Talk Art live at the Venice Biennale, presented by Burberry. Recorded at the St Regis Library, we meet leading artist Sir John Akomfrah CBE RA and Tarini Malik, the curator of the British pavilion 2024.The British Council is delighted to present Listening All Night To The Rain by John Akomfrah at the 60th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia 2024.The exhibition runs from 20 April to 24 November 2024.Exploring post-colonialism, environmental devastation and the politics of aesthetics, Listening All Night To The Rain is Akomfrah's boldest and most ambitious commission to date.The exhibition draws its title from 11th century Chinese writer and artist Su Dongpo's poetry, which explores the transitory nature of life during a period of political exile. Organised in a series of song-like movements, or ‘cantos', the exhibition brings together eight interlocking and overlapping multimedia and sound installations into a single and immersive environment that tells stories of migrant diasporas in Britain. It is the result of decades of extensive research by the artist and his team, using historical records to contextualise our experience of the present day.Listening All Night To The Rain weaves together newly filmed material, archive video footage and still images, with audio and text from international archives and libraries. The exhibition tells global stories through the ‘memories' of people who represent migrant communities in Britain and examines how multiple geopolitical narratives are reflected in the experiences of diasporic people more broadly.Each gallery space layers together a specific colour field, influenced by the paintings of American artist Mark Rothko, in order to highlight the ways in which abstraction can represent the fundamental nature of human drama.Listening All Night To The Rain positions various theories of acoustemology: the study of how the sonic experience mirrors and shapes our cultural realities. Akomfrah draws on an acute acoustic sensitivity influenced by a variety of formative experiences, from protests to club culture in 1970s-80s London. Each of Akomfrah's ‘cantos' is accompanied by a specific soundtrack, which layers archival material with field recordings, speeches and popular and devotional music. Extending the sense of hybridity in the filmic collages, Akomfrah's use of sound encourages us to consider the breadth of cultural identity in Britain more broadly.Follow @Smoking_Dog_Films, @AkomfrahJohn @TariniMalik, @BritishArts Presented by @BurberryThanks @Lisson_Gallery and @LaBiennaleLearn more at Lisson: https://www.lissongallery.com/artists/john-akomfrah Hosted on Acast.

In this trailer, you get a gist of what Tea With Tarini will be all about and why I have always wanted to have a podcast. It's a sneak peek into what the Podcast journey will be like so I hope you are just as excited as I am. We will have new episodes coming out everyday Wednesday at 12pm so don't forget to tune in ☀️
Another episode about Instagram??? At least it's not manifestation! “End Instagram” has been all over our feeds- and with good reason. Not only does the algorithm not work for anyone (except to show us ads), Instagram is basically Tik Tok at this point. On this week's episode, Nadine and Tarini discuss how Instagram is going the way of Facebook- trying to do too much, eventually not doing anything well, and losing even the one thing it did do well. Instagram, in their humble opinion, should stay in its lane as a photo sharing app. In the meantime, tune in next week for an update on Nadine's insta-cleanse and Tarini's update on the Riverdale season finale (if you know you know).

On this week's episode, Nadine and Tarini discuss all things curly hair. But not how to take care of it (Ashley Tisdale already put out a video on that- IYKYK). Instead, it's about how curly hair is trendy and how it feels for people who have struggled with their hair forever. And while it may be trendy, when non-white people have curly hair it's still regarded as unruly, unkempt, unprofessional. Not only that, it's often shown as the “before” in makeovers and in movies, used as a way to denote characters as lower class, dirty, and often ugly. Listen to hear all their thoughts on curly hair, how it's represented, and why they ***will*** be gatekeeping (refer to Ashley Tisdale's curly hair tutorial).

On last week's episode, Nadine and Tarini discussed the implications of overturning Roe v. Wade in the U.S. and its impact around the world. This week's episode continues the conversation in a different way. Women's bodies are constantly policed, whether through policy or in media. This week's episode explores not just the political implication on women's bodies but the social structures through which women and their bodies are conditioned to look, act, and feel.

The last week in politics has been… harrowing to say the least. The over turning of Roe v. Wade- which protects the right to an abortion- casts a dark shadow on the work countless people have been doing to push equality and democracy for everyone- especially those most marginalized. On this week's episode, Nadine and Tarini discuss what this means on a larger scale. Women's bodies have been up for grabs in every facet of society. Whether it's media, fashion, politics, family, and society at large, women's bodies have been controlled in some way, shape, and form - and all of them are harmful. It is with a heavy heart they discuss the impact this has on women but specifically marginalized communities whose intersectional identities render them most vulnerable.

