    Episode 010 - Performative Activism and Gay Panic (feat. TooDizi)

    On this episode of the Totally Normal Folks Podcast, the fellas are celebrating pride month! Joined by prominent ally and political content creator/commentator TooDizi, we dunk on Indonesian homophobes and their weird fixation on hating bottoms for no particular reason, reminisce on the glory days of queer Indonesian mainstream media, and discuss why the Indonesian progressive movement needs to be more disciplined. Is a panel of (mostly) cishet dudes the best way to celebrate pride? Probably not! But we're here anyway!

    Episode 009 - The Curious Case of Nadiem Makarim

    Dear audience, have you ever dreamt about contributing your unique knowledge and skillsets, and giving back to your country through public service? No?...oh..uh.. well, IF you wanted to, you should think again! Cause here in Indonesia, that could get you sent to prison. Nadiem Makarim, Ibrahim Arief, and Amsal Sitepu are just some of the high profile figures subjected to Indonesia's kangaroo courts, where logic and reasoning are thrown out the window, and prosecutors grasp at the thinnest of straws. So join the Totally Normal Folks, as we walk you through the cases, discuss what this means for Indonesia's skilled working professionals, and figure out what exactly happened to law and order.

If YOU too want to expand your minds, or if you're keen on hearing some juicy vintage historical gossip, then listen on!

    Episode 004 - 2010s Nostalgia and the Culture That Shaped Gen-Z

    The Totally Normal Folks reflect on the decade that shaped them and many other Gen-Zers; the 2010s. The time of seemingly endless summers, catchy party anthems, and outrageously skinny jeans. As 2010s nostalgia comes back in a big way, we ask the question, why are we already nostalgic for decade that just passed? what did the 2010s mean to us? and does this mean the mustache tattoo on my finger is no longer cringe?
