The Brown Burndown: An Indian American Pop Culture Pod

This week, we do the #1 thing fun people do and talk about how fun we are! We discuss our IRL definitely happened #nikyanka sighting, actually watch Bohemian Rhapsody to provide thoughts, and grapple with every podcaster's most important QTNA: should we get a twitter? Also we talk about the recent college admissions scandal and the supreme court affirmative action case (spoiler: we're team AA).

Aaand this is our actual Oscars episode. Our bad. This week we swear NOT to become a Jonas Brothers podcast and discuss the Academy awards + upcoming movies featuring brown people that give us pause (Did you know that Rami Malek is not Indian? Did you know that Danny Boyle is also not Indian? Did you also know that Armie Hammer is also also not Indian??) and revisit the most divisive question of our time.

This week we never get to the promised theme, and instead(by popular demand) spend 37 minutes talking about the Jonas Brothers. We discuss stumbling out of bars and jumping on cars, whether or not the JoBros saw the Favourite, and why oh why Priyanka would agree to be in this. Plus, Rabs reveals some shocking news, and we discuss our actual best celeb encounter (#notthebachelor).

So we did it. This week, we take on the "grey area" that is Aziz Ansari. Turns out...it's pretty black and white? We also explain our absence (#sorry), think through the anatomy of car doors, and reveal our most shameful celeb encounter (spoiler: it may or may not involve The Bachelor).

And we'll never be roooooyals (royals) but we sure can burn them down. This week, we take down the monarchy, demand our diamonds back, and spend a hot hot take debating Meghan Markle. Yay or nay? (Spoiler...kind of yay?)

This week, we get political. We discuss browns in politics, trees, #kamala2020, and talk about 2019 like it hasn't even happened yet (our bad). Plus, we dig into our (least) favs who, surprisingly, are still kinda relevant.

We spend half of our Mindy episode on Priyanka and Nick...#sorrynotsorry. Then we get to the point and discuss her spectacular rise, the Mindy Project and who her baby daddy might be (spoiler: he may or may not have 2020 ambitions)

Two very unqualified Desi college friends and self described haters discuss Indians in Pop Culture. We start with the subject that unites us more than anything else: Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas. Yay or nay? (spoiler: NAY.)