Even if you haven't kept up with it- you've kept up with it (just ask Tarini). The Amber Heard vs Johnny Depp trial has been all over social media and it seems that everyone has an opinion. On this week's episode, Tarini and Nadine discuss some of these opinions they've seen online. This trial got so messy in the court of social media, it's hard to tell what is what. Although the support seemed to be overwhelmingly in Depp's favour, the question of abuse from both sides is abundantly clear. What makes it murky is when people try to claim whose abuse is valid - and why. Listen to this week's episode as Nadine and Tarini *try* to not have an opinion on this case and unpack the many narratives being spread online about this highly publicized trial.

Nadine and Tarini are feeling anxious. What about? They're not sure. On this week's episode they talk about understanding the root cause of their anxiety, letting go of the “all or nothing” mindset, and question the famous saying: “what matters is the journey, not the destination” - isn't the destination what we're all working towards anyway? Also featured: Tarini's **packed** to-do list and an overstretched analogy involving airports and travel checkpoints. Listen wherever you get your podcasts, watch on YouTube at You Know What I Mean?

Surprise! We're back after a quick hiatus! Nadine talks about voting in the Lebanese elections for the first time with her family, leading to a conversation on the importance of staying political engaged in every election. Nadine cries at the polls (any poll! voting, instagram...etc), and Tarini asks everyone labelling themselves as "fiscally conservative, socially liberal" to stop. On a more serious note, they also discuss the killing of Palestinian icon and journalist, Shireen Abu Akleh, and the hypocrisy of the West's response when it comes to crises in Europe versus the rest of the world.

It was Nadine's birthday this week!!!! Which means she's one year closer to turning 30. While at one point that may have caused her anxiety (we just can NOT check the next box over on the doctor's office form that asks your age, IYKYK) with age comes wisdom and this year it's ~no big deal~ (in the tik tok voice because that's all Nadine speaks in, again IYKYK). On this week's episode, Nadine and Tarini also discuss entering your Saturn return - which happens when you enter 27. It's the time that Saturn returns into the same zodiac that it was in when you were born and is often a time that people go through big changes in their lives. Listen if you feel like you're also entering your Saturn return and feel like it's being unfair to you (it's not, it's growth!) or to learn about what it even is. Often in life we seek things that give us a sense of security or explanation when we're going through hard situations - one of those explanations could be your Saturn return (or this episode about it).

The pandemic taught us many things but one of the most important ones was the need to rest. On this week's episode, Tarini and Nadine discuss how rest as we know it has evolved over the course of the pandemic. It continues to do so, as things start to reopen and people look towards a “post pandemic” world. Both realities have brought about burnout - whether it's because of change, not enough connection, or too much connection. And if we aren't proactive, our bodies force us to rest. But rest isn't just taking a break- sometimes rest looks like doing more. More of what you enjoy, more of what gives you energy, more of what allows you to show up the way you want to (it could even be listening to YKWIM).

The devil works hard but Kris Jenner works harder. Which is probably why the Kardashians have finished (what feels like) their 100th season of Keeping Up With The Kardashians and, before that's even completed, launched their new show (we don't know what it is called because we have not kept up with the Kardashians). This week on YKWIM, Tarini and Nadine broach the world of the Kardashians. There's so much to unpack from the Variety interview to the infamous Pepsi commercial - Nadine and Tarini talk about the impact the Kardashian/ Jenner clan have had on society, their responsibility as mega stars, and our obsession with them as a society.

At this point, this podcast should be renamed to some version of The Secret. Nadine and Tarini are back this week with, as what should come as a surprise to absolutely no one, an episode is all about signs. Whether you believe in divine intervention or not, some “coincidences” make it hard to believe that things are, well, just that - a coincidence. Tarini and Nadine discuss the difference between manifestation vs a sign (there *is* a difference and they *definitely* know it), signs that they look out for in their own lives and what they mean, and how to look out for them in your own life. They're like life/ the universe/ whatever you believe in nudging you in the right direction. And if nothing else, it feels nice to know that someone or something out there has your back.

