K-Pod is a culture-focused interview podcast from the nonprofit KoreanAmericanStory.org, hosted by journalists Catherine Hong and Juliana Sohn. Across its five seasons, the show spotlights Korean American creatives—artists, designers, chefs, musicians, writers, and directors—exploring their career paths, identity, and artistic influences. Beyond individual profiles, later seasons expanded into thematic deep-dives on Korean traditions and wellness practices, such as wedding rituals, ancestor veneration (Jesa), hanbok craftsmanship, and traditional Korean medicine (Hanbang). The tone is warm, conversational, and intellectually curious, blending personal storytelling with cultural education. Appealing to Korean Americans seeking connection to heritage as well as general audiences interested in Asian American culture, arts, and lifestyle, K-Pod offers a thoughtful lens on identity, creativity, and tradition. Its mission ties into healing generational trauma through storytelling, making it both an arts showcase and a meaningful cultural archive.
