The Trash Trio is reading.

This week the Trash Trio is playing Truth or Drink as an excuse to get drunk without looking like useless drunkards. This is also the last episode in 2020. 'Tis has been short of impossible to pull through because The Trash Trio were still hounded by work even though it's already the end of December. Nevertheless, we persevere and we made this episode, aptly released on 31 December 2020. Yay? -- Notable mention this episode: TV Series: Brooklyn 99, Peaky Blinders, and The Good Place. Books: A Wizard of Earthsea and Tehanu by Ursula K.

This week the Trash Trio discuss about audiobooks, whether it's considered the same as reading a physical book or not, what we hope to experience when going into the audiobook, and how actually the experience of audiobook is for the Trash Trio. -- This week unfortunately the Trash Trio has no book recommendations, but we are still recommend y'all to stay home and read, if it's really unnecessary for y'all to be outside during the pandemic. -- Stick around for episode 26, because The Trash Trio is planning for something fun in commemoration of 2020 coming to an end. It's not the final episode yet, we think.

The Trash Trio is back! This week we admit that we are just a bunch of introverted hipster who are so mad at people for thinking that reading books is not a valid hobby. dilchh is also complaining about her bad experience with a psychiatrist. Echoed by Lin's awful experience with her psychologist. And, RAM is being a true and tested RAM with all his pretentiousness. -- This week dilchh is recommending her top books from this year, Bad Blood by John Carreyrou, Ten Women by Marcela Serrano, A False Report by T. Christian Miller and Ken Armstrong, The Romanovs by Simon Sebag Montefiore, and Circe by Madeline Miller.

This week on The Trash Trio is Reading: Lin recalls her childhood memories of having a Poldy the Scarecrow as her favourite book character from childhood. dilchh loves the sound of foreign languages she doesn't speak to be her white noise whilst she's reading. RAM wanted an extra 10 minutes in day just to read book (which tells a lot about how little time he spent to read a book in a day). -- Notable mention from this episode: Hello, Poldy! by World Book, Inc. -- Lin and dilchh shared their ghost stories in commemoration of Halloween of this year. Tbh, the greatest scary stories they could possible experienced is probably adulthood itself.

This week on The Trash Trio is Reading: dilchh and Lin are fangirling over Claire North's and Melissa Broder's books, whilst RAM (as always) is still being fancy and strangely very eloquent in explaining why Minke from This Earth of Mankind by Pramoedya Ananta Toer is his favourite character. -- Notable mention from this episode are as follow: The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August, The Sudden Appearance of Hope, Touch, and The End of the Day by Claire North; This Earth of Mankind by Pramoedya Ananta Toer; and 1984 and Animal Farm by George Orwell. -- Honestly, this was the most productive episode the Trash Trio had ever done. We talked about embracing the joy of reading a book without worrying about how others actually enjoy the same book. We also tried to get all serious in giving some social commentaries in correlation to Claire North's books. Other topics in this episode includes talking about dilchh and Lin's depression and anxiety issues. Welp.

This week on The Trash Trio is reading: Lin talks about a book she has yet to finished because it's feels too gossipy for a non fiction book; dilchh shares her favourite picture book, and RAM is staying true to being the fancy pants that he is with his favourite book cover. -- Notable mention this week are as follow: Billion Dollar Whale: The Man Who Fooled Wall Street, Hollywood, and the World by Tom Wright and Bradley Hope; Confessions of an Economic Hit Man by John Perkins; Kiasunomics: Stories of Singaporean Economic Behaviours by Sumit Agrwal, Swee Hoon Ang, and Tien Foo Sing; and The Jolly Pocket Postman by Janet Ahlberg and Allan Ahlberg. -- And, once again, The Trash Trio is reminiscing the good ol' days when they were young and innocent, living in Seoul. -- Ps. Sorry for the echo when dilchh is speaking, she's trying a new microphone.

A. Applegate; The Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi; The Ghost, Pompeii, and Fatherland by Robert Harris; The Midnight Library by Matt Haig; and So Sad Today by Melissa Broder. Melissa Broder also has a podcast you can listen to, it's eating alone in my car. -- This week, dilchh watched a Netflix documentary, American Murder: The Family Next Door, that prompted dilchh to apologise for all her past wrongdoings towards RAM. -- The Trash Trio actually talked a lot about the many types of zodiacs that exist (outside the Western and Chinese zodiac), and they see how it matches with their actual personality. Unfortunately the recording turned weird, so we'll have to postponed it until next episode.

