On today’s episode of Who Is with Ross Oteri, Maydha Sood (she/her) and Ross Oteri (he/him) talk about Indian festivals and African folk tales. Moving away from their usual riffing, they actually teach each other about stories from their continents. Maydha tells Ross the mythology behind Holi, the Indian festival of colours, and Ross tells her about Anansi, the trickster spider-god. 

They also introduce a new segment called “I don’t know what this is,” where they discuss all the things they don’t know the answers to. Quickly, this turns into a conversation about modern medicine and plastic surgery.
