This episode discusses interfaith and interracial marriages within our South Asian community and how and why we tend to shy away from and shun these types of relationships due to the stigmas attached of marrying outside of the community. We also have the opportunity to chat with a happily mixed married couple, Fareena Lalani and Carlos Torruella, who share their story of how they met, the challenges they encountered both internally and externally, as well as the advice they have for parents and others that may be facing the idea of interfaith and interracial marriages in their own close knit cultural circles.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
