On today's show I am joined by my pal Bikyu to give a very broad overview of pop music from Taiwan/T-Pop. Bikyu provides some insights as to how the pop music of Taiwan has responded to various sociopolitical climates, diaspora, and indigenous language revitalisation. If you want to delve deeper into Bikyu's selections, they have curated a larger playlist on Spotify here. Bikyu has also provided reading material for some context! Thanks to Living Goodness, The Tuning Fork and Auckland City of Music for supporting Morning Glory <3

Today's show falls on Juneteenth in the States, a good time for us in Aotearoa to support Black artists and contribute funds where we can! Bandcamp is donating 100% of its share of profits today the NAACP Legal fund, but if you're seeing this sometime in the future you can go direct to the NAACP here. Thank you to The Tuning Fork for putting us on as always.
