Hey Coconuts,

In this episode we continue with our theme of February being Black History Month. We take a trip to Harlem '89 to discuss and learn more about the atrocities that befell the Central Park Five now known as the Exonerated Five. Reeling from all of this we also watched Malcolm and Marie thinking it would be a cute story of romance but were shocked to learn that it was one of the most toxic relationships seen on screen. Not going to lie, we are both glad we are self partnered. Also we are being very blunt, the internet in the Middle East was very spastic and has become the bane of this podcast's existence. 

PS. When Meral says "Yusuf joined the Muslim Brotherhood in Juvie" this means the Muslim Boys in Juvie not ISIS.

Hey Coconuts, 

Today we take a trip back to the 1960s where interracial marriage was considered a sin and treated like a felony. Last week we spoke of how Atticus's character is an inspiration to generations, but today we want to introduce Richard and Mildred Loving. Their characters and personalities dealt with calamity with a calm approach. Their polite perseverance lead to policy changes impacting not one, not two but 15 states! 

We hope you enjoy our discussion on the Loving vs. Virginia case and the acutely accurate movie adaption Loving released in 2016. We also talk about love and how we view it, along with how some of our lovely coconuts define it.

PS. The internet all over the Middle East was cranky so forgive us for the random pauses and static noises. We tried our best to edit it out.

Hey coconuts, 

For everyone that knows us, knows that at some point we have tried to get you to read To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee! In high school, we were lucky enough to read it alongside our peers with a phenomenal English teacher. The impact of the book has followed us throughout our lives. We hope to recreate some magic with the next edition of Unscripted Musings, and what better time to do this than Black History Month! We hope you guys enjoy diving into Atticus’s mind and everything we loved, appreciated and learnt in Harper Lee’s beautifully crafted masterpiece.

Hey Coconuts,

I hope you're ready for a third edition of Saman and Meral's  journey. We decided to take a tour of the 1800s to the society of the elites, and check out the Diamond of the First Water or as we know her, Daphne Bridgerton. However, she was not the only sight for sore eyes. Sir Simon was quite a delight to meet and learn from!

Netflix's Bridgerton was not at all a cringe binge but something to enjoy while thinking of how it is relatable even three centuries later.  

PS. While touring we tried to make sure little to no demonic voices followed us. Enjoy!

Hey coconuts, 

I hope you are ready for our second instalment of Meral and Saman talking. In this episode we go over the Netflix show Indian Matchmaking, we share some of our own opinions along with some of our personal experiences with this sort of thing. Personally we believe that the matchmaking process has become a rite of passage for South Asian women. This is a relatively heavier episode and might be triggering for some ladies, but just know that you are not alone. 

P.S: A ghost like echo might still be heard in the background, please ignore it. we hadn't acquired the right podcast gear but we are slowly getting there.
