Part 1 of 2 on mental health. Nur and Teah discuss the possible appropriation around the mental health discussion in its current trendy state in Brunei.
Nur, Iman, and Teah discuss their experiences as women in male-dominated industries. Do men consider women's expertise the gravity as they would a man's? (No.) What's with that? (Misogyny.)
Iman, Nur, and Teah talk about their ambitions-- whether it's easy or not to achieve them, and if Teah's aspiration to be a prefect can still be a reality.
Nur and Teah are joined by the most enthusiastic food lover, Ilham Yassin. What is the food culture in Brunei, and how does it help strengthen bonds? We promise, none of us said "nom nom nom" in this episode.
Teah and Iman are joined by poet, Hariz Fadhilah, to discuss about switching of languages, Hariz's bilingual writing, Teah's racism, and Iman's inability to read Malay properly.
Teah, Nur and Rau come together to talk about covering your head using tudung. Is it a choice for most women? And why are women's clothes so heavily policed anyway?
Teah, Iman and first guest host (!) Raudhah discuss taking up new languages--why Raudhah likes it so much, the semantics of it from Iman, and Teah's language failures.
Teah, Iman, and Nur discuss how the way they talk is influenced by the people and community that raised them. Teah and Nur come from a family with Kg Ayer roots and are maybe too rambunctious/gawah for some (i.e. Iman).
