    August Uncensored

    On today's episode we unleash some of your noonas' deepest, darkest secrets...like Amy being a cheerleader in high school, Lia's questionable behavior at a Green Day concert when she was fourteen, and Megan's college encounter with a stairway beer bong. Don't worry...we ask and answer a lot of questions about K-Dramas too, thanks to our fantastic patrons! What is Chekov's gun, and how does it relate to K-Drama and our writing? Should we stick with a drama where the story doesn't grip us but the main character does? Have we ever challenged our genre preferences and won? Join us for 2024's August Uncensored!

    K-Con and Special Guest, Lynne Martens!

    Today Amy and Lia have the pleasure of talking to costume designer/maker Lynne Martens who scored a press pas to L.A.'s K-Con and got to breathe the same air as Park Min-Young, Rowoon, Kim Soo-Hyun, and Taemin, to name a few. We loved getting to hear Lynne's K-Drama and K-Pop origin story, how she's only two Kevin Bacons away from Ji Chang-Wook and Lee Min-Ho, and of course what it was like to brave the chaotic joy of K-Con! You can find Lynne on Instagram and TikTok at @hallyuwithme and @hallyu.with.me. Check out her YouTube Channel (also @hallyuwithme) for all the K-Pop and K-Drama joy.

    All About Angst

    When someone whispers "angsty" about a drama, buckle up! You're in for a ride that could twist your insides like a pretzel and possibly leave you ugly-crying into your mattress. So, what's your flavor? Are you the type who thrives on emotional turbulence, eagerly lapping up every tear and heartache? Or do you prefer your stories fluffy as a cloud, with just a pinch of angst to keep things interesting? We explore the highs, the lows, and everything in between. Get ready to talk about dramas that made us writhe, cry, and maybe throw a pillow or two at our screen (gently, of course). K-Pop Rec: Muse by Jimin Ready to download your first audiobook?
