Cultured, or Nah?
Find us on Instagram: @culturedornah. A podcast about understanding the truisms inherent in desiness. We (probably) talk about the stuff your mom and dad won't. Ever been curious about what South Asians in other countries are like - or why they might actually be different from you? Ever wondered about the increasing role of the South Asian American electorate, or about why we're seeing more brown faces in mainstream media today? Perhaps you've even wondered why you've been born into a religious identity when it seems our non-desi peers don't have the same experience. Join us as we discuss these and other topics, and dive deep into the root causes of why things are the way they are. We won't always have the answers, but we do love to discuss it!

Episode 10
Bollywood, our parents' marriages, Disney movies, Hollywood - all of it would have been enough to throw us into a doozy. How did you think about love and dating growing up? What has changed for you, and what do you hope for now? In this episode, Shabnum sits down with fellow podcasters Lahari Rao (of Down to Brown podcast) and Mitali Dargani (of Brown Game Strong podcast) and the three compare their childhoods, influence of their parents' relationships, what they saw in the media, and the impact of their relatives' perceptions and relationships on their conceptions of love both growing up and now. Travel with us as we talk about our childhoods, our teenage years, our twenties, and how we think about love/relationships now!
