Customer Reviews
Inspiring, encouraging, entertaining and community building.
I want to say that I love the Kinjaz PodKast. I have been a fan of the Kinjaz since ABDC Season 3 (I voted for yall to win). Ever since I saw the first episode, I was hooked on your group. Since then, I have tried my best to follow your journey, so I was stoked to have found out that you have a podcast. I am not a dancer, I am not Asian, and I don’t live in California. Nonetheless, I have found hope, encouragement, entertainment, comfort and honestly a since of community by following your activities and especially listening to this podcast. It was even more surprising for me to find out that the dancers, movers, and artist that I have loved for years have a connection to you as well (Keone and Mari Madrid, Sean Lew, Jabbawockeez, BTS, D-Trix and the quest crew fam, etc). This Podkast has been one of my biggest influences and impacts the past couple of years. It has taught me many life lessons. I look forward to what you guys will continue to do in the future.
Insightful and Entertaining
Ben and Ant complement each other well as hosts but what I love most about this pod is that the hosts let the guests talk freely and let the conversation wander wherever it may go. The topics are sometimes on the heavier side but it’s refreshing to hear grown adults having real, authentic conversations about real life. The hosts and the guests are equally insightful and entertaining. I found this pod late in season 1 and it quickly became a favorite. Keep up the great work guys!
Power in confiding in your tribe
This was my first Kinjaz podcast so I was not sure what to expect but I was so impressed with the flow of the show! I felt a real authenticity between Anthony and Jackson and the conversations they were having. The questions flowed smoothly and the time flew by. Thank you for inviting Jackson and providing this unique listening experience for us.
