Best Buds Best Buds

In this episode, we're joined by one of our loyal fans, Tesia! We reflect on our sophomore year, discussing what we learned, how we grew, and some of our best memories. As always, feel free to send us your thoughts and remember to follow our instagram @pod.bestbuds!

Welcome back to a very exciting episode! June 15th marked our podcast's one-year anniversary (but Isha, being the incompetent editor that she is, did not upload it until one whole week later hahaha). Anyways, it's still the 50th episode, so I still call it a win. Tune in as we recap our year together, reminisce on past episodes, and talk about where we want this podcast to go in the future. Thank you to everyone who has listened to us so far! 

This week, we bring on TWO very special guests- Sruthi and Kavya! Both are members of the South Asian Student Association (SASA) at UMD, and after hearing Kavya's workshop on the caste system in the fall, we wanted to bring them on to learn even more! Definitely a very insightful conversation, and spreading awareness is just the first step! 

EDIT: Clarification from Kavya- in regards to the Syrian Christians, we say the "history goes" about Brahmin families converting. However, this is a story that is perpetuated by the community, but isn't necessarily the true origin of the community. 

In this not-so-minisode, Callie brings on Sarah! again! to just chat and catch up on life. We really just recorded one of our FaceTime calls essentially, and we're uploading past midnight so it's not a Tuesday anymore, but at least school is over and it's summer time! 

In yet another minisode, this week Clarissa rereads an essay that she wrote the day she moved home from college and reflects on how her feelings have changed since then. We hope everyone's finals season is going well! Go follow @pod.bestbuds for updates and beautiful graphics.

Welcome back! In true finals fashion we have a very short (but hopefully enjoyable) minisode where Isha talks about Omakase and other things. Remember to follow our instagram @pod.bestbuds and we'll see you in the next one!
