This episode of Pod45 discusses our recent The Hallyu Project cluster, which was edited and introduced by Yin Yuan.

Contemporaries co-editor Francisco Robles sat down to chat about the cluster and the Hallyu phenomenon in some of its manifold dimensions with editor Yin Yuan (@yinyuanx) and three of the cluster's contributors: Eunjin Choi (@echoi_24), Rita Raley (@ritaraley), and Andrea Acosta (@a_priyd).

Eunjin and Rita co-wrote the essay "K-streams: Global Korea and the OTT Era." Eunjin is a lecturer at Sogang University in Seoul, South Korea. Rita is Professor of English at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

Andrea wrote "Bots and Binaries: On the Failure of Human Verification." Andrea is a current PhD candidate in English at UCLA and incoming Assistant Professor of Digital Media at Pitzer College.
