Pop Music Battle

This is one of hundreds of 60-second radio spots created by the Center for East Asian Studies (CEAS) for Kansas Public Radio (KPR). The purpose of this outreach program is to introduce the people of Kansas to the culture and current issues of East Asia.Broadcast Transcript: This installment of Postcards from Asia is brought to you by the letters J and K and the number 1 with a bullet.
