June 11, 2026 (Vancouver, BC) // K-ALL, the premier podcast spotlighting the global Asian diaspora and its defining sounds, is officially partnering with the esteemed music and culture outlet V13 Media.
Led by Angel Polito—who serves as both the Host/Producer of K-ALL and now as the new Managing Editor of K-Pop for V13 Media—this strategic alliance aims to bring K-ALL’s signature deep-dive storytelling, music news, and exclusive interviews to a massive, global audience.
“From my very first meeting with Chris to discuss my interview with Xdinary Heroes for V13, I knew this wouldn't be a one-time collaboration. He emphasized the importance of community and creating a content ecosystem where artists and creators can thrive. That vision deeply resonated with me as the founder and host of K-ALL, a show dedicated to uplifting not only the artists in the spotlight but also the talented individuals working behind the scenes,” Angel shares.
“Together, V13 and K-ALL are helping shape the future of music coverage across the Asian diaspora. By fostering stronger connections between Eastern and Western audiences, we're creating opportunities for greater cultural exchange and proving that music transcends borders and language barriers.”
Introducing "K-ALL CUTS"
As part of this exciting partnership, fans can look forward to K-ALL CUTS: exclusive, bite-sized segments hosted under the V13 Media Group umbrella. K-ALL CUTS will bring audiences even closer to the artists they love, offering lighthearted artist stories and behind-the-scenes industry secrets, and surprising facts about fans’ favorite creators.
Christopher Gonda, Publisher & CEO of V13 Media Group, comments: “From the moment I met Angel, I was impressed. This young woman is so driven, authentic, and personable. It was a no-brainer to collab with her and K-ALL, and I’ve also already learned so much. Here’s to loads more cool content and coverage of underground artists.”
