The Sambal Pod

Hey Malaysia! Welcome back to our new series, Sembang Sambal! We know we can get pretty serious at our usual episodes(rightfully so) but we wanna use this series as a chance to have more chill sessions. I will be having talks with my teammates on pretty chill topics.  In this series ,you'll get the chance to discover the REAL CRAZY us! We'll not do this series consistently so we might just release this during any seasons or breaks! And we felt it so fitting to release our first sesh that I had with K,  TSP's researcher and the genius behind our #sambalcares content series on Instagram! Tune in as we talked about how 2020 treated us! This is a very short conversation so stay tuned for Part 2 next Wed! 

Now's the time to discover these mysterious people behind TSP's work! Don't miss out and tune in!

Are Sabah and Sarawak really a part of Malaysia? Do they use the same RM currency? Are their food good? Are Borneo people similar to the Orang Asal communities in Malaysia? How much do we especially the "Semenanjung"(West Malaysians) know about our neighbours who share the same home only to be separated by the South China Sea. Tune in as I had an awesome chit chat with Wesley Hilton, the talented artist behind Borneo Dolls ( yes peeps,we finally have our own Malaysian version of Barbie Dolls!). Totally missing out if you don't!

What is 4C "pulak"? 21st century learning....but nope not like one of your typical motivational talks in school!  In this episode, Arisya and Husna, two public uni students at Malaysia joined me and shared about this simple techniques that is not only relatable to us, youths but everyone else as well! Can 4C's make you into a CEO? Can 4C's make you better thinkers? Was 4C's the answers to answering all those Higher Order Thinking Skills(HOTS) NIGHTMARISH questions in your exams? You'll never know till you tune in! 

Another chill sesh talking about serious topics in a fun way! Tune in as I speak with Adeline,the founder of this social platform and we  talked about how important and relatable this topic actually is. It's not some far-fetched factual topic as how we think of it to be! We sidetracked a bit to also speaking about the toxicity of social media as the side effect of consumerism.(I probably enjoyed speaking about that a lil too much do tell on Insta if you wanna a specific episode only on socmed alone!) Overall,it was a good session where we talked,laughed and also emphasized on how important it is to make this small changes to be sustainable as well! Do we need to consume certain brands in order to be environmentally conscious? You'll never know till you go listenlah!

How do we console our friends or family experiencing this? How long is it okay to stay not okay? How to move on from this permanent change? Tune in! And remember,it's always okay to be honest about your emotions and not be okay,we just need to find our own ways to continue rising from it!

Such a delicate topic and yeah one of my most challenging episodes so far! Tune in as we discuss about what grief really is and why is so important to normalise these talks. Do get your tissues ready as we are going to get personal and spicy like our Sambal!!

Fun fact,I have never laughed so much in an episode! Join me and the one and only Pratham Golcha as we further discussed about the raw truths,the sweetness and flaws of growing up Asian. This is not a conversation to prove how great Asians are, we are here to discuss honest truths. Check us out!

Are we a bunch of species not knowing to live life cause our cultures are so steeped in traditions? Are we still stuck in third-world mentalities compared to the Westerners? Are we all a bunch of kids with strict parents dominating our lives? How is it growing up as Asians actually? You'll never know unless you tune in!! 

We continue more girly talk as we dived into Sharifah's and Hanan's friendship and how they used their friendship to maneuver this new podcast journey they had started on!  Tune in to see Hanan being the female version of Jay Shetty and we all saying "Marie Kondo" in unison at the end! We sure had our fun so listen in to join in the excitement!!

The most relatable episode ever! Tune in as I had a lil chit chat with these two kakaks,Sharifah and Hanan as they told me the reason behind starting their podcast. They also shared some stories about the ups and downs of this rollercoaster journey that they decided to embark on!!  In fact,we had so much fun till we have a Part 2! Tune in for some juicy and informational pointers about the raw truth of not only being podcasters but only about trying to love yourself in this hectic journey!
