In this episode we talk about faith, spirituality and religion. Whatever term you coin to talk about this thing of getting connected with your mind and the senseless universe around us. That is what we talk about in this episode. The truth is, it's not something we talk about very often and that's because it's often very personal, fluid and difficult to put into words most of the time. Each person has their own style...

In this episode we have the pleasure to be able to talk to Jenny Lau, the Founder and Chief Peach of Celestial Peach which is a platform that explores veganism, eating for longevity and to reconnect with parts of your inherited identity via Chinese food. The joys (and by that we definitely mean PAINS) of remote recording during a pandemic meant that Jem couldn’t be a part of this episode but if you missed her on this one keep watch...

Welcome back everyone! We’re so excited to be bringing you Season 2 of the Rice is Rice podcast. We’ve had a really nice and long break which left us time to think about how we’re doing things and whether we can keep it up. After our 50+ episodes-long first “season” we want to start bringing a ”quality-over-quantity’ energy to the table. Stay tuned and keep up to date with our weekly episodes for Season 2 of Rice is Rice.

This week we talk about something that's another common experience amongst the Asian diaspora; Guilt. Guilt is built up inside of us and passed from generation to generation. It can be a really big problem so it's important that we talk about it, acknowledge it and think about ways we can manage it.

In this episode, we talk about the different labels for different types of toxic masculinity and our encounters with these different types. DISCLAIMER: Yes, we know! Not all men and boys would fit into these labels and everyone has their own nuances. It's safe to assume that when we talk about the males in this episode we are generalising the types very broadly.
