Behind The Screen: Introductions, Movies & Podcasting

Usha & Rekha Season 1

On our very first “behind-the-screen” bonus episode, we talk movies, podcasting, and how we became friends in the first place despite hating almost everything at first sight.

Jokes aside, we really did want to take a chance to reflect on our podcasting journey so far, re-introduce ourselves to our audience as well as dig into why we started this podcast and its origins. 

As two queer brown feminists from different South Asian countries, we hoped to bring an intersectional lens to our critique and discussion of our media.

If Keeping Up With The Kardashians can help us understand Baudrillard, then why can’t Kuch Kuch Hota Hain help us learn some queer theory?

This podcast is the culmination of years of conversations that we’ve had. It is our attempt to create a framework through which to analyze our media and recognize its roles in our own ideas and those of people around us.

Our podcast has definitely been a labor of love and learning throughout this journey and we’ve both been thankful to have this space to grow and evolve as we try to bring our idea to life.

This was us! Stay tuned for our next episode, out in two weeks!
