Danish weddings have rules, rituals, and a lot more kissing than you think. Indian weddings have fire, midnight ceremonies, and enough momentum to leave everyone exhausted before sunrise. Kriti Prajapati joins Derek Hartman and Conrad Molden to compare the two, and the result is equal parts culture shock, comedy, and genuinely useful advice for anyone attending a wedding in Denmark. Kriti is a comedian, content creator, and longtime Copenhagen insider who brings her own cross-cultural wedding stories to the table, from a wedding where she brought a very personal gift to the bride, to the Danish traditions that caught her completely off guard. If you are headed to a Danish wedding, living in Denmark, or just love hearing how the same milestone can look wildly different across cultures, this one is packed with the kind of details you only learn by being there.You'll discover:What to expect from a Danish wedding ceremony, dinner, and partyWhy speeches can feel like a full-on variety showThe strange but important rules around kissing the groom, standing on chairs, and going under the tableWhat not to wear, what to bring, and how gifts actually workHow Indian weddings handle timing, rituals, guests, and the infamous shoe-stealing traditionKriti also shares stories from performing comedy at Danish and international weddings, teaching Bollywood dance, and building a new solo show for the UP Festival in Copenhagen. Along the way, youll laugh through hilarious comparisons of how different cultures celebrate, flirt, host, and overcomplicate a very happy day. Essential listening if you have a Danish wedding on your calendar, love cross-cultural comedy, or want the inside track on what really happens once the invitations go out.More of Kriti:Tickets for Kriti's show at Up Festival: https://upfestival.dk/om/komikere/kriti-prajapatiInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kriticalcomedy/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@KritiPrajapatiOther WAYDID episodes with Kriti: https://pod.link/1704607322/episode/NjczMjdkOWE0N2JmOTIwNTRlMDZkN2Nm

Scroll any news feed and convince me otherwise. Without even knowing what the other side, US, looks like, all you need to do is judge Leftism on its own merits. I saw a video of a man, dressed like a baby with a pacifier in his mouth, and he calls himself an “age regressor” [X] SB – Age regressor man He wants somebody to take care of him 24/7 for the rest of his life. I couldn't make this up if I were on LSD and given 3 more lifetimes. And this is what the Left considers to be normal.  How are these freaks created? Pakistan lawman in TX Mr. Ali Sheikhani himself.... Born in Pakistan. Came here on a student visa. Built a fortune. Now drives a Rolls-Royce to a Texas police station as an elected Republican lawman. When he's not hosting Pakistani dignitaries - including the head of the Pakistani Consulate - inside an American law-enforcement office… He's back in Karachi living like a Bollywood movie star. Throwing stacks of cash into the crowds. Making it rain U.S. dollars!  Cameras rolling. Fans cheering. Cash flying. (No women, of course; that would be haram) This is the man Texas voters put in charge of a police precinct. Can we keep Pakistan out of our police force? How is this even allowed! Muslim judge, dual justice This is Judge Amjad Nawaz.  He allowed a 70-year-old muslim to walk free after sexually assaulting a 12-year-old girl. In 2016, he did the same with a similar case involving a muslim.  Yet, in the same year, he gave a white man 8yrs for rape. This is clear corruption Kevin Jackson has been called, the "white-collar" Joe Rogan. Given their similar backgrounds in TV, comedy, and martial arts, it's easy to see why people enjoy Kevin's show so much. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

As expected, Nadeem brings it back to Bollywood and wants to know if renowned choreographer Farah Khan is hot or not as a director. For the worst, Mita and Nadeem watch the 2010 heist caper, "Tees Maar Khan" for the next movie review. Nadeem reluctantly watched "Spider-Man: Brand New Day".