In Mumbai Taximen: Autobiographies and Automobilities in India (University of Washington Press, 2022), the first book-length study of Mumbai's taxi industry and of the livelihoods that surround it, Tarini Bedi draws from the lives and voices of chillia taxi drivers who have sustained a hereditary trade for more than a century. Bedi considers the Bombay taxi in all its forms: a material object that is driven, an economic and political connection, an expression of kinship, an embodiment of urban time and technology, and more. She illustrates how the accumulation of capital in this masculinized and mobile trade depends on forms of fixed domestic labor and an ethics of care, and how connections among these factors impact the production and reshaping of working-class personhood and laboring subjects. From beginning to end, the world of Mumbai automobility unfolds through depictions of the sensory, embodied, and political domains of taxi drivers' work. While most understandings of automobility remain tied to Western assumptions, patterns of driving, (sub)urbanization, and engagements with the road, realities in the Global South differ. Mumbai Taximen provides a correction to this imbalance from Mumbai through an timely exploration of South Asian social, material, political, labor, and technological histories and practices of motoring and automobility.

Last week, Nadine's credit card struck again and she bought another meet and great with an influencer. This one wasn't a one on one but a group q&a where people started asking… personal questions. Influencers are a new wave of celebrities. They're the version of celebrities we feel closer to, like they're accessible to us. Especially with social media, the line between the elite and us commoners has been blurred. On this week's episode, Tarini and Nadine talk about what happens when people start to feel (maybe too?) close to celebrities and influencers, like they might even be friends. While YouTube, tik tok, and Instagram have made it so that we are privy to all parts of influencers' lives, there's still etiquette to be maintained and boundaries to be upheld.

While it feels like we're out of the pandemic, we're actually not. And it's in fact quite the opposite- coronavirus remains raging across the world, mutating faster than Nadine can swipe her credit card (so you know it's fast). On this week's episode, Tarini and Nadine discuss this dissonance and how it's impacting our world - from big decisions we feel like we have to make because of this ~*uNpReCeDeNtEd TiMe*~, to retailers missing the mark and going out of business because they, too, can't figure out what's going on. 2020 BC (before coronavirus) is a time we all miss… but is it really? Nadine and Tarini talk about how while we think we want things to go back to “normal”, there's quite a lot we're actually okay leaving behind- and that's reflected in the choices we make. If the pandemic has taught us anything, it's that the only constant is change (and every decision you make doesn't have to be monumental- we're all just doing the best we can with what we have).

You know what they say, imitation is the greatest form of flattery. And it is, in a way. Inspiration is found everywhere and social media has made it so easy to be inspired. Whether it's other artists or even just content you see on people's platforms, it's a great way to stay on top of trends and follow what you like. But it also gets complicated when the line between inspiration and imitation start to blur. And while it can be flattering, it can also be dangerous. On this week's episode, Nadine and Tarini discuss everything from making money from “inspired” content all the way to the danger of copying of queer/ racialized/ creators from historically marginalized communities' work. Once again, they blame it on #capitalism (their favourite perpetrator) - but in the (social media) world in which we operate, we all have a responsibility to do better and be better.

Rituals are meant to calm us, keep us grounded, help our wellbeing- but what if they no longer serve that purpose? Enter Tarini and Nadine: lovers of rituals but haters of actually doing them lol. Okay, that's only half true and while they have definitely mastered the art of creating these so called complicated rituals, do they really need them? On this week's episode, Nadine and Tarini discuss why we have rituals, what they really mean, and what they've learned from their own. From bullet journaling to saje-ing they have tried it all and the only thing that's stuck is absolutely nothing. Love that for them.

This week's episode isn't one Tarini and Nadine thought they'd be recording. If you had told them even just a year ago that they'd be talking about the REAL secret (which is that the secret isn't real- iykyk) they'd have told you to stop speaking negativity into existence (lol they hate themselves too). But we are all about ✨growth✨ here at YKWIM and three years into a pandemic has given Nadine and Tarini time (too much, one might even say) to rethink just about everything. And one of those things is the power of manifestation and positive thinking.