This week The Trash Trio discusses about love/hate relationship with libraries and how Spotify helps The Trash Trio banished evil. -- Notable mentions in this episode are as follow: The Woman in Black (2012 Horror/Thriller film), Pengabdi Setan (Satan's Slave, 2017 Horror/Mystery film), The Graveyard Book and Coraline (both by Neil Gaiman), and The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith, and . -- dilchh is super distracted in this episode, because she's been having anxiety issues. Also the bad quality recording on dilchh's part is totally her fault. Seriously, dilchh's recording is so bad this episode. Will fix it for the next episode. -- Also, RAM and Lin is becoming friends more so than ever.

This week The Trash Trio is sharing their hair salon horror story (failed haircuts and whatnot) whilst also reminiscing about the good old days when Steve from accounting was jamming with the rest of the buff dudes from 98 degrees. Honorable mention goes to 5566, if you know them, then you just know them. Oh, but we also talked about books and whatnot; from hopeful book adaptation to being angry about what books one should read according to some famous person. Like, no, dilchh is not having it. -- Notable mention in this episode are as follow: The Sister of My Heart, by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, Trail of Broken Wings, by Sejal Badani, The Namesake, by Jhumpa Lahiri, and Pretty Girls, by Karen Slaughter, if you're into some family saga stories. The last one is more thriller though. -- Current read: RAM is STILL READING The Call of the Wild, by Jack London; dilchh just finished The Romanovs: 1613-1918, by Simon Sebag Montefiore; Lin will probably finish The Tombs of Atuan, by Ursula K. Le Guin by the end of the week.

Guys! First ever episode recorded in Jakarta after three years of being away from Indonesia! This week, the Trash Trio is discussing about popular books that RAM and dilchh hate, also deceased authors Lin wants to spend time with. RAM is also getting a scolding for throwing shade to Narnia, which resulted in him being forced to partake on the Narnia series read along which will take place later in January 2021 (hopefully something to look forward to in these strange times). Notable mention this episode are the following: The African Trilogy by Chinua Achebe, No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency Series by Alexander McCall Smith, and Akata Witch Series by Nnedi Okorafor. These books are superbly recommended by The Trash Trio. dilchh review Bad Blood: Secret and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup, by John Carreyrou.

This week the Trash Trio is talking about how dilchh judges everything by its cover (and she will not have it any other way), Lin's anger over two horrible book adaptations, and RAM's religious revelation. Don't forget to check the following books: The Secret Series by Pseudonym Bosch, and The Mysterious Benedict Society Series by Trenton Lee Stewart. dilchh reviews The Gun by Fuminori Takamura. Ps. This episode was recorded on the day that Chadwick Boseman passed away. RIP to Chadwick Boseman. I hope we did him justice by being respectful whilst also giving tribute to all his works.

This week the Trash Trio is talking about book covers and janky ass porn. Why, you ask? Who knows? At least we didn't talk about Twilight again. But, we did talk about Haruki Murakami (again). We're starting to think we're not that much of a bookworm as we thought we were. Oh, we also lost RAM twice during the recording.

This week, The Trash Trio talks about genderswap manga, childhood animes, and thankfully they manage to NOT talk about Twilight (again). Be sure to check out the following books that were discussed in this episode: Kafka on the Shore, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running, 1Q84, Norwegian Wood, Sputnik Sweetheart, and The Wind-up Bird Chronicle, all by Haruki Murakami; The Confessions of Frannie Langton by Sara Collins and All the Ways We Said Goodbye by Beatriz Williams, Karen White, and Lauren Willig (dilchh did not finish both books, btw). Notable mentions for manga and anime in this week's episode includes Pumpkin Time by Gaedarae, My Roommate is a Cat (Doukyonin wa Hiza, Tokidoki, Atama no Ue) by Minatsuki Tsunami and Futatsuyu Asu, Sailor Moon by Naoko Takeuchi, Wedding Peach by Sukehiro Tomita and Nao Yazawa, Ranma 1/2 by Rumiko Takahashi, and Fushigi Yugi by Yuu Watase. dilchh reviews Winter Garden by Kristin Hannah.

