Yet Another Couple Podcast episodes

  • You’re not inefficient, you’re human

    On a slow midweek evening, with brains on low battery, Sohini and Rijul decide to make some pasta and chat some nonsense into the mic. Trigger Warning: anti-protein hate speech. Condiment corner is a SE Asia green delight.

  • Mauritius special: Are we resort people now? (Spoiler: No)

    Welcome! In this episode, Sohini and Rijul are recording on the beach in Mauritius. Something about the island atmosphere sees them focus on memories of family holidays past (good and not so good), the vibe of being in a resort-style hotel for the first time since their adolescence, and Sohini's brother's most inopportune vomits abroad. Condiment corner is a local Mauritian favourite with a distinctly Bangali feel...

  • Meditations on masculinity in the wake of the manosphere

    Walk with us from Borough to Shoreditch as we reflect on the new Louis Theroux documentary. We discuss what it means to be manly as seen through a South Asian lens, our perceptions of masculinity over the years as shaped by our world, and whether there maybe (sometimes) ((ocasionally)) is a place for Blue and Pink jobs at home 👀 enjoy! and please get in touch at [email protected] for any questions, comments or shout-out requests for the next pod.

  • We're back! Lessons from our twenties and a forest walk

    Welcome to a new season of Yet Another Couple Podcast, brought to you by Sohini and Rijul. Back after a five year hiatus, this week's episode sees us reflect about the advent of moving between decades, into our thirties. Interwoven with our meditations on the relentless marching of time, we also manage to talk about menswear, skincare, matching pyjama sets and the first time we felt like grown-ups. If you like what you hear, please send us an email! We're at [email protected] and always happy to answer any questions on the pod!

  • Episode 10: The case for dining out
    In an open love letter to dining out, Sohini and Rijul explore some of their seminal food memories outside of the home environment. They'll also briefly touch on the cultural institutions of certain take away foods, but ultimately come to roost with the idea that nothing better exists than a meal experienced in its intended setting. Condiment corner is a homemade, fresh staple of Latin food across the world.

  • Episode 9: What does spicy even mean?
    This week we're talking all things SPICE. Turns out, there is more to a dish than how "spicy" it is. Also turns out what we mean by "spicy" barely scratches the surface of the flavours our tongues experience. We'll head down memory lane with a few of our capsaicin encounters. Condiment corner shows the Maggi corporation some love.

  • Episode 8: Are recipes ruining our intuition?
    This week, after a brief hiatus, Sohini and Rijul are back doing what they do best: writing episode descriptions in the third person for some reason, and discussing food. They tackle the concept of "the recipe", address our over-reliance on them and advocate for a more mindful, creative approach to making your dinners, whilst also making a case for why the world needs its plethora of cookbooks. Condiment corner slaps hard with the definitive Bengali street food sidekick.

  • Episode 7: the new-age doctor influencer and why we have a problem
    Do YOU have a doctor thing in your insta handle? Have YOU thought about how you are using the prestige of said medical platform to influence those around you? Maybe you have. Maybe you're an influencer. This week we delve into the cracks and crevices of medical social blogging and why there comes with it a degree of responsibility... condiment corner showcases a lesser-used umami cupboard legend

  • Epusode 6: What even is British-Indian food and why is everything curry?
    This week, Sohini and Rijul strive to untangle the origins, nuances and cultural roles of British-Indian and Indian cuisine, providing their views on why they should be considered separate entities. Bonus content: can you guess which host was affectionately known as "curry muncher" at school? Condiment corner gets Sohini weak at the knees and considering a sauce overdose.

  • Episode 5: What's your mother tongue?
    This week Sohini and Rijul talk about how we learn to talk, and in doing so attempt to pry open the deep Pandora's box of neurodevelopmental linguistics without any expertise to qualify them to do so. They'll talk about growing up multilingual, address the concept of the mother tongue, and briefly discuss some of the scientific theories underpinning our language-learning brains. Condiment corner is a home-made version of a Japanese supermarket mainstay.
