18 Sep 2019 | First time with Girlz with Fun? | 00:48:13 | |
Welcome to Girlz With Fun, a BTS podcast by ARMY, for ARMY. We got tired of "experts" who weren't part of the fandom, and decided to take back the mic. In this episode, we'll introduce ourselves, our fandom backgrounds, our first forays into BTS, and yes, our biases. We also discuss our hopes and dreams, or really, just where we want this podcast to go. For more of the steaming hot mess that is this podcast, follow our social medias. You nice, keep going!

29 Sep 2019 | The Boyfriend Trope | 00:55:02 | |
No, you're not dating BTS. I know, but someone had to say it. Sadly, we're not either. How has "the boyfriend trope" contributed to their (and other "boy band") marketing? Is it needed? Is it necessary? We don't claim to have the answers, but we ponder this question for an hour. Support the show (https://ko-fi.com/girlzwithfunpod) | |||
04 Oct 2019 | Jungkook is a Super Saiyan | 01:13:45 | |
So let me think on this.....the girlz go unscripted and troll everything from themselves to enl*stment to who has the stinkiest farts. Kalea ponders the ONE question she would ask Namjoon if given the chance. Also, spot Julie stalling and whispering incoherently in the background.

A surprise episode drop in which we reflect on the end of the momentous Love Yourself Speak Yourself era, and what it meant in our lives (and the meaning of Hobi in that red suit). We also share our completely unscientific 2020 predictions. | |||
09 Nov 2019 | Make It Right: Anotha One | 01:13:11 | |
A streaming fever dream....we get a lil edgy in the middle. We do some questionable math around album equivalent units and our mere mortal minds strive to understand BTS' streaming power, inadvertently diss popular western artists and once again discuss hair. This is officially a hair podcast. Support the show (https://ko-fi.com/girlzwithfunpod) | |||
25 Nov 2019 | BTS feat. | 01:13:44 | |
WARNING: Our messiest episode yet-proceed at your own risk. Half "normal" topics, half ASMR of Julie crunching pizza and the metronome being aggressive. We discuss the usual topics, as well as future collabs we'd love to see (peep the title for a sneak peek). If you make to the end, you're a real one! | |||
13 Dec 2019 | Girlz Uncut: Jin's Forehead | 00:51:29 | |
Did you miss us? It's not a real episode unless our microphone makes unexpected crackling noises. In this overly long, totally uncut episode, we discuss hair (what else is new? Kalea just really likes Jin's forehead, okay?), our gratitude for our listeners around the world, DC k-pop dance nights, cup sleeve events, end of year performances, and much more.

We return to our regularly scheduled programming: that is, [slightly] crackly mic, eating while podding, and ranting about whatever new developments have our ARMY lightsticks in a twist. This week, it was Gr*mmys hype, the probable bloodbath that will be concert tickets, and Julie is wrecked by Hobi. To quote the man himself..."mmmm, I don't care."

Kicking off your Monday with a long one! We're very excited to have two friends on the show, Jess (@justkillingtime216 on insta) and Christine (@christine.evelyn_ on insta and Christine Jackson on YouTube). We're using our friend's mic so things are better than ever. There was so much in so little time: the Gr*mmys, Corden & the first Black Swan performance (BTS as donuts? RM as a snitch?), iHeartRadio, why BTS is still in LA. We also talk about our previous ticketing experiences and what we got for Map of the Soul Tour and the various presales. | |||

Kalea and Julie discuss the ~stigma~ of being a fan. Why is rooting for a Billboard Hot 100 #1 artist any stranger than, say, being a sports fan (note: not mutually exclusive)? There is plenty of recent news to go around, including BTS's VMA performance and the IONIQ MV (real talk: why does a car commercial have to go that hard?).

We discuss multiple recent BTS performances released in the past week (ish), new Dynamite MVs, the new UN speech, BTS Universe Story, and of course the news of BTS' new album. Finally, though it is never a fun conversation, we address recent instances of racism toward BTS perpetrated by Western media and those who would belittle their achievements. | |||
08 Oct 2020 | Is BTS the Genre? | 01:01:38 | |
In what may be one of our best episodes yet, Kalea and Julie debate the perennial question: Is BTS k-pop, or have they surpassed that label? How is k-pop defined, and in what ways does BTS conform or deviate from that model? As always, we discuss the news (and there's a lot of it): the Jason Derulo X BTS Savage Love Remix, BTS Week on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, and BTS achieving a perfect all-kill on the Billboard charts.
