YAM Not Potatoes Jing, Abby, and Mirae

It’s the last episode of Season 1! We wanted to close it off with impromptu questions we’ve been curious about each other. Put on the spot, we talk about motivations, life decisions, and future hopes. Also, will there be a season 2? Listen to find out.

We’re kicking off our quarterly check-in on things we’re currently into — in other words, things we’re doing besides work and school to keep ourselves entertained. We’ve got calming instrumentals and newtro jams, podcasts and newsletter subscriptions, apple pies and an IKEA chair. If you're looking for new activities to accompany your days, tune in for starch friends' shenanigans.

Super attractive or super rich? Not remember anyone or have no one remember me? Stay in Squid Game or go back to reality?

For this episode, we played a fun game of “This or That”. From life dreams to philosophical ponderings, we tested how well we know each other. Play the game with us!

For this episode, we reflect on our confidence level and how it evolved over the years. We bring it into the context of job hunting and interviews — areas that require a degree of assertiveness and self-promotion. As “podcast hosts”, we also discuss thoughts around sharing our conversations on the internet. How do we sound to you?

We do not dream of labour. We dream of vacation…

These past two years have been a big itch to get out and go for a vacation. From Japan to Iceland, we search our memories to imagine travelling again. In this episode, we discuss our vacation ideals, favourite places, (could-have-been-disastrous) funny travel stories, solo traveling vs. traveling with friends, and our pet peeves. Take a listen to recall your favourite travel memories with us!

We’ve dived into the world of ASMR, specifically cooking ASMR featuring yam (not potatoes) but with a twist. We each took on the challenge to cook a dish made of yam and listened to each other’s sounds to guess what we were cooking up. We also talk kitchen struggles and proudest moments, while figuring out what yam really is.
