    Episode 17: Joy Bangla! (Why Identity is Important)
    2021/03/27
    In this episode I reflect on Bangladesh independence day and the country turning 50 years old and recent discussions and thoughts I’ve had on my own identity as a mixed kid trying to balance two cultures. Identity is something worth exploring, it’s the story of how you exist! Poem at the end by Humayun Azad, Bangla poet and writer. Some interesting stories and links to find out more about Bangladeshi independence and contemporary issues of Bangladesh: http://www.virtualbangladesh.com/the-basics/history-of-bangladesh/independence/history-war-independence/ - An overview of the liberation war, genocide and fallout of the Bangladesh Liberation War https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-56485667 - Bangladesh at 50: Why climate change could destroy my ancestral home https://www.amnesty.org/en/countries/asia-and-the-pacific/bangladesh/report-bangladesh/ - The state of human rights in Bangladesh in 2019

    Episode 15: It’s okay to be Selfish when you’re Suffering
    2021/02/14
    A quick thought while I recover from illness about our current situation and how it’s okay to focus on your own problems. We have a weird relationship with the word selfish, it’s dirty and wrong, but sometimes I think we would benefit from being more selfish. Don’t get lost in the numbers and statistics, your problems and feelings matter. Oh, and happy Valentines day!

    Episode 10: Radical Politics with Connor
    2020/09/22
    Today I talk to my good friend Connor, a Welsh man living in the United States. We talk about what he misses from home, the differences in people and politics, social media… And well so much more. This one’s a hoot and I loved recording it, I talked way too much but sometimes you have friends who just help you connect the dots and talk all kinds of whacky ideas, Connor is that guy!
