    Jun 9 2024

    🎙️ Welcome back to the Lucky Girls Pod 🎙️

    We're back with a bang in this double feature comeback special, and this episode is all about our beloved Ppop! 🌟🇵🇭

    After Meli's viral TikTok stitch with reality show star and TikToker Sav Palacio, the comment section blew up with intriguing discussions about Ppop, and we're here to dive right into them! 💬🔥

    Join us as we chat about the recent girl group domination that's sparked a much-needed resurgence in Ppop. It's about time these queens got their spotlight! 👑✨

    We'll explore how SB19 has trailblazed the Ppop sound, setting the stage for today's Ppop landscape. Plus, we'll clear up the confusion between OPM and Ppop—spoiler alert: Ppop is a vibrant subgenre of OPM, all about the fan experience! 🎤💖

    And of course, we can't ignore the constant comparisons between Kpop and Ppop. Despite their unique identities, we'll discuss how Ppop has drawn some inspiration from Kpop, just like Kpop did with Jpop, especially in the business realm. 📈🎶

    We'll also share our wish lists for the future of Ppop. As the industry grows, we'll talk about what we hope to see to keep the momentum going and ensure continued success. 🌠📅

    Lastly, we'll tackle the struggles of being international Ppop fans. From limited merch access and chaotic concert logistics to language barriers, we'll share our experiences and tips on navigating these challenges. 🌍🛍️

  • Serendipity Sessions 01: YES MY LOVE, LIMELIGHT, ONE N' ONLY
    Mar 26 2024

    Chapters:

    3:18 - YES. MY LOVE

    22:28 - LIMELIGHT

    42:27 - ONE N' ONLY


    Welcome to the debut of Serendipity Sessions, where Lucky Girls Pod ventures into uncharted territories of Asian music, serving you a deep dive mix of artists or groups you probably have never heard of just yet! Who knows they may be your next obsession?


    In this first episode of Serendipity Sessions, we are on a mission to introduce to you some hidden gems of PPOP, KPOP, and JPOP, giving them the spotlight they truly deserve. 🌟 From the freshness of PPop vocal powerhouse Yes, My Love to the cute and trendy girls of KPop girl group Limelight and the catchy Latin beats of ONE N' ONLY, get ready to be blown away by their undeniable talent! Which begs the question, if they’re so talented why aren’t they bigger already? Well keep listening because that is exactly the conversations we will be having at Serendipity Sessions.


    Serendipity Sessions isn’t just about introducing you to these groups; we also want our listeners to open their minds to new music and realize that outside of the groups or artists you stan, there are also others out there that are as talented; they just haven't really found their footing just yet. Just like some of the amazing groups that have come from nothing, we want to be able to do our part and lift up some of these under-the-radar groups because they have so much talent to not be showing the world. So hopefully with your help, we can give them the spotlight they deserve. And just like the word "serendipity," we want to be that platform to give you some “good luck” in finding these unexpected yet fortunate discoveries in music.


    Through Serendipity Sessions, we want to sprinkle some luck and manifest success for these rising stars. 💫 Despite our modest platform, we really want to inject luck into opportunity, giving these artists the boost they need to shine brighter than ever before. So hope you continue to join us in this journey!

  • S2 Ep 2: MR. SUAVE GOT THAT FILO RIZZ! CHASING DREAMS WITH CHASE MARTINEZ | Guest: Chase Martinez
    Feb 25 2024

    Welcome to Season 2 of the Lucky Girls Pod! Get ready for a thrilling ride in this second episode of our seasons premier double feature, where we're introducing you to the incredibly talented Chase Martinez, an independent Filipino artist who's lighting up Los Angeles.

  • S2 Ep 5: Fangirl freak outs, standom girl math, manifestation magic, bias turned bestie, and an aegyotron boyfriend | Lucky Girls Pod Late New Year's Special
    Feb 6 2024

    Welcome back to another episode of the Lucky Girls Pod! It's been too long yall!


    Grab your party hats and a tub of popcorn, because we're about to take a hilarious trip down memory lane! 🍿🎈 In this long-overdue New Year's special, join us as we dish out the juiciest, funniest, and downright craziest moments that made 2023 a year to remember (or forget, depending on who you ask)! 📆✨


    We've got not one, but two special guests joining the chaos today – our ride-or-die besties Lydia Lane and Jasmine! 🎉 Get ready for some serious girl talk mixed with a generous sprinkle of delulu takes and laugh-out-loud shenanigans.


    First up on the agenda: Rhodie's Top Capitalist Chronicles! 💰💸 Prepare yourselves for a wild ride as Rhodie spills the tea on all her extravagant standom purchases, proving that when it comes to feeding our fangirl obsessions, money is no object – it's just a pesky detail! 💳 And remember, in Standom Girl Math, if you forget about a purchase, it's practically free!


    But wait, there's more! Paige and Jasmine are here to share their epic bias loyalty fails from 2023. 🤭 From bouncing between bias like a ping pong ball to justifying their wavering commitments, these two unloyal queens spill all the tea on their insane bias hopping adventures!


    Next, it's time for some serious manifestation magic with Paige and Lydia! 🌟✨ Tune in as they recount their top manifestations that became reality in 2023, from Paige's serendipitous encounter with Stell from SB19 to Lydia's dream hosting gigs and artist interviews. Who said dreams don't come true? 😉


    And speaking of chaos, buckle up for Meli's wild ride through 2023 with her non-standom boyfriend, Manny G! 🎢 From dragged-to-concerts escapades to impromptu aegyo performances on YouTube Live, Manny proves that love knows no bounds – even if it means enduring the madness of a fangirl's extreme hobbies!


    Last but not least, Lydia shares her top freak-out moments of 2023 – mostly induced by jet lag and one memorable incident in New York that nearly got her kicked out of the friend group! 😱🗽 Let's just say the trauma lingers, but the laughs are eternal!


    So grab your favorite beverage, cozy up, and get ready to laugh until your sides ache as we reminisce on the chaos, craziness, and unforgettable moments that made 2023 one for the books!
