Two Brown Girls episodes

  • Love is Blind

    Don’t turn a blind eye to the final episode of this season of Two Brown Girls, because we are talking about the hit Netflix reality show, Love is Blind.


    As this episode was recorded in October of 2023 and season 5 and 6 of LIB had not been released yet, we focus on the couples from seasons 2 to 4. But this episode is still incredibly juicy, as we talk about our favourite couples from those seasons and the ones that had our mouths dropping in shock. We also chat about managing different beliefs, values, and communication styles within relationships.


    So if you are a viewer of the show, make sure to tune in to this episode and share your thoughts with us!


    It has been an absolute blast creating these video podcasts for season 3 and we hope you all enjoyed watching them. But connecting with us does not end here, please make sure to check us out on social media:

  • Religious and Cultural Pressures

    What came first...the chicken or the egg? Culture or Religion? It's a difficult question to answer, yet we attempt to explore such a topic in this final episode of season 2. 

    We chat about the religious and cultural pressures and barriers we have faced. We also discuss the conflation of culture and religion and the inappropriate use of religion to justify various forms of discrimination (e.g., the stigma around periods, queerphobia, and casteism). 

    While this is no light sign-off to our second season, we hope this episode and this season have instigated thought and conversation for our listeners as it has for us. Please do share your feedback with us via our Instagram @twobrowngirlsau.

    Thank you so much for being on this journey with us throughout season 2. It's been an absolute blast!

  • Love and Family

    Love comes in so many forms, it can be shown through a long hug, a compliment, or the cutting of fruit after an argument. 

    In this episode, we chat about the different variations of love, specifically familial love. 

    We share our personal results on the love languages quiz and discuss how love is expressed within South Asian families. We also talk about the pressures of getting married and having children, and whether this comes from a place of love and care. So join us as we unpack the mammoth topic of love and family.

  • Colourism within the South Asian community

    "Fair and lovely"? What a gimmick. A massive part of the beauty industry that thrives off of self hate in South Asia is the skin bleaching or whitening industry. This episode delves deeper into colourism within the South Asian community, the challenges we've faced and what we hope to see change. We discuss all this and more alongside anti-colourism activist and author, Shweta Agarwal.

  • LGBTQIA+ experiences within the South Asian community

    Being a member of the LGBTQIA+ community and navigating South Asian society is a challenge for many, and it's about time we heard more about it. 

    In this episode, we chat with three lovely guests who shed light on their personal experiences being LGBTQIA+ and South Asian. Our guests share important insights into the queerphobia present within the South Asian community and society as a whole. They offer invaluable advice to those currently struggling with their sexuality and/or gender identity. We also learn about how we can show better support and allyship for individuals who identify as LGBTQIA+.
