Let’s get ready to have our lunch money stolen, because we’re talking Kpop and Anime. For our fourth episode, I wanted to examine why eastern media has recently exploded in popularity within the west.
Joining us for this topic is Kpop scholar Shannon Locke, who reveals some differences in eastern vs western stardom. Then, writer Cody Ziglar discusses the moral code of Dragon Ball Z, and dissects coming-of-age stories written in Japan. Lastly, I take a deep dive on why falling into the rabbit hole of another culture can feel so good. Plus, how it can actually smooth out differences between you and the community around you.
