Faith is doing something a bit different this time. Instead of the usual representation discussion, she has decided to do a good old-fashioned in-depth drama review on Netflix's live-action Yu Yu Hakusho (2023) series. Join her and Red as they tell you the good, the bad, and the meh.

Here I (Faith) try out a new unscripted review format. Hear my non-spoiler reviews of my current favorite j-dramas and my ratings for their representation. It's short and sweet so I hope you enjoy it!

It's a new year and Wathanya and Faith are back with a new podcast episode. Thanks to all of you who suggested it. We hope you enjoy our discussion about the representation in the Korean drama Her Private Life.

We are FINALLY releasing a new episode. We sincerely apologize for the delay. We've had a lot on our plates lately. Now we know we said we would release the Korean Drama Her Private Life next but we got to recording and editing this one first. So please join Wathanya and Faith as they tackle the representation in the Japanese drama Black School Rules Part 1 with special guest Ayumi from the Sparkleside Chats with Magical Girl Ayu podcast. The audio quality is a bit lower than usual and the episode is quite long but we hope you all will still enjoy it!
