Dhanya Dhaya Ghadi by Shree Swaminarayan Mandir Kalupur

Dhaya has two degrees from MIT and she worked in venture capital. Now she applies all that brainpower to make people laugh. We're talking to our May 20 headliner about nerds, comedy by the Bay, the mixture of politics and laughter and lots more.

May 17-23, 1980 Today Ken welcomes comedian Dhaya Lakshminarayanan to the show. Ken and Dhaya discuss Dedham, MA, yards of beer, poutine, local flavor, Friendly's, the origins of Sundaes, San Francisco, MIT, schools on the Red Line, The Jeffersons, Birmingham Alabama, growing up the child of immigrants, racial slurs, why George Jefferson may be the quintessential American, Marla Gibbs, Sanford & Son, poverty, The Fresh Prince of Bel Aire, Krush Groove, latchkey syndication, Mary Tyler Moore, single women, secretly normalizing gay culture, Three's Company, Star Trek, The Love Boat, The Twilight Zone, Herve Villechaize, Mr. Belvedere, Fantasy Island, Warwick Davis, 227, spin off shows, Marilyn Monroe, Edward Gorey, Dione Warwick, Cheryl Ladd, That's Incredible, Real People, Nova, why Carl Sagan is the perfect man, Murder Can Hurt You, The McNeal Learer News Hour, Buck Rogers, Fridays!, Red Foxx, teaching Tom Willis how to speak Jive, and Gary Shandling's understanding of sitcom formats.

On this episode, Dhaya talks gadgetry made "for women" with Vera Chan, a Yahoo and Microsoft alum who knows a thing or two about marketing. From some shady Fitness Apps to the politics of Booth Babes, Dhaya and Vera are here to tell the tech industry, "Stop making things pink and pretending that it works."

Growing up bilingual, Dhaya moved through the world in both English and Tamil. Interestingly enough there’s no word for "excuse me" in Tamil, but there is a phrase that just means “stand aside!” Her relatives in India could never understand why she was always apologizing and saying "excuse me." Is that an American thing? Or is it an American woman thing?

When can women speak out against discrimination, and what should they do when they feel like they can't? Dhaya tackles negotiating, debating, and navigating the working world for women today. With anecdotes of childhood trips to India and an interview with biotech superstar and stand-up comic, Karinda Dobbins, Dhaya uses it all to drop some serious wisdom on speaking up and speaking out.

The best negotiator Dhaya has ever met is her immigrant mother. She can go into any market and get the best price. This podcast episode is about negotiating, who’s great at it, how to be better at it, and if that has anything to do with pay gaps in industries from Technology to Hollywood.

A pink razor with a flower that costs $2 more than a regular disposable razor? Dhaya fell for it. Spanx? Yes. Dhaya covers marketing trends that seduce us to buy “woman” branded items and services. How do they get in our heads? And is it worth it?

In this episode Dhaya and I go deep on compassion, anger and relinquishing control - the holy trinity of human drama. She's hot off a meditation retreat and I have so many questions for her - like how annoying was everyone else on the retreat? How do you deal with your own thoughts for days on end with no interruption?  Dhaya is a gracious and enlightening guest. I know you'll love her.
