The Kpopcast

The Kpopcast is a kpop podcast. The weekly program features reviews of the latest kpop releases, discussions on trends within the genre, and what it means to be a kpop fan in the United States. Occasionally featuring recurring guests involved in and around the k-pop community, live coverage of events, and interviews of contemporaries in kpop.

Recurring Segments:

• Daebak or Not: Our feature segment which takes a critical look at the hottest kpop single of the week. Hosts each give the kpop hit a numerical one to five score – five being the highest – for two sub-categories:
  • The concept: what the hosts think from the visuals, theme, message/story and the dance.
  • The audio: what the hosts think of the song itself

Lastly, hosts offer their overall score for the single in whether the song is Daebak or Not.

• Hit Replays: Designed to offer song recommendations that might not always be on the top 40 for kpop, the show hosts each offer their hot 30-second take for what they’re listening to for the week on replay.
• Listener Feedback: Listening to listener responses to the prior episode, kpopcast hosts continue conversations which add insight or provocative discussion around kpop.

Specials:

• Hit Rewind: Designed to offer throwback song recommendations that defined the year in kpop they were released.
• Hit Issues: Unedited/Unpolished episode series offers ‘Hot Takes’ on trending news and topics in and around kpop.
