  • Nothing Makes Sense — Arj Barker’s Okay With That

    Nothing Makes Sense — Arj Barker’s Okay With That
    May 15 2025
    In his show, The Mind Field, Arj Barker turns grief and neuroscience into stand-up that asks the big questions — about existence, consciousness, and what we’ll probably never figure out. He joins SBS Spice host Dilpreet Kaur Taggar to talk about how the sudden loss of a friend pushed those questions to the surface, and why some jokes are best retired to a peaceful farm. Also on the table: why AI can’t touch live comedy, why cancel culture isn’t keeping him up at night, and why bread metaphors always rise to the top. Listen now, wherever you get your podcasts.

  • Saman Shad: Sex, Shame and the Stories We Don't Tell

    Saman Shad: Sex, Shame and the Stories We Don't Tell
    May 14 2025
    We’re having sex, getting married, getting divorced — so why are we still not talking about it? Author Saman Shad joins Suhayla Sharif to talk about what happens when we finally do. Her new novel Sex Lives of Married Women lays bare the weight of being good daughters, model migrants, and women taught to want less. From 90s rom-com nostalgia to the strength of female friendships, Shad unpacks how colonialism and patriarchy have shaped how we think (or don't) about pleasure. A brave, funny, and moving conversation about intimacy, friendship, and the freedom to want. Listen wherever you get your podcasts.

  • Yashith Fernando: From DDLJ to MJ the Musical

    Yashith Fernando: From DDLJ to MJ the Musical
    May 12 2025
    Before taking to the stage, Yashith Fernando fell in love with musical theatre the same way most South Asians have— Bollywood. Now having found his own rhythm, the Sri Lankan-Australian actor has performed for audiences Shakespeare to Smooth Criminal to the beat of his own tune. His latest role in MJ the Musical has him wielding a camera as Alejandro, but Suhayla Sharif shifts the lens on Yashith in this chat at the Sydney Lyric Theatre that lifts the curtains on being South Asian under stage lights. Listen wherever you find your podcasts.
