The Native Immigrants

Episode 18 - Juju Rotis (Women Empowerment, Are Men Supporting Women To Achieve Greatness?)

WARNING - EXPLICIT LANGUAGE USED. Back from a weekend of weddings, falls and meltdowns, The Native Immigrants are back to discuss those and many other points in this week's show. Jyojo B ran solo on radio last week with her appearance on BBC Asian Network's Ladies Panel, we discuss that together with recent entertainment items including Riz Ahmed, Nadiya's Family Favourites and ask the question - Where are all the asians on Love Island? This week's big topic is Women Empowerment. The female empowerment movement has seen a lot of women show support to one another. Glass ceilings are being broken and women are shattering them all over the place. It's a new age for women. However, while women are supporting women, where are the men? Are men really supporting their partners achieve greatness and be the best version of themselves? If not, what's holding them back?

Episode 17 - Monkey's Blood (Legendary British Asian Traits)

WARNING - EXPLICIT LANGUAGE USED. As we melt away during this intense heatwave of the most un-British of British summers, your favourite opinionated couple somehow manage to string a few sentences together with this week's new episode. With their appearance in an article in last week's Eastern Eye newspaper, Swami Baracus and Jyojo B discuss the topic of that article during this show... legendary British Asian traits. Those within our communities will almost certainly relate to some if not all of these... those outside of our communities will almost certainly ridicule some if not all of these. So if your freezer's also full of ice-cream tubs filled with coriander, then this is the show for you!

Episode 16 - James Bondh (Charities and Volunteer Work)

WARNING - EXPLICIT LANGUAGE USED. The World Cup is over... and while the tears still haven't dried in the Baracus household, they did manage to sum up the courage to record this week's podcast. It didn't come home... but Donald Trump unfortunately did. They chat over his visit to the UK, as well as reminisce over the old Saturday mornings on BBC2, where British Asians would sit glued to their sets watching Mahabharata, Network East, Bollywood or Bust and more! This week’s main topic is Charities and Volunteer Work. Having recently watched The Street Food Servants, a documentary about West London based charity SWAT, the Native Immigrants look back over their own past experiences doing charity work and what more we could all do to help the less fortunate.

Episode 13 - Samba vs Chocolate (Asian Fathers)

WARNING - EXPLICIT LANGUAGE USED.

With Father’s Day this past week, they discuss Asian Fathers in general, shining a positive light on a generation of people who have received both good and bad publicity in recent years. They discuss their differing experiences with their Dads, and how the generational and cultural divide has an effect on their relationships both in the past and going forward.