South Asian cinema shapes how millions of people around the world encounter the region's cultures, languages, and identities. For many, film provides a gateway to South Asian languages and literature, and to cultural conversations that cross national, regional, and diasporic borders. But what does South Asian cinema say about the societies it represents? Beneath the spectacle, song, and romance, filmmakers across the region - including those working within Bollywood - have long grappled with questions of gender, caste, ethnicity, class, beauty, and skin colour. How do these tensions sit alongside cinema's power to foster cross-cultural empathy and identification? And what can film reveal about the complexity and diversity within South Asian cultures themselves? Co-presented by La Trobe Asia and the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne, this event brings together researchers and practitioners to explore South Asian cinema as both a cultural bridge and a critical lens. Panel: Dr Ian Woolford (Hindi Studies, La Trobe University) Dr Divya Rama Gopalakrishnan (History, La Trobe University) Dr Phebyn Joseph (Hindi Studies, La Trobe University) MJ Bently (Partnerships Manager, Indian Film Festival in Melbourne) Matt Smith (La Trobe Asia) Recorded on 7th August, 2026.

Mahesh Raikar wants to build the “Indian McDonald's.”The founder of SKVP joins Dan Pope to unpack how he's turning Indian street food into a scalable quick-service restaurant brand — without stripping away the authenticity that made the food special in the first place.Mahesh breaks down the systems behind SKVP's 23 sites, why a seemingly huge menu can still deliver food in around seven minutes, and how the business thinks about everything from store-level EBITDA and bottlenecks to central kitchens, location strategy and its hero product: the vada pav. They also explore SKVP's ambition to reach 44 UK sites by March 2028 and eventually take the brand global, why Mahesh believes Indian food still has a huge untapped QSR opportunity, and the lessons he's learned from McDonald's, Burger King, Nando's and other global restaurant brands.Plus: Mahesh's journey from starting as a porter at Compass, the reality of managing stress as an entrepreneur, Bollywood and Indian culture as brand-building tools, and why SKVP is investing relentlessly in making its core product “the best in the world.”ON THE MENU:00:00:00 Intro00:05:00 The Indian Burger That Could Go Global00:11:00 Why Indian Food Needs a Western Lens00:15:05 SKVP's Plan for 44 UK Sites00:18:25 How SKVP Serves Food in Seven Minutes00:23:25 The Systems Making Indian Food Scalable00:29:10 The Bottlenecks That Hold Businesses Back00:34:10 Building Today for 100 Restaurants Tomorrow00:43:00 The Numbers Restaurant Founders Must Understand00:51:00 From Porter to Building SKVP00:54:00 Why Authenticity Is SKVP's Advantage01:00:50 Every Great Brand Needs a Hero Product01:07:10 Could Franchising Take SKVP Global?01:10:10 What Will Actually Limit SKVP's Growth?01:18:40 The Hardship That Shaped Mahesh Raikar01:24:50 Why Founders Need Macro Patience01:30:20 Entrepreneurship Is Really Stress Management01:40:00 Building the Best Vada Pav in the World01:47:55 How Bollywood Builds Indian Soft Power01:53:45 Can Delivery Help Build the Indian McDonald's?   ============================================== ♨️Still bloody HUNGRY?

In this episode of The True Fiction Project, actor Rishi Jaiswal walks us through his unlikely leap from aerospace engineering to a national Broadway tour, his lead role in The Revolution's Wife, and the deeply personal story behind his new short film, The Last Waltz. This movie is about a South Asian family confronting their trans daughter's identity and the silence that follows. We also talk about dance, Sundance, and the strange coincidences that shaped this casting. Tune in to hear the trailer of The Last Waltz, highlighting the moment a father finally faces the daughter he can barely name.What You'll Learn in This Episode: ✅ How Rishi Jaiswal traded aerospace engineering for a career on stage and screen, starting with So You Think You Can Dance and a national tour of Life of Pi on Broadway.✅ Why he sent a freedom fighter poem about Gaza to land his role in Revolution's Wife, and how that bold risk paid off during the casting process.✅ How growing up around a family dance studio and Bollywood culture shaped the way Rishi approaches every character he plays on screen and stage.✅ Why The Last Waltz speaks directly to the South Asian community about learning to accept a trans child, even without fully understanding her journey first.Subscribe to Reenita's Storytelling Den on Substack for free at https://substack.com/@reenitahora and to her YouTube channel to watch the video version of this episode! https://www.youtube.com/@reenymalCheck out her website to stay up-to-date on events, book releases and more! https://reenita.com/TIMESTAMPS:  00:00 Rishi Jaiswal shares how he became involved in Revolution's Wife03:25 How a Gaza freedom fighter poem helped Rishi land his role in Reenita's script05:14 Discussion of the Revolution's Wife script07:56 The Sundance Film Festival encounter that unexpectedly brought Nosheen into the cast as Padma11:35 From aerospace engineering to a family dance studio, tracing Rishi's winding path into the arts15:10 Rishi introduces The Last Waltz, his own short film about a trans daughter and her parents22:38 Watch the exclusive trailer for The Last Waltz ahead of its debut at the LA Shorts FestivalKEY TAKEAWAYS:

