Don't Tell Ammu

In this episode, Bushra and Raida are the most honest they've been in a while. From falling in love to heartbreak, they talk about it all. 

In this episode, Raida and Bushra talk about seeing each other for the first time in months (from a distance) and what an absolutely jarring experience it was. They also talk about revisiting an old shared dream of theirs, while Raida debuts a song about love that could easily win the next Grammy. Somewhere in between, they talk about love (as though they understand it at all), how they're vibing halfway through Ramadan, and the time Raida stole the pillow from right under her mom's head while sleepwalking.

Enjoy! 

In this episode, Raida grills Bushra for failing the online friendship quiz she made, while Bushra asks Raida to stop obsessing over Ted Bundy. Also, Raida thinks ghost hunting is a good first date, and Bushra thinks Raida is stupid. In between, the two discuss work struggles, their revised views on the evil eye, and how they're prepping themselves for a fully-quarantined Ramadan 2020.


Also, don't let this fact steer you away from the podcast, but did you know Bushra eats whole lemons as a snack? Yeah, I know, but look, we're all flawed in one way or another. 

In this episode, Bushra and Raida discuss the concept of the “evil eye” in desi cultures. Raida is too skeptical about everything, and Bushra accidentally wears a white dress to a henna party. Also, Raida tries to tell the only jinn story that’s ever scared her (“tries”), and Bushra looks like Harriet Potter with the burn mark on her forehead. 

Enjoy!

In this episode, Bushra and Raida talk about the shows they've been watching, the boys they've been loving (not really), and the things they've been doing. Raida is an idiot and finds difficulty in distinguishing between a tiger and a lion, and Bushra has a couple of screws loose and sleeps with a pillow over her head, instead of under.

Enjoy!

In this episode, Raida and Bushra bring some of their best friends on to talk about the double standards Desi girls face in the community. From having weird curfews to hiding their locations to getting blasted at dawats (Desi people parties), these girls talk about it all. 

Of course, they're all still quarantined, and so, hearing six girls over Skype might pop one of your eardrums. You have been warned. Boom, boom, boom, I wanna hear you say Wayhoooo. Enjoy. 

Desi---> ppl from Indian/Pakistan/Bangladesh, generally speaking.
Gorls---> what Bushra and Raida call girls because they're uneducated.

**Please forgive the subpar sound quality, as well as the occasional audio cut-outs.**

In this episode, Bushra and Raida talk about the absurdity that is Love is Blind and the Bachelor, and imagine what life would be like if they were contestants. Bushra also reflects on her final year of college and discusses having her college graduation canceled due to the virus. In between, the two talk about reviving their motivation for the podcast, being lonely, and a ton of other things that prove a clear decline in intelligence as the episode progresses.

Anyways, welcome to episode 17--an auxiliary episode for you to listen to while you quarantined at home. 

First and foremost, Raida and Bushra apologize for the extremely morbid title. In this episode, they talk about how their lives have changed since the escalation of the global pandemic. Also, Raida almost loses her shit trying to explain to Bushra a car crash she saw outside her bedroom window. 

Enjoy episode 16*--hope you're all staying safe, healthy, and sane during this time. 








*Please note that we're by no means trying to diminish the seriousness of the Coronavirus. We're simply providing a personal insight into our lives during this time, which is a constant balancing act of optimism and caution. 

In this episode, Raida and Bushra recount their recent trip to San Francisco, which included getting approached by scary strangers on the street, accidentally running into the set of Matrix 4, and missing the chance to meet their lover, Jake Gyllenhaal. The two also discuss seeing each other cry for the first time ever and just how jarringly ugly that was. 

Welcome to episode 15. It’s awful, but you’ll love it.

In this episode, which Raida almost lost her goddamn mind editing, the two talk about the job Bushra received literally six minutes before recording as well as Raida's new job. They also say a bunch of nonsensical bullcrap in between and throw in a couple tidbits about being a woman in the Computer Science world. 

Welcome to episode 14; we're losing our shit.
