| The ARMY Community | 10 Feb 2022 | 01:21:15 | |
This week, we discuss the diversity and differences of the ARMY community, from earlier to newer fans, from those who only stan BTS and those who are multis, those new to k-pop as a whole and those who have stanned other groups in the past. This is a friendly conversation between friends (and absolutely not comprehensive) so as always let us know your thoughts. Our socials: Support the show (https://ko-fi.com/girlzwithfunpod) | |||

| The BTS Vacuum | 27 Jan 2022 | 01:55:19 | |
Here's another long episode (we always say we won't and then we do....). In this episode, we spend a long time discussing some Twitter discourse about a possible vacuum in the k-pop industry if BTS were to stop making music for whatever reason. We try to wrap our heads around what motivates ARMY and what makes BTS different. We're eager to hear your thoughts, so drop us a line if you have comments to share on the topics discussed!

An update to the episode from two weeks ago! Julie and Kalea had been wondering the status of their tickets...............and now have an answer. This episode also features a regularly scheduled tangent about Joon's almost-buzzcut, and Kalea poses a hypothetical question to Julie. | |||
| A Little Biased | 19 Aug 2021 | 00:51:46 | |
Julie and Kalea talk through how their biases became their biases, whether they have a bias "type", whether biases are chosen or serendipitous, and talk about the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) at length. | |||
| Concert Ticket Limbo | 12 Aug 2021 | 01:17:51 | |
Julie and Kalea wonder whether their tickets were a good "investment," and when the rescheduled tour may occur (if ever). They also discuss their dream setlists, VLives, the Zoom fanmeeting, and the fact that Butter is STILL on the Billboard charts. | |||
| Constantly Offended | 05 Aug 2021 | 01:09:13 | |
This week we discuss the latest Billboard achievements of Butter and PTD, Weverse shipping (per usual) and the Lucky Box, the Epilogue video and Joon's thirst trapping.

This week, we discuss a slightly edgy subject... lip syncing! Join us as we chat about the history of lip-syncing throughout pop culture and attempt to understand why this topic gets folks so riled up!

| GWF Reunion Tour | 01 Jul 2021 | 00:55:47 | |
It's here: the moment you've all been waiting for. After a year and a half, Julie and Kalea are reunited in the DMV!!!

| Muster 2021 | 17 Jun 2021 | 01:07:01 | |
We were so excited to talk about Festa and Muster that we split the conversation into two hour-long episodes to give each of them the time they deserve while sparing our listeners. We somehow mustered our strength to wake up at 5:30AM to watch the eighth Muster live! From platinum Hobi to JK's sleeve to OT7 Daechwita to Jin's popping, popping, popping, popping (and much more!), we share our sleep deprived thoughts on it all. Our socials: | |||

| Hotter, Sweeter, Cooler | 03 Jun 2021 | 00:50:05 | |
Out of an abundance of caution, we have a conversation that may be triggering to those with eating disorders or in recovery from 12:37-14:05. We fangirl over Butter promos so far, the Hotter remix (which is actually just really cute), the McDonald’s meal and lack of purple packaging in the States, #ProtectBorahae, and upcoming schedules. (Nam)June is set to be a very busy month! We are participating in K-Pop Social Night (KPSN)'s #PODCASTFEST21 on July 10-11 to raise money for NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness). We'll be doing a Q&A on all things BTS, so hang out with us and ask your burning questions!

| Get It, Let It Roll! | 27 May 2021 | 01:06:45 | |
Welcome to our first post-butter episode! Not an episode for the locals....proceed at your own risk (haha)! We reflect on our early impressions of Butter as a song and the MV as a whole. Brace yourself for some intense fangirling! | |||
| The Official Hair Episode (Butter Edition) | 13 May 2021 | 00:47:00 | |
Julie and Kalea briefly discuss the upcoming Festa, but mostly cry over the number of exposed foreheads, new hair colors, and Namjoon's penchant for spoilers/lying (for legal reasons this is a JOKE!!). Support the show (https://ko-fi.com/girlzwithfunpod) | |||

| Member Series: SUGA | 05 Mar 2024 | 01:17:52 | |
It's amateur hour because we don't wish Yoongi a Happy Birthday in an episode entirely about him [clown emoji here]. We continue our member series (which will progress in fan chant order) and spend more than an hour talking about Mr. Min Yoongi aka SUGA aka Agust D aka GLOSS. We discuss our favorite tracks, traits, and discuss what we know about his pre-debut background (and only manage to make it a little bit delusional).