Hello Hello Hello,It's that time of the year when QID does its mid-yearly Bollywood round-up (aka the time when Dhruv and Cris are at their bitchiest). Rather than following our regular format, we've split our episode into 2 parts: the first one, featuring first-time guest & regular writer for The Indian Express, Anas Arif, is (hopefully) the civil one. We discuss two of the more prominent titles of this year—Anubhav Sinha's controversial Assi and Imtiaz Ali's much-revered Main Vaapas Aaunga—extensively to try and understand their appeal (or lack thereof) for a broader audience.The second part of the episode, featuring only Cris and Dhruv, is chaos as usual because we revert to our format of picking notable honorable (or in this case, mostly dishonorable) mentions of the year (so far). We go through these categories by category - discussing performances, direction, writing, music & editing that missed (or, in the rare case, hit) the mark.MAJOR SPOILERS FOR ASSI & MAIN VAAPAS AAUNGAMINOR SPOILERS FOR COCKTAIL 2 & O'ROMEOTIMECODESPART 1 (w/ ANAS) - [00:00 - 01:39:01]Introduction - [00:00 - 03:42]Assi - [03:42 - 51:19]Main Vaapas Aaunga - [51:19 - 01:39:01]PART 2 (w/o ANAS) - [01:39:01 - 02:37:13]Introduction - [01:39:01 - 01:41:26]Honorable/Dishonorable MentionsPerformance - [01:41:26 - 01:47:46]Direction - [01:47:46 - 01:54:28]Writing - [01:54:28 - 02:00:51]Scene - [02:00:51 - 02:07:13]Cinematography - [02:07:13 - 02:14:52]Editing - [02:14:52 - 02:22:16]Music - [02:22:16 - 02:28:39]Film - [02:28:39 - 02:37:13]OUTRO - [02:37:13 - 02:39:07]Do hit 'Follow' on Spotify if you haven't already to help the podcast reach more people!YOU CAN (AND SHOULD!)

Every time a song from a sequel to a hit Bollywood film is released, it draws intense--and often--unfavourable comparisons to the original's tunes. More recently, these sequels' new and remixed songs are also drawing listeners back to the older tracks and returning the classics to the charts. In this episode, we show evidence of this relatively new trend, examine why it's happening, and what it says about the current state of Hindi movie music and the economics of industry as a whole.

C.P. Gurnani is the Founder of Aionos, an AI-enabled company he launched in April 2024 after a 44-year career in the global technology industry. He is best known for leading Tech Mahindra, and his earlier career took him through HCL under Shiv Nadar and Perot Systems under Ross Perot Sr. He continues to serve as Chair of Mahindra Holidays and founder of Mahindra University. In this second appearance on DGTL Voices, C.P. sits down with Ed for a conversation that starts with a Bollywood song about perseverance and ends with why the world's real innovation is happening in places most people aren't watching. He walks through India's advantage at the intersection of talent, data, and the willingness to work within constraints, telling the story of a friend making cancer diagnostics affordable for under one dollar. He shares the three biggest misconceptions about AI, why he thinks the world is measuring it wrong, and what it takes to build a company where the mission is to have fun and create real impact. Plus his leadership formula: discipline, determination, dedication, and the two-way street of giving and taking that made him the leader he is. https://marxadvisory.com

