  • S1 E16 - The Rise of Western Sydney & it’s Culture: Who’s clout chasing?

    With the rise of artists such as 21 District, Hooligan Hefs & Onefour and athletes like Tai Tuivasa and Tyson Pedro who all hail from Western Sydney, the region is receiving an attention it has never received previously before due to their popular influences on Sydney culture, and their pride and struggles about being Western Sydney born and raised.

    We dissect on what it’s like hearing and seeing the area that we’ve grown up in suddenly being pushed in the limelight and the abundance of non-Westies who are now taking part in the Western Sydney lad aesthetic. People want to be part of the Western Sydney aesthetic without the consequences.

  • S1 E15 - Nursing Home Stigmas: Breaking Down Stigmas in Pasifika Communities

    Cribbs & Talica hone in on the topic of "aged care" or "placing your loved one into a care facility" and how that is viewed in Pasifika culture. We speak explicitly about this stigma in the context of having a loved one who requires a level of care due to health reasons (and not from placing an elderly loved one in care due to them being old). Cribbs interviews her cousin Thom and her sister who have separate experiences in this field and they unpack their thoughts on the subject.

    Recently an Instagram video was shared depicting a girl groping HP Onit at the HP Boyz concert last weekend at MVP. Cribbs & Talica dissect the double standards of harassment and why you need consent at all times. We also talk about our experiences of non-consent, double standards of men/women and nudes etiquette.

  • S1 E12 - The “White girls are superior” narrative: Pasifika boy preferences

    Today’s episode topic was influenced by a viral tweet this week that made its rounds across international Polynesian Twitter in regards to Polynesian men stating that for certain reasons they prefer White women over Polynesian women. This is not about preferences, we know that everyone has a preference with dating - this is about the narrative, putting down your own race constantly and wondering why Polynesian women are upset online.

Sorry for the slight sound issues in regards to our microphones as this was our first time recording live.