Literally the hardest episode I have ever had to record due to the many mishaps of here and there. Nevertheless, I persisted and the episode is here (though a bit late). On this episode, the Trash Trio is talking about RAM's obsession for Gundam, Lin's love for Neil Gaiman, and dilchh's crush for Kafka Tamura. Lin and dilchh also agreed on how charming and dreamy James McAvoy was in Becoming Jane. Nevertheless, their love for James McAvoy would never beat the love that Delanie has for Xi Jinping in Xi's the One! Also, for some weird reason, RAM read a sexy/horror book when he was young? Notable mentions in this episode: Make Good Art, Kafka on the Shore, The Good Omens, Anansi Boys, The Graveyard Book, American Gods, and Becoming Jane. Oh, I also did a review of Black Klansman by Ron Stallworth. The link to the questions: https://owlcation.com/humanities/questions-about-books-to-ask-your-friends The link to to XI's the One: https://www.amazon.com/Xis-One-Sandra-Coupland-ebook/dp/B01N1XZ33L/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3TP02G81Y9Y&dchild=1&keywords=xi%27s+the+one+book&qid=1597249582&sprefix=xi%27s%2Caps%2C286&sr=8-1

Trash Trio is back with another pointless conversation, this time we're discussing Twilight. But, we also discuss about other interesting stuff, namely the children's book series of Mata. There are three books in the series that you can look into through this link, https://www.goodreads.com/series/262639-mata. Yes, the books are in Bahasa Indonesia. Speaking of Bahasa Indonesia, you'll probably catch some Bahasa Indonesia in this episode, but be aware that these aren't proper Bahasa Indonesia, more like street lingo kinda thing. I'll give you a guideline, pelakor means a woman who steals someone's husband, and kopet means skidmarks. That's all you need to know, just from this episode. Oh, I also did a review of Yuval Noah Harari's 21 Lessons for the 21st Century.

Heads up, there's a bit of a spoiler if you've never watched the movie Field of Dreams, RAM will spoil it for you. But, don't give up on this episode yet, because we're talking about things that are sad to feel things because we're all dead inside. Notable mention in this episode: All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr, A God in Ruins by Kate Atkinson, A League of Their Own (movie), Field of Dreams (movie), About Time (movie), Kimi no Nawa (movie), 5 cm per second (movie), and Meet Joe Black (movie). Go and check those books and movies for a grand time of sadness and tears, if you ever need to feel things but you're dead inside. I also am reviewing When Women Ruled the World by Kara Cooney.

The Trash Trio was supposed to have a discussion about ebooks or physical books, but then it turned into a trip down memory lane over our lives in South Korea way back when. We also complained about customs put on books. But we also share some suggestions about what to do if one is considering to read an ebook. It's a VERY long episode. But, do stick around for a fruitful and a feel good conversation between the Trash Trio. You may start up a conversation on books or bikes or just to complain about life in general through our Twitter: @dilchh @fideleung @_salarymanblues

Trash Trio is discovering something new! We just discovered what a house lizard is. Lin and dilchh also put RAM on the spot for his preference between paperback books and hardback books. I also did a super bias review of The Genius of Charlie Brown.

Trash Trio is back and we're discussing whether we prefer buying to borrowing books. I also did a short review about Lady Killers, another book on the true crime genre that I read this year. Another good news? I made my first soy wax candle!

Trash Trio is not in this episode because the recording that we did is a bloody mess and I suck at audio editing, so we had to scrape it and hope we can make better recording for the next episode. In this episode, I did a shitty review of the book Mindhunter by John E. Douglas and Mark Olshaker (the book is not shitty, I'm shitty at making reviews) and I also include a small segment of my husband and I taking (another) BuzzFeed quiz.

Hi! A bit of change this episode. I am inviting my husband along with my friend to have a chat about our memorable book. This was an episode that spans three different countries (Colombia, Indonesia, and South Korea), so excuse the not so great audio quality. I'll fix it on the next episode. I also am reviewing my fifth book in 2020 called Understanding the British.

I am discussing about my (technically) fourth book in 2020 (because I didn't really finished the second book, boohoo). RAM is once again is joining in this episode and he quite clearly said that I ate my booger. But is it true, though? Eh, who knows? Who cares?

The second book in 2020. It's a nonfiction true crime book. Oh, RAM is also making an appearance in this episode (and probably will be appearing in the next four episodes). We're doing a Buzzfeed quiz that supposedly will try to guess about our personality. I also talked about my first foray into CBD oil in an attempt to help with my anxiety and sleep.

Finally the first book review! This is a very sad attempt on making a book review, because I read this book back in January, and I did not have any notes regarding the book, also the book was already packed in a box in anticipation of my move back to Indonesia, which by the way has been delayed due to the decision to not have a international flight coming and going to and from Colombia until 31 August 2020. Please bear with me as I get my bearing on this podcasting thing.

I promise the second episode will be about book reviews. In the meantime, do enjoy a small long distance conversation between my husband (currently living in South Korea) and I (currently living in Colombia) to get to know a little bit about me (and my husband, as he will probably be popping in the podcast from time to time).

This is just an intro episode. I'm so bad at this, and obviously so bad at recording myself. But basically this podcast would be sort of like a book review with a little mix of me complaining here and there. Be patient with me, kay?