In dieser Folge reisen wir nach Indien. Nach Mumbai. In eine Stadt, die viele Menschen „City of Dreams“ nennen: Stadt der Träume. Hier leben rund 24 Millionen Menschen. Mumbai ist ein Schmelztiegel. Eine Stadt, in die Menschen mit großen Hoffnungen kommen.Und natürlich ist Mumbai auch Bollywood. Das Zentrum der indischen Filmwelt. Hier entstehen jedes Jahr Filme, Serien, Streamingformate. Hier werden Geschichten erzählt von Liebe, Aufstieg, Drama und Happy End. Bollywood ist ein riesiges Geschäft – und eine riesige Sehnsuchtsmaschine. Denn Millionen Menschen träumen mit. Manche im Kino. Manche vor den Villen der großen Stars. Und manche träumen davon, selbst einmal auf der Leinwand zu stehen.Unsere Kollegin Lena Bodewein hat für diese Ausgabe einen jungen Schauspieler getroffen, der diesen Traum tatsächlich geschafft hat. Prajesh Kashyap kam über das Theater zum Film, musste viele Vorsprechen, Absagen und Enttäuschungen aushalten. Einmal probte er monatelang für eine Tanzszene – und bei der Premiere war sie aus dem Film geschnitten. Heute wird er auf Mumbais Straßen erkannt. Aber sein Weg zeigt auch: Träume erfüllen sich in Bollywood nicht einfach so. Sie brauchen oft Geduld.Aber in Mumbai geht es nicht nur um die ganz großen Träume vom Ruhm. Manchmal ist ein Traum auch viel bescheidener: ein warmes, selbstgekochtes Mittagessen. Lena Bodewein begleitet die berühmten Dabbawalas von Mumbai. Seit mehr als 130 Jahren bringen sie Essen von Zuhause in die Büros der Stadt. In metallenen Henkelmännern, mit dem Fahrrad, mit dem Zug, wieder mit dem Fahrrad. Fast komplett analog, nach einem ausgeklügelten System, das weltweit bestaunt wird. Und Lena Bodewein führt uns nach Dharavi, eine der größten informellen Siedlungen Asiens, vielen bekannt aus dem Film „Slumdog Millionaire“. Von außen wirkt Dharavi arm und einfach. Doch wer hineingeht, entdeckt auch etwas anderes: Werkstätten, Nähstuben, Lederproduktion. Ein riesiger Business-Hub auf engstem Raum. Hier werkeln viele Menschen an ihrem Traum von einem besseren Leben.Können wir uns vielleicht etwas abgucken – von den vielen Träumen in Mumbai?Auch darum geht es in dieser Ausgabe von Zwischen Hamburg und Haiti.

This week, Tommy is joined by actress Avantika Vandanapu, who is currently starring in Mindy Kaling’s Not Suitable for Work, a series about five work-obsessed twenty-something professionals living in New York City as they balance the chaos of their professional and personal lives. Today, Avantika opens up about how her life changed after the 2024 Mean Girls musical adaptation of the beloved classic, how Reneé Rapp helped her navigate the musical numbers, why leading Disney’s Spin will forever be meaningful to her, what she’s loved about being part of Hulu’s Not Suitable for Work, how she landed a role that wasn’t originally written for her, whether she wants her character to end up with Kel, why it’s important to take up space even when you feel like you might not belong, how she’s handled heartbreak in her career, the type of film she dreams of starring in, the advice she wants to ask Mindy Kaling, why Off Campus got its casting right, why she sometimes worries about sharing too much, and so much more. And be sure to catch the mini rapid-fire "Hot Takes and Hangouts" interview with Avantika out next Thursday, July 23! Subscribe, rate, and leave a written review if you enjoy this conversation!

Obsession — who hasn't seen it at this point? Curry Barker's $750K horror film has made over $400 million, minted a star in Inde Navarrette, and started a fight about what to even call this genre. This week we dig into the BTS trivia, the scenes we can't stop thinking about, and the Indian censor board's missing 36 seconds. Then we get into nice guy horror itself: the worst Pokémon evolution you've ever heard, Bollywood's hypermasculine inverse, and the Indian remake of Obsession that lives in our heads. (It involves IIT coaching.) Caution: ⚠️ Full spoilers for Obsession, light spoilers for Barbarian and Companion. Let us know what you thought of it in the comments!

