Episode notes

In this episode of the British Asian - Other Podcast [BAO], Mithun (he/him) joins me to ask the question Asian families don't tend to: why don't we talk about how we feel?

In just over half an hour, we get into the strange contradiction at the heart of South Asian culture. The cinema full of love stories. The lived reality of arranged marriages and quiet grief. The joke culture we inherit: funny, sharp, often loving and sometimes cuts deeper than we admit. And we end on Mithun’s thoughts: on Kendrick, art, and whether any of it can actually move us.
