2 Brownish Girls 2 Brownish Girls

Correction: We incorrectly mentioned Girls Generation in Korean slang is SNSD, however that is not slang and is the abbreviated format of their name in Korean which is 소녀시대 (Romanized: Sonyeo Sidae)  We apologize for this error.

With this year being the final year of the 2 Brownish Girls podcast, we've decided to also discuss topics we're interested in that's linked to our community. Talica is joined by her brother Mo and friends of the podcast, sisters Allua and Lili to discuss one of their favourite topics ever - K-pop, specifically discussing the correlation between Korean pop music and Pacific Islanders, with a lot of our community being K-pop stans and also famous Pasifika dance choreographers such as Parris Goebel who have worked with Big Bang, 2NE1, CL and Taeyang and Sienna Lalau who has worked with BTS.  We discuss the positive impact K-pop has had in our lives, our earliest memories of it, our favourite groups and choreography and also if we were idols, which agency would we sign with. Join us for this fun filled K-pop enthusiast episode!

Welcome back to Season 5 of 2 Brownish Girls, the farewell tour and I am one of your hosts, Cribbs. Happy Gregorian New Year, Lunar New Year and of course, happy 1st episode of the season! It’s great to be back and we hope that you’ve been enjoying some sort of a break or celebrating in the festivities with your loved ones!

For the very very first episode, I am joined by someone special in my life and who naturally had the pleasure of co-creating Cribbs herself, and therefore co-creating 2 Brownish Girls, it is none other than my Dad, Father Cribbs also Sonny. Here we spent a sunny summer afternoon just chatting, and getting to learn about my Dad, alongside me as there’s a few things I didn’t know!

Also just want to apologise for the super echoeyness that you hear when I speak…it’s giving, amateur editor and recording out of a phone and a microphone vibe but I really enjoyed this short talk and I hope this sparks more conversations with your parents while they’re still here. I am so grateful to share this space, that is the podcast that I hold so dear to my heart and to hear him speak about his life.

Today’s episode marks the end of Season 4 of the 2 BROWNISH GIRLS PODCAST! Four seasons but technically 3 years that you have been listening to our lovely and slightly insufferable voices.

For the last four years, we’ve always carefully curated our end of year episodes but this year we’re doing something completely different and will be asking each other questions from Flex Mami’s ReFlex 1 Deck. We also have major news to announce at the end of the episode so be sure to listen in for that!

It’s November and you’re here with ½ of 2 Brownish Girls, me, Cribbs and I’m joined today by ½ of the directors of the Pasifika Film Festival which is returning in person since 2018.. With this year’s festival being held at Riverside Theatres in Parramatta on Darug Country , what an honour it is to be sharing space with Eliorah as they prepare for their big weekend, this weekend!! Welcome Eliorah!

It’s spooky szn, happy Halloween hotties as Meg would say! It feels like a very long time since our last episode however we are here for the 3rd last episode of the year, and this month we are joined by an upcoming artist in the Sydney scene, fresh off performing at the Pass the Mic event by Bodega Collective at Parra Lanes, she is Emerald Brunt, welcome!!

As avid Twitter users, Cribbs and Talica spend the September episode dissecting the community known as 'Poly Twitter' and specifically Noa @nottongan's  'Cycle of Poly Twitter'.  Every year there are discussions on the same subjects within the community and for this month's episode we're going to give our opinions once and for all.