New year SAME US and we're not mad about it. 2022 is straight up looking like 2020 take two- but maybe this is the year we finally learn that New Year's is not a big deal and we don't need to make a million resolutions to change into any better version of ourselves. It's just another day, another year and we're all doing our best. On this week's episode, Tarini and Nadine discuss what has already felt like the longest year and we're only halfway through January. The last few years have been extremely difficult for a lot of people. If you're somebody saying “2021 was my year!” that's amazing but please stop putting up your “year in reviews”- if Nadine hears that Bruno Mars and Adele remix tik tok again she's going to “chop her ears off” (her words). It's also okay if it wasn't your year - it wasn't Tarini and Nadine's year either (again, their words). And if the new year blues have hit hard this is the episode for you.

Nothing has us feeling more negative than a positive COVID test. When the emphasis for so long has been on what individuals need to do, it can feel like a personal failure when you see a positive test result but on this week's episode, Nadine and Tarini break down why that isn't true. Having COVID is hard enough, don't be harder on yourself! The complete mismanagement of the pandemic by global leaders (and you know how much Tarini and Nadine love ~global affairs~) has taken form in many ways but primarily in leaving us all vulnerable. From vaccine hoarding to prioritizing corporations, the world has lost the plot on the pandemic and unfortunately, we have to pay the price. New year, same Nadine and Tarini, starting off 2022 with an episode about the pandemic (you know what the say about old habits) - streaming on all major platforms, on YouTube @ You Know What I Mean?

The last episode of the season!!!! And of course it's about our favourite (worst) topic ever: the coronavirus. It's only fitting considering our first episode this season was about the pandemic, that it's also what the last episode is about. It's been a hard year and a half and the pandemic has infiltrated every part of our lives. On this week's episode, Tarini and Nadine discuss (as usual) the impact of the coronavirus on their life in light of things starting to open again. While everything came to a screeching halt in March 2020 and we had to adjust to the #lockdownlife, it gave us a lot (too much) of time to reflect. The slower pace put a lot in perspective- mainly, that pre-pandemic life was a little unsustainable. Recently though, perspectives regarding the coronavirus have seemed more hopeful. Vaccinations rates have increased (in the West) and life has started to resemble what we knew it to be. But it feels like just as we had gotten used to life in lockdown, we now have to get used to life “post” lockdown… and the roller coaster continues. Nadine is anxious, Tarini is optimistic, but just like the rest of the world, they really have no clue wtf is going on.

The pandemic put a lot of plans on hold but what if… hear us out… we were okay with them being on hold. Pre-pandemic life felt like a WILD time. Imagine doing ALL those things in one day - we literally cannot. And while a lot of things that got put on pause indefinitely during the pandemic were bad, some things weren't. On this week's episode, Nadine and Tarini start talking about their plans that were put on hold - mainly, to !!finally!! move out and move in together. But, in true Nadine and Tarini fashion, nothing is as easy as it seems. And if they can't have it all they don't want it at all. In all fairness though, there *is* more to it. Tarini and Nadine discuss the pressure they feel as children in immigrant households with different values, what that meant growing up, and also what that looks like for them in the future. Whether it's moving out, supporting your family, or staying in touch with your culture (take a shot every time Tarini says that in this episode), everything is not always as straightforward as it might first appear and in the wise words of Newton: every action has an equal and opposite reaction - and you can hear Tarini and Nadine discuss them all.

Today we are joined by Tarini Menezies and Roxann DeSouza, graduates of the Shanti Yoga Training School and currently based in India. Tarini and Roxanne are here to discuss what we can do as a community to step up and help India, giving back, and what yoga means to them today. Tarini and Roxann are yoga teachers based in Mumbai. Tarini was brought to yoga by her high-stress job in law. For Tarini, yoga is a way to channel anxiety and stress in a more helpful way. For Roxanne, this past year yoga has been a way to cope with anxiety for both old and new practitioners. When the pandemic started in India in January 2020, much like everywhere else, people didn't think it would be a big deal. Within a few weeks the country was in a lockdown that lasted for months. In January of 2021, the country started slowly opening up again. Since then, things have taken a drastic turn for the worse. Cases began increasing at a drastic rate, with variant cases appearing more often and more aggressively. There was also a huge increase in children and young people getting sick, along with people getting COVID-19 for the second time.

