  • a solo ep by mashnun on reconnecting with culture, taking accountability, + more

    hi :) this was my first solo episode on the pod cause mou's microphone was being silly. this was a lot harder than i expected lol so it's a bit all over the place. i wasn't too sure what direction i wanted to go, cus you all gave me so many different topics of discussion, but some that I chose were how i go about falling back in love with not only my culture, but culture in general, some of the realizations i have on my own life as i get older, as well as a bit of an art/writing update and where im at with my creative journey:^) i hope you enjoy and thank you for listening friends

  • south asians love the arts til their kids wanna be artists

    in this episode, we talk about the struggle that south asian kids go through to pursue the arts, but more specifically, the social media realm. social media is still on the rise and a lot of south asian parents get upset when you post "private" matters into the void and then you have to make a separate account to hide it from them and then a random cousin snitches on you?? anyways, we ramble in this episode about the difficulties of posting on social media in a south asian household, the workload that comes with following your passions, and so much more. hope u enjoy!
