    Two Cultures, One Love

    Love can be the answer to many of our world's conundrums but also the root of many contradictions. For South Asians, it can often come at a cost. Whilst it is widely believed that love is unconditional, barriers like race, religion, caste and culture often draw a fine line between acceptance and rejection. SBS Spice loves love, so this episode celebrates the journeys of three Australian couples who together foster the connection that unites them rather than the obstacles that divide them.

    Anupam Sharma and the Rise of Indian Film in Australia

    Why launch an Indian film festival in Australia? Filmmaker Anupam Sharma wants us to think beyond Bollywood. Having spent decades bringing Indian stories to Australian screens—including directing 'UnIndian' starring Brett Lee and Tannishtha Chatterjee—he’s now launching the National Indian Film Festival of Australia (NIFFA). As India and Australia’s ties grow across trade, politics, and culture, NIFFA adds a new dimension—one told through film. Debuting Feb 13 – Mar 2 with partners like Dendy and NDTV, NIFFA is Australia’s first national Indian film festival. Dilpreet Taggar invites Sharma to the studio to dive deeper. Listen wherever you get your podcasts.

    Love is not in the air anymore; it’s on the apps. In this episode, we dive into the modern quest for connection through online dating. Hear from those who’ve found love, others who’ve been burned and sworn off swiping, and some who wrestle with stereotypes yet persist. How long should you wait to respond? What warrants an unmatch? Who deserves a second chance? The rules shift every day. So, with plenty of fish in the sea, why are Australians struggling to swim?

    Turban On, Anthem in the Air: Getting Ready for India vs Australia

    How do Indians prepare for the epic clash between India and Australia?

This conversation delves into what it truly means to 'get ready' for a match—not just for the game, but for the emotions, the history, and the collective heartbeat that pulses through millions as they unite to cheer for their team.
