  • Indo Warehouse: Turning House music into a home

    Indo Warehouse: Turning House music into a home
    Sep 23 2025
    Born in the 1980s on dancefloors built by people of colour, house music has always been about belonging. In 2022, Armaan Gupta (Kahani) and Kunal Merchant asked: where is that space for South Asian house? From that question came 'Indo Warehouse', a collective and label bringing the pulse of the subcontinent into global electronica. Ahead of their second Australian tour, they sit down with Suhayla Sharif to talk about why nostalgia hits harder on the dancefloor and the set their fans dubbed "Indochella", a nickname that may hint at where this movement is heading.

  • Father’s Day Special: Being the ultimate girl dad

    Father’s Day Special: Being the ultimate girl dad
    Sep 5 2025
    We love girl dads. And Saesha's dad fits the bill a little too perfectly. For this Father's Day, she bribes him with a Yo-Chi to jump on the pod and spill his secret to surviving three women in the house. It's a little scary, he admits. Dr Sanjaya Senanayake is one of Australia's most recognised health experts who has often embarrassed his family on national TV with his "jokes". We're certain he is a big deal but for this episode, he is just a dad (and also our official Spice Girl). Listen now, only on SBS Spice.

  • Is Bollywood Back?

    Is Bollywood Back?
    Aug 19 2025
    Can obsessive, all-or-nothing love still hold Bollywood’s box office? Suhayla and Dilpreet ask if the success of 'Saiyaara' signals a comeback for Indian cinema’s big, messy love stories. And maybe what Bollywood really needs to feel alive again are the very clichés we once rolled our eyes at: the slow-mo shots, the airport chases, the kind of drama only Bollywood can pull off and we secretly never stopped loving.
