The Followers: House of Prayer
USG Audio
Show overview
The Followers: House of Prayer has been publishing since 2021, and across the 4 years since has built a catalogue of 17 episodes, alongside 4 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 8 hours of audio in total. Releases follow an irregular cadence, with the show now in its 2nd season.
Episodes typically run twenty to thirty-five minutes — most land between 26 min and 36 min — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. The publisher flags most episodes as explicit, so expect adult themes or strong language throughout. It is catalogued as a EN-language True Crime show.
There hasn’t been a new episode in the last ninety days; the most recent episode landed 7 months ago. The busiest year was 2021, with 15 episodes published. Published by USG Audio.

Introducing Mission K-Pop
ECaty Szeto is a woman with a dream: to become a K-Pop superstar. The 23-year-old Asian American is traveling from her home in LA to South Korea’s capital Seoul to attend a K-Pop academy. There she’ll do hardcore training in singing, dancing and styling. All this is to prepare for make-or-break auditions for K-Pop entertainment agencies. If she makes it, Caty could be like all those chart-topping idols who travel the world, perform to legions of fans and make millions. But this quest has its challenges. Caty finds out about ageism in the industry, where many new idols are in their teens. Then she comes face-to-face with incredibly specific K-beauty standards while navigating being a foreigner in K-Pop. Over just three months, our host journalist Haeryun Kang follows Caty to see if she can overcome these obstacles and reach K-Pop stardom.
