In this episode, I sit down with author Ananya Devarajan to unpack her novel Sanskarí Sweetheart and the much bigger conversations it opens up around culture, romance, and representation. We talk about what “sanskarí” actually means today, how tradition and desire can coexist, and why South Asian love stories deserve more nuance than they're often given.Our conversation dives into Desi representation in mainstream media, including what shows like Never Have I Ever get wrong about South Asian families and identity, as well as how modern romance is evolving both on the page and on screen. We also touch on Bollywood influences, thoughts on Ranveer Singh's latest film, iconic romantic storytelling, and how cultural expectations shape the way we understand love.This episode is about being seen, challenging stereotypes, and writing (and living) love stories that feel honest, layered, and deeply human, especially for those who grew up rarely seeing themselves reflected accurately in media.Perfect for readers, writers, and anyone interested in culture, romance, and the power of storytelling.

Los astrónomos descubrieron la expansión acelerada del universo gracias al estudio de una clase especial de supernovas, conocidas como supernovas de tipo Ia, las cuales se creía que tenían un brillo intrínseco bien determinado. Sin embargo, investigadores del Departamento de Astronomía y del Centro para la Investigación de la Evolución Galáctica de la Universidad Yonsei, en Seúl, Corea del Sur, han puesto de manifiesto que, al analizar nuevos datos obtenidos por el proyecto DESI (siglas en inglés de Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument), se observa que las supernovas de tipo Ia no son todas iguales y que su brillo depende de la época en la que se formaron sus estrellas progenitoras. Estos resultados cuestionan seriamente el modelo cosmológico actual y favorecen aquellos modelos en los que la energía oscura varía con el tiempo a medida que el universo evoluciona, lo que conduciría a una conclusión errónea sobre la velocidad de expansión del universo.

It's a Thanksgiving week miracle - as I realized we never uploaded the season five 5 finale, so you're getting two episodes this week! Please note the political discourse for this episode is rather old! And wow, what an episode. But before we delve into that - I woke up on the wrong side of the bed and for some reason my ire is directed towards Jack Schlossberg. And then we get into it all - Shosh's girl boss era, Desi's stan army, the sweet appeal of Ray, the disarray of Adam and Jessa, and the evolution of Miss Horvath.

In episode six of "Your Mental Weight Room," mindset mentor Desi explores the psychological impact of sports rankings on athletes and coaches.

Using real-life examples, she emphasizes that success comes from mental resilience and self-belief, not rankings, urging listeners to define their worth by effort and attitude rather than numbers.

Join Sailor Jerri and Mattison, certified trainers and canine behavior experts with a combined 3 decades of experience in behavioral dog training.   In this episode, Brittany joins us to unpack what it really means to “get to know your dog as an individual.” Her two littermates, Dax and King, couldn't be more different: one sensitive and reactive, the other fairly confident. Together, we explore how stories, expectations, and even our own nervous systems shape the way we see our dogs. From “terminal uniqueness” to resilience and capacity, this conversation dives deep into the messy, nuanced process of truly meeting your dog where they are without overcomplicating what they need. A grounded, eye-opening discussion for anyone learning to see beyond the behavior and understand the dog in front of them. Come back next month to hear from Desi, the trainer who worked for four weeks with Brittany to help Dax and King.   To apply for a live unpacking, see photos of the dogs featured in this episode, or read full episode transcripts, visit us at www.unpacked.stream and connect with us on Instagram @unpacked.stream.   unPACKed was created by Jerri Scherff and Mattison Skoog-Simpson, and edited and produced by Mattison Skoog-Simpson.  Visual design by Mattison Skoog-Simpson and theme music by Oleksandr Stepanov.

It's time to — well, not exactly sprint, but maybe meander — into the final season of Girls! Hannah's Moth story has led to a New York Times piece which leads to a new assignment (from guest star Chelsea Peretti!) to head out to Montauk and write about a ladies surf group. She finds another notable guest star (Riz Ahmed!) to be her empty-headed vibes friend (with benefits) for the weekend, and to give her a bit of perspective on the difference between bonding over loving things, and hating things. Marnie and Ray babe themselves into what might be the beginning of the end of something, Shosh and Ray act like an old married couple and Marnie and Desi divorce themselves into another problem. Adam and Jessa meanwhile have put their violent domestic disputes behind them and have regressed into a couple of nude cavepeople for some reason. GIRLS! FINAL SEASON! Join us over on Patreon.com/KevinAndJon for EVERY episode of the Girls journey! The beginning of the end, pals.

In this episode, Desi talks about the difference between confidence and self confidence. She shares how both are relevant, how to increase both, and how to find confidence without any evidence. To learn more visit www.clutchconfidence.com

Arguably, this is an incredibly important episode of GIRLS, but do we agree? We try and take it all on - Hannah's boundary pushing, Marnie and Desi's checking-in at Seattle Grace, the emotional triad that is Jessa-Hannah-Adam, and what we would (and wouldn't) do for Dill Harcourt. And through it all, we ponder: is Fran a good dude? Take a listen!To support Shortcomings, visit us online at patreon.com/shortcomingspodcast