It seems like every time you turn on the news there's something new happening, and in the worst way. Nadine and Tarini have been trying to record this episode for weeks now but it's impossible to talk about any one tragedy that's taken place in the world without talking about them all - because they're all connected, also in the worst way. The structures of oppression that have maintained the occupation in Palestine are the same that continue to allow the occupation in Kashmir are the same that have allowed for Canada's history of colonization. It's important to draw parallels between these two in particular because it highlights the role the West has played in the narrative of the East. This week, Nadine and Tarini discuss today's global affairs (their favourite issue) and how to learn to acknowledge your own bias to start and dismantle the systems in which we operate that uphold oppression against marginalized communities.

There is a lot going on in the world right now, and it’s not easy to keep up on a good day, let alone when it feels like everything is on fire around you. This week’s episode is about how to avoid feeling overwhelmed while staying educated about global affairs (fun not fun game: take a shot every time someone says global affairs). Tarini and Nadine discuss the pressure social media puts on everyone - no matter how you’re engaging - to be doing it differently. It’s also made everyone the last word on everything, which is harmful for a whole different set of reasons. Staying vigilant and aware of what’s happening to the communities around you has certainly become easier with the rise of social media being used to disseminate news and raise awareness, but not without its challenges. Especially during *unprecedented times* like these, that continue to amaze us (in the worst way) with how unprecedented and precedented they truly are, somehow both at the same time, even consuming media can lead to burnout. Listen to hear Nadine and Tarini talk about what’s happening around the world and how they’re keeping up (and making it count). Follow along on Instagram @ykwim.pod, on YouTube at You Know What I Mean? Podcast, or wherever you like to stream your podcasts to listen to this week’s episode and catch up on ones you’ve missed.
Tbt to when Nadine and Tarini thought this pandemic would end “and once it’s over, we’ll wish we’d made better use of this time”. Over a year into the pandemic, and with the situation seemingly only getting worse worldwide, the only thing that’s becoming abundantly clear is that there is no longer a time in our lives that won’t be impacted by the pandemic. In fact, this pandemic has highlighted how society and societal institutions continue to fail communities most marginalized and that world leaders are not leading their countries with success. The devil works hard, but capitalism works harder. And that’s proven to be true even a worldwide pandemic. On this week’s episode, Tarini and Nadine discuss the global vaccine supply shortages, smear campaigns against different brands, and what the divide between who does and doesn’t have access to safe vaccination actually means. Unfortunately this pandemic won’t end until we learn to support those most vulnerable to economic and social downfall and the sooner we learn that, the better it will be for all of us. Until then, stay safe, stay home, and do what you can to stay sane!

Everyone’s been talking about Ginny and Georgia, namely Taylor Swift. After calling out the show and Netflix for a joke made against her in bad taste, instead of the show being held accountable, it instead got all the publicity it needed. As they say, no attention is bad attention. So on this week’s episode, Nadine and Tarini watched Ginny and Georgia and they have some thoughts (when do they not). This is an extra special episode because it’s the first time (!!!!!) that Nadine has actually watched, in its entirety, a show Tarini has told her to - that alone is worthy of an episode. Ginny and Georgia is about the relationship between a mom and daughter, and their experience in a new town called Wellsbury. From relationships to murder to destigmatizing mental health and women’s sexuality, this show literally tries to do it all - a jack of all trades but a master of none is how Tarini would sum it up in a sentence. Some things it does well, some things it misses the mark on, but what’s for sure is that it’s a Netflix algorithm hit. Listen to this episode if you’ve watched the show or if you’re wondering whether you should and looking for something new to start during the third (!!!!!!!) lockdown in Ontario.

This week’s episode brings a special guest to YKWIM! Meet Haniya - a second year resident physician in the Obstetrics and Gynaecology program at the University of Toronto. She holds a Bachelor of Health Sciences from McMaster University and a Master of Science in Systems Leadership and Innovation from the University of Toronto, which she completed as a LEAD Scholar. In her off time, she teaches a part-time introductory course on the fundamentals of global health at McMaster University, and indulges in new ice-creams spots, short and long walks, and the latest Netflix shows. Anyone who has ever listened to one of Nadine and Tarini’s conversations knows they love to talk about everything health and wellness. But with so much information (and so many opinions) that women are constantly bombarded with, it’s not always to tell fact from fiction. That’s why Haniya is here to chat with Tarini and Nadine about women’s health as it relates to women today. From contemporary issues (do women in their twenties need to worry about freezing their eggs?) to old wives tales (cranberry juice cures UTIs!), they discuss it all. The health care world is an important space in which, like many others, women’s specific needs are not always acknowledged. Health equity remains a big challenge that this episode touches upon, and especially how the pandemic has exacerbated the need to focus on women’s health - now more than ever.