Philippa opens with an update on the Great Book Parcel Saga — a box of holiday reading, a Greek customs office, a handwritten letter explaining why a normal person would post books to themselves, and the very real possibility of being detained at passport control. Then it's three book reviews and a long-overdue conversation with Tim Sullivan, creator of the beloved DS George Cross series, about his eighth book The Tailor.

With Taylor & Travis wedding fever consuming our feeds, we're unpacking the wedding movies that shaped us—and the ones that absolutely didn't need a ceremonial third act.We kick things off with the Bollywood adaptation that completely reimagined a literary classic, featuring Aishwarya Rai in an iconic performance that we controversially claim eclipsed the source material. Two worlds colliding? It's basically the Taylor and Travis of cinema.We also dive into the royal rom-com that tried to have it all: a feminist twist where the lead refuses marriage at the altar, flips an entire parliament, and declares herself queen solo.... except the movie immediately betrays its own message by forcing a last-minute wedding nobody asked for. We're also chatting about why some wedding movies just didn't need the dress, the ceremony, or the forced happily-ever-after. Spoiler: we have thoughts about which films could've skipped the spectacle entirely and would been infinitely better for it.Take The Spill's monthly pop culture quiz here and test your knowledge!

When Taylor Swift launched her latest album, The Life of a Showgirl, in October 2025, she recorded two short clips to promote it. One for Amazon Music began with “Hey, it's Taylor Swift”. Another, for Spotify with “Hey, it's Taylor”.These two phrases may sound a little mundane, but they're now at the frontline of a legal fightback by celebrities like Swift against AI deepfakes. In April, Swift's intellectual property company, TAS Right Management, applied to the US Patent and Trademark office to trademark them as registered sound marks, along with a photo of her, from her recent Eras tour.In this episode, we speak to intellectual property expert Graeme Austin, a professor of law at the University of Melbourne and chair of private law at Victoria University of Wellington to understand why Swift took this route, and the different ways celebrities are trying to protect themselves against AI deepfakes. And if you're not a celebrity with a large legal team, what can you do?This episode was written and produced by Gemma Ware and Mend Mariwany. Mixing by Michelle Macklem and theme music by Neeta Sarl.

Philippa is joined by three brilliant crime writers — Abir Mukherjee, Jane Casey, and Sarah Hilary — to talk all about St Hilda's Crime Fiction Weekend, the unique Oxford crime fiction event running 4th–6th September. Each guest is allotted a school role (head girl, school council rep, and chair stacker) which determines the questions they're asked — and the chaos that follows is exactly as fun as it sounds.

Avec cette chaleur, une seule question se posait cette semaine : comment trouver un peu de fraîcheur à Paris ? Nous avons testé des choses « classiques » : piscine, magasins climatisés, etc. Et d'autres typiquement parisiennes et plus originales. What does a Parisian do when the heat hits 33°C indoors? In this episode, I share my week's search for cool air — in French, naturally. This podcast is made for French learners who want to confront themselves with real, non-textbook French. Use your ear to understand spoken French as it's actually spoken, and improve your comprehension while discovering French culture along the way. The level of this episode is B1-B2, as it mixes everyday, accessible vocabulary (heatwave, temperatures, cooling down) with more formal, historical vocabulary tied to 17th-century letters and "gallantry" — a contrast you'll rarely find in a traditional French course, where these two registers are usually kept apart. This episode also answers the following questions: How do you get to Marly-le-Roi and the forêt domaniale de Marly? Are French trains air-conditioned? Who was Madame de Sévigné? What is the Carnavalet museum, and what is it about? What did French 17th-century "gallantry" actually mean? Who are Jennifer Tamas and Mélanie Traversier, and what do they study? What can 17th-century French "gallantry" teach us about how men and women relate today? Do French people really talk for hours at a café? Is it possible to attend a French Opera ballet class session? Is there a Bollywood dance school in Paris?

