    Not Quite Sheltered | Liberation Over Lululemon, The Real Essence Of Jainism, And Being Afraid Of Your Parents…But Doing It Anyway

    In this episode, Aneri and solo performer, dancer, and actress Mayuri Bhandari talk about growing up sheltered in a Jain household, navigating cultural appropriation in Western yoga spaces, and what it means to separate dogma from the actual essence of your spirituality. They also get into creating solo theater, the fear of disappointing Brown parents, and how they found each other on a Holi dance floor when nobody else was dancing.  Follow @theantiyogishow on Instagram to get tickets for her next showing of "The Anti-Yogi" (premiered at Edinburgh Fringe in 2025).  You can follow her other creative work @mayuribhandariofficial.

    Not Quite Amanda Knox | Women's Stories, Masturbating in Prison, and Meditation

    Amanda Knox hangs with Aneri Shah and talks about what really happened in Italy, how the world spun it into an orgy that wasn't real, and what it takes to forgive your persecutors (and yourself). We cover slut-shaming, metta-meditation, masturbating in prison, and asking your male friends for baby juice. You know, all the regular bases when it comes to true crime. In a first-of-it's-kind beyond the headlines episode, we get to see who Amanda Knox truly is. Not quite a former prisoner or sexual deviant. Just a girl.  Tune in. Hang with us.

    Titty Milk, Past Lives, and Stripper Songs

    Queer Girl Stuff, Post-Egg Drop Clarity, and That Indian-Mormon Crossover

    And through it all, they couldn’t help but wonder. How did two girls from conservative Indian and Mormon upbringings end up here? From blurting out “I’m gay” post–egg freezing to full-blown postpartum ego death, Aneri goes deep with Whitney Uland (a life coach for celebrities—yes, really) on queerness, abortion and postpartum as strategy tests, and what you gain (and lose!!!) from breaking the f*ck open and away from their OG communities.

    Universe Builders, Permissionless Leverage, and Your Cheeky AI Clone

    Sometimes, your AI clone will get better gigs. That's just how it be sometimes. In this unique episode, I dive deep with Parth Patil—AI innovator behind Reid Hoffman's viral avatar—to yap about how writers (with our big, chaotic imaginations) are poised to become the next universe builders, why multidimensional storytelling is the new wave, and how as neurodivergent weirdos, we finally feel unsevered in the new world. Bye old world (but maybe we'll keep a few lil scraps). Cue excitement, a little existential dread, and all of the contradictory things that make us mushy humanssss. Welcome to Not Quite.