March is International Women’s History Month and this past Monday we celebrated International Women’s Day. The fight for women’s equality is a definitely nothing new. It’s a tale as old as Adam and Eve - and, in fact, this week’s episode discusses just that. The oppression of women dates back to the beginning of seemingly all religion and is woven deeply in all societal institutions - no one and nothing is immune. From politics to everyday interactions, women are constantly having to fight for a way to the top - and then it’s another fight to actually get to the top. Forget the top, it’s a battle to get anywhere - figuratively and literally. Whether it’s catcalling or the systemic disenfranchisement of women, join Tarini and Nadine as they discuss the importance of this day and month, and what it means to them as women with intersectional identities. The good news? Because the ill treatment of women goes so far and so deep, finding ways to support women is easier and more accessible than ever. Support women artists, shop from stores owned by women, and if nothing else, speak up in front of your friends, family, peers, and coworkers when you hear something that’s not right. Let’s all start holding each other accountable and start paying women (literally and figuratively) what they’re owed. Follow along on Instagram @ykwim.pod, watch on YouTube at You Know What I Mean?

The truest form of self care is learning more about yourself - and we all know how much YKWIM loves self care. There are a million tests you can take online (the Myers-Briggs, Enneagram type, to name a few) that we take the easy route by letting these online quizzes tell us about ourselves instead of figuring it out on our own. This week’s episode was supposed to be about love languages - another quiz you can take online, but what is more important than loving yourself? This week, Nadine and Tarini discuss how hard the pandemic has been (surprise surprise) and how the need for self care is more important now than ever. Taking quizzes are super fun (it’s literally what Buzzfeed has built its following upon) but relying on them can actually be detrimental towards our actual process of ~self discovery~. We’re constantly changing, growing, and reacting to the events around us (like the pandemic!!!) that impact us in ways we only understand by truly being connected to ourselves. Take this as a sign to do something for, and become closer with, yourself. Listen on all major streaming platforms and follow on Instagram @ykwim.pod or watch on YouTube at You Know What I Mean?

This episode we chat with the loveliest soul, miss Tarini from Canberra. We love when our guests go on their tangents and this episode was full of them. Tarini released her first ever song in November last year called 'Do You Wanna Dance' and we chat with her all about the struggles of putting out your first works of music and how her career began sining in another language.
... at least during a pandemic. But it seems like everyone’s sticking to the original version because every time we log on to Instagram, there is without a doubt a new person flying to Mexico (Ted Cruz, Ontario finance minister, that girl from your highschool who thinks she’s an influencer, actual influencers) - the list goes on. On this week’s episode, Nadine and Tarini discuss the two kinds of vacationers during the pandemic - the one who thinks they’re in an ad for itravel2000 and those who enter the witness protection program before boarding their flight. But on a serious note, this pandemic has hit those with structural and societal inequities stacked against them the most. While those communities fight for basic rights like food, shelter, and safety for themselves and their families, it seems a little tone deaf to be travelling to “take a break” from the pandemic. No doubt it’s been hard on everyone in many different ways, but putting yourself (and others!) in covid’s line of sight is definitely not helping anyone. So as the Ontario government concisely put it: we’re opening the economy but STAY AT HOME but the mall is open but STAY AT HOME but restaurants are open but STAY AT HOME. Want more YKWIM?

This Thursday was #BellLetsTalk Day - a term coined by Bell Media to dedicate a day to raising awareness about mental health. For every share, repost, and retweet, the company donates five cents towards mental health programs. While this may seem like an altruistic initiative at first, programs started by large corporations rarely are. The very fact that Bell Media - one of Canada’s largest telecommunications companies started #BellLetsTalk by pledging ten cents for every share, and has now dropped it to five cents as the initiative gained momentum, says it all. This week, Nadine and Tarini discuss what #BellLetsTalk has become, what is represents, and whether or not it actually does what it claims to - raise awareness and break the stigma around mental health. Notably, this week’s episode also has the worst connection issues to date, and Bell is Tarini and Nadine’s wifi service provider. Coincidence? We think not. The FBI agents are always listening and as Nadine says on this episode, “capitalism supports capitalism”. Want to know more?