Nick welcomes radio producer and film fanatic Tom Hush back to the podcast for another funny, smart, and gloriously weird edition of Theater of Trash. This time, Tom takes apart and celebrates the wild Bollywood film Mahakaal, a movie often described as Nightmare on Elm Street meets Grease. As always, Tom digs into what makes this oddball cult favorite work, and why it deserves a second look. Later, Esmeralda Leon joins Nick to talk about some of the hidden gems streaming on Tubi and Pluto TV, including the British series Brassic and the unforgettable TV movie about Corey Feldman and Corey Haim. They also get into real-life celebrity fights, from Steven Seagal vs. John Leguizamo to Brad Pitt vs. Shia LaBeouf and Rob Lowe vs. Tom Cruise. Plenty of punches, and plenty of laughs. [Ep 467]

On Your World of Creativity, we travel around the world talking with creative practitioners who turn ideas into impact.In just the past few episodes, we've been (virtually) exploring creative centers like London, Sydney, and Las Vegas — along with vibrant hubs like Pittsburgh and Austin. Today, we're in New York City… and even making a stop in Times Square ... with a guest who has quite literally taken her voice global.I'm joined by Kneet — a Thai Sikh Punjabi independent artist blending Bollywood glam with hip-hop swagger. Her music explores identity, resilience, cultural fusion, and creative reinvention.Her breakout single “RISE” hit #1 on Apple Music video charts and appeared on Times Square billboards — marking a defining moment in her independent journey. She's continued that momentum with her latest release, “My Man.”But beyond the music, Kneet brings a powerful lived experience — navigating motherhood, advocacy, and systemic challenges — while completing her Master's in Developmental Psychology.Today, we're talking about Creative Cultural Expression… and the Power of Voice.Kneet is a global independent artist whose sound blends pop, hip-hop, soul/R&B, and cinematic storytelling — shaped by a life lived across cultures.Her work is rooted in truth — transforming personal experience into universal expression. Whether through music, advocacy, or storytelling, she is reclaiming voice, honoring identity, and creating space for authenticity.1 — Identity as Creative FuelKneet, your music feels deeply rooted in identity — cultural, personal, and emotional. What first inspired you to use music as a way to express who you are and what you've lived through?How has your Thai Sikh Punjabi background shaped your sound, your storytelling, and the way you show up as an artist?2 — The Power of VoiceThis episode is really centered on the idea of “the power of voice.” What does that mean to you — both as an artist and as a person navigating real-life challenges?Was there a moment in your life where you realized you had to stop surviving… and start choosing your voice?3 — Creativity as Healing & TransformationYour work carries emotional depth — it feels like more than performance, it feels like processing and transformation. How does music become a tool for healing when words alone aren't enough?You're navigating intense personal experiences while continuing to create. How do you stay grounded and protect your creative energy during those times?4 — Turning Personal Story into Universal ConnectionOne of the most powerful things about your music is how personal stories become something universal. How do you translate your lived experience into songs that resonate across cultures and audiences?Why do you think so many strong voices — especially women — are often misunderstood, and how does reclaiming your voice shift that narrative?5 — Rising as an Independent ArtistYour single “RISE” hitting #1 and appearing in Times Square is an incredible milestone — especially as an independent artist. What did that moment represent for you?For other artists listening, what are some practical ways they can unlock their voice, build confidence, and create opportunities without waiting for permission?SummaryToday we explored what it means to create from identity, to reclaim your voice, and to use creativity not just as expression — but as transformation.From blending cultures into a unique artistic sound…to turning personal challenges into global connection…to rising as an independent artist on your own terms…Kneet's story reminds us that our voice is not something we're given — it's something we claim.If you enjoyed this episode, take a moment to subscribe, rate, and review Your World of Creativity on your favorite podcast app.It helps more creative voices like Kneet's be heard around the world.And come back next time, as we continue our journey… unlocking… Your World of Creativity.
