The besea.n babes, Charley, Karlie (then she had to go for her din dins), Mai-Anh and Amy answer your questions that you submitted, we talked about vegetarianism as an ESEA, about whether our parents taught us how to cook, how ESEA women feel walking into rural pubs, some dumb AF racist incidents, where we see ourselves in two years time, and gardening (mainly from Mai-Anh lol).

April 11, 2021 The besea.n babes join our podcast!
Soo...the podcast is growing up and we've now got FIVE new hosts. You'll be familiar with the besea.n babes if you've listened before! We talked about ethnicity and race, pride in where we're from, then things get a bit silly when Amy introduces a slightly controversial 'most likely to' game (spoiler, turns out they all think I'm dirty and no use in a zombie apocalypse)

March 07, 2021 Online friendships, food, body image, raising kids ft. The MSG Pod, MiMe Aye and Huong Black
I talk with the wonderful MiMi Aye and Huong Black, co-hosts of the MSG Pod (and SO MUCH MORE). We talk about what's happening in Myanmar, how they both became friends, their jobs, raising their kids and they also give me dating advice (they gotta like my KFC jumper and not be a facist). They truly are such a laugh and left me in stitches.
