| 4/23/21 | #10 - In Dialogue with Ira Mukhoty, author of books on amazing Indian women from the Mughal era and beyond | To quote Veda, "double digits, baby!" We are in dialogue with author Ira Mukhoty, who has written about amazing Indian women in history, including the queens and empresses of the Mughal Empire. We talk to her about her book Daughters of the Sun and how the colonial Orientalist gaze has given us a lopsided view of the women from the Mughal period — and why she refuses to use the word 'harem'. She breaks our hearts about the beloved Akbar and Birbal (yes, Jodhaa Akbar also comes up). But she also shows us how desi women have been denied the stories of powerful role models, and how she's changing that narrative. We also talk about her upcoming book Song of Draupadi, which will feature the strong women of the Mahabharata. | 1h 15m 35s | |
| 4/9/21 | #9 - Cricket in the US, the origin of filter coffee, and a desi man who was America’s first celebrity chef | We explore the rich history of cricket in North America and how the first ever cricket match in the world was between US and Canada. We also talk about some of our personal favorite cricket moments. We take a deep dive into the history of filter coffee and how it became inextricably linked with caste in South India. And finally, we talk about America’s first celebrity chef, a charismatic young man of Indian descent by the name of J. Ranji Smile. He was allegedly responsible, among other things, for teaching the women of America how to properly cook rice. Find detailed notes on our episode page! | 1h 12m 28s | |
| 3/25/21 | #8 - India's first car, a South Asian goes viral in 1950s America, and the story of a South African snack | In this episode, we take a dive into the history of the first car manufactured in India and how it became the "king of the Indian roads." We talk about Kuldip Rae Singh, an Indian student in the US who became famous in 1950s America after he stole the show on national television. Finally, our food thing for this episode is the history of South Africa's favorite snack, bunny chow and its connection to South Asia. Intrigued? Find show notes, pictures, and more on our episode page! | 56m 17s | |
| 3/11/21 | #7 - In Dialogue with Beth Watkins (@bethlovesbolly), Bollywood blogger, expert and general film enthusiast | Our second in the “In Dialogue” series! Our guest for this week is Beth Watkins, a museum professional and popular Bollywood blogger and film enthusiast. She goes by @bethlovesbolly on Twitter. Beth is a treasure trove of film trivia and Bollywood films in general. We talk to her about how she got into Bollywood, what you should watch if you want to start watching Bollywood films, and we play our “Guess the inspiration” game with her. But most importantly, we talk about her amazing Bollywood family trees — the Kapoors, the Mukherjees, and many others — in which she finds links between several big Bollywood families and dynasties. Also, Satyajit Ray. As always, show notes and references are on our website. | 44m 36s | |
| 2/25/21 | #6 - The origins of Indo-Chinese food, Punjabi-Mexicans, and an Indian spy who fought the Nazis | We look at the origin of Indo-Chinese food and how it is so different from native Chinese cuisines.
