- This is a bonus episode because I am nothing if not extremely extra and I had thoughts about Yoongi’s second outing as Agust D. (90% Positive, I promise.)
- Have you listened to Episode 3 – Stitch Talks Map of the Soul: 7 yet?
- If you haven’t checked out my essay series on Antiblackness in the K-pop Industry and its Fandom Spaces, you should! Because it’s a good way to get a grasp on my complicated and always in-flux feelings about Korean pop and hip hop music (and its stars) as well as my feelings about Korean hip hop as an art form.
- For more information about Jonestown and its demographics, I recommend two things: the Jonestown Wikipedia page (for easy consumption) and the article “An Update on the Demographics of Jonestown” (for more accurate figures for the population and death toll)
- As always, thanks for listening!
