This week the Trash Trio is playing Truth or Drink as an excuse to get drunk without looking like useless drunkards. This is also the last episode in 2020. 'Tis has been short of impossible to pull through because The Trash Trio were still hounded by work even though it's already the end of December. Nevertheless, we persevere and we made this episode, aptly released on 31 December 2020. Yay?

Thank you for sticking around with us in 2020.
This week the Trash Trio discuss about audiobooks, whether it's considered the same as reading a physical book or not, what we hope to experience when going into the audiobook, and how actually the experience of audiobook is for the Trash Trio.
--
This week unfortunately the Trash Trio has no book recommendations, but we are still recommend y'all to stay home and read, if it's really unnecessary for y'all to be outside during the pandemic.
--
Stick around for episode 26, because The Trash Trio is planning for something fun in commemoration of 2020 coming to an end. It's not the final episode yet, we think.
The Trash Trio is back! This week we admit that we are just a bunch of introverted hipster who are so mad at people for thinking that reading books is not a valid hobby. dilchh is also complaining about her bad experience with a psychiatrist. Echoed by Lin's awful experience with her psychologist. And, RAM is being a true and tested RAM with all his pretentiousness.
--
This week dilchh is recommending her top books from this year, Bad Blood by John Carreyrou, Ten Women by Marcela Serrano, A False Report by T. Christian Miller and Ken Armstrong, The Romanovs by Simon Sebag Montefiore, and Circe by Madeline Miller.
This week on The Trash Trio is Reading: Lin recalls her childhood memories of having a Poldy the Scarecrow as her favourite book character from childhood. dilchh loves the sound of foreign languages she doesn't speak to be her white noise whilst she's reading. RAM wanted an extra 10 minutes in day just to read book (which tells a lot about how little time he spent to read a book in a day).
--
Notable mention from this episode: Hello, Poldy! by World Book, Inc.
--
Lin and dilchh shared their ghost stories in commemoration of Halloween of this year. Tbh, the greatest scary stories they could possible experienced is probably adulthood itself.
This week on The Trash Trio is Reading: dilchh and Lin are fangirling over Claire North's and Melissa Broder's books, whilst RAM (as always) is still being fancy and strangely very eloquent in explaining why Minke from This Earth of Mankind by Pramoedya Ananta Toer is his favourite character.

Honestly, this was the most productive episode the Trash Trio had ever done. We talked about embracing the joy of reading a book without worrying about how others actually enjoy the same book. We also tried to get all serious in giving some social commentaries in correlation to Claire North's books. Other topics in this episode includes talking about dilchh and Lin's depression and anxiety issues. Welp.
This week on The Trash Trio is reading: Lin talks about a book she has yet to finished because it's feels too gossipy for a non fiction book; dilchh shares her favourite picture book, and RAM is staying true to being the fancy pants that he is with his favourite book cover.

The Trash Trio actually talked a lot about the many types of zodiacs that exist (outside the Western and Chinese zodiac), and they see how it matches with their actual personality. Unfortunately the recording turned weird, so we'll have to postponed it until next episode.

dilchh is super distracted in this episode, because she's been having anxiety issues. Also the bad quality recording on dilchh's part is totally her fault. Seriously, dilchh's recording is so bad this episode. Will fix it for the next episode.
--
Also, RAM and Lin is becoming friends more so than ever.
This week The Trash Trio is sharing their hair salon horror story (failed haircuts and whatnot) whilst also reminiscing about the good old days when Steve from accounting was jamming with the rest of the buff dudes from 98 degrees. Honorable mention goes to 5566, if you know them, then you just know them. Oh, but we also talked about books and whatnot; from hopeful book adaptation to being angry about what books one should read according to some famous person. Like, no, dilchh is not having it.

Notable mention in this episode are as follow: The Sister of My Heart, by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, Trail of Broken Wings, by Sejal Badani, The Namesake, by Jhumpa Lahiri, and Pretty Girls, by Karen Slaughter, if you're into some family saga stories. The last one is more thriller though.

Guys! First ever episode recorded in Jakarta after three years of being away from Indonesia! This week, the Trash Trio is discussing about popular books that RAM and dilchh hate, also deceased authors Lin wants to spend time with. RAM is also getting a scolding for throwing shade to Narnia, which resulted in him being forced to partake on the Narnia series read along which will take place later in January 2021 (hopefully something to look forward to in these strange times).
