Episode 67 - Geordie Gerbil (Connections To The Motherland)

For this week's show, we look at our connections to the Motherland... how much are we really connected to them? After watching 'Go Back To Where You Came From' on the BBC, we look at the hypothetical scenario of having to move back to India, and the cultural differences that may arise. We discuss our past trips there, and look at the three main factors connecting us - the country, the culture, the people. Listen in!

Episode 66 - Swexit (Are Asians Relevant In UK Culture?)

After a two week break, we're back to London to deliver a new episode of The Native Immigrants! Jyojo B is on hosting duty today, as we look back on A Suitable Boy and ask was it worth the hype? This week's main topic is a revisitation of one of our early topics, as we ask if Asians are relevant in UK Culture? In a packed discussion, we talk in length by addressing three key subject areas - Support, Segregation and the System, and ask if we're not relevant, is this our fault or theirs? Listen in!

Episode 63 - Whipped Ganache (The N-Word & The P-Word)

For this week's show, we look at two very divisive words in UK Society... The N-Word and The P-Word. With the BBC defending their decision to air two shows containing the N-Word in the past week, we look at the potential ramifications and how our own community would react if the same happened with the P-Word.

Episode 62 - Instant Gratification (Indian Matchmaking, A Suitable Boy)

With the two most talked about shows currently amongst our community, A Suitable Boy and Indian Matchmaking, in full swing, we decide to look in detail into both shows. With mixed receptions for both, we ask how much representation these shows need to reflect for our community, and whether they are detrimental to aspects of our culture. Listen in, as we dissect both shows, looking into misogyny, casteism, colourism and stereotypes... with some controversial viewpoints!
