  • 12: How to survive an apocalypse

    As someone that watches and reads many apocalyptic shows and books, I thought it would be time to share my wisdom with my listeners.

    This podcast is created by me, L. My mind tends to be filled with loads of random thoughts and these random thoughts lead to very in-depth conversations in my head. So I thought I could turn those internal conversations into external conversations by recording my opinions, questions, and findings on each topic. Now and then I will be joined by my friends…so it won’t be a totally one-sided convo.

  • 10: Decolonize the curriculum

    After attending a talk on decolonizing our education and curriculum, I wanted to take a deeper look into this topic. So join me on this discussion, where I also go into my experiences with the curriculum here in the UK (examples included of course) and my thoughts on why it's so important.

  • 9: A little representation, please

    Media representation is very lacking.  Little me would have loved more South Asian representation so that I had more costume options for parties and book days.

    Join L and B as they discuss their experiences seeing representation in movies and TV series.

  • 8: Are we going to get cancelled?

  • 7: Dark is beautiful

    Following on from the Beauty Standards episode, I thought it would be good to discuss colorism. There is quite a dark history behind why lighter skin tones are more desired, so sit back and listen as I take you through the facts and truths behind our society’s colourist ideas.

  • 6: I don't care about your beauty standards...I'm beautiful

    Beauty standards are dumb. But a large portion of my life was (and still is) spent on trying to fit them. So how does one become content with their image? Listen to find out 

    EPISODE DISCLAIMER 

    As this is a discussion on beauty standards (both in The West and in Asia) we will be discussing body image and all the positives and negatives within that. So, if you think it might be triggering for you, it might be best to skip this particular episode.

    Also another mini-note, this was one of the first-ever episodes I recorded...back when I didn't own a mic. So the quality is a little questionable but the points and discussions are still really good, so I would still have a listen.

  • 5: Life in Lockdown 3.0

    Living life in UK's third lockdown is getting a bit difficult. 
    Are we staying sane? Not really...
    But are we sane enough to do another L&B episode? Just about...

    Join L and B as they discuss their opinions on how the UK has dealt with the pandemic and the little tips here and there on how they are staying somewhat sane throughout it. 

    [This episode was recorded back in January when the UK went into lockdown no.3 but because L is a very disorganized human she is only releasing it now, just when the lockdown is (hopefully) coming to an end. Also, the audio went a little funny at points because...zoom (that is my only explanation)]

  • 4: A conversation with a spiritual teacher (ft ShadedLove)

    Spirituality. I think there are many things we think about when we hear that word. But what does it really mean? and how do 'spiritual people' really live their lives? Well that's what I want to find out in this episode as I discuss spirituality with ShadedLove, a spiritual teacher.

    Join L and B on the first episode of the L&B series (which will be sprinkled here and there). In this episode, they explore how their cultural identities have changed throughout their lives, from L's perspective as British-Tamil and B's perspective as British-Korean. [Listen to the end to hear all their anecdotes and funny encounters with people throughout this journey]
