The one about the recent UK Race Riots, which were for some reason called "protests." What was being protested? How did POCs feel in the lead up to the riots and now, in the aftermath? Did we win the fight against racism? Expect to hear takes on that and an introduction to the Southall Race Riots which took place in 1979 (FYI Raj Pander is a Southall Girl and will never shut up about it).

Judd Apatow has mentioned that 40 year olds have a tendency to re-watch "This Is 40," so now that I'm 3 months into my 40th era, I thought why not? Join me as I figure out how turning 40 in 2012 compares to hitting that milestone in 2024. I totally forgot Leslie Mann's character was OBSESSED with telling everyone she was younger than her actual age, so I asked the squad to tell me about the times they've lied about how old they are. We also get into being a Mum in your 40s...
I've decided I'm DONE with overpriced concert tickets (erm hello hi Diljit Dosanjh) and I want Gen Z to keep some of our secrets (they're really outing us for using the thumbs up emoji as a silent f*** you). Ummm and why is a child getting nail extensions at the nail salon. Come on, let us have nice things sometimes.

Mattel and The Design Museum are celebrating 65 years of Barbie this year. So (insert Carrie voice here) I couldn't help but wonder... what would be different for us if we grew up without Stereotypical Barbie beauty standards? And is the doll Ruth Handler created with her daughter in mind really responsible for shero worshipping blonde hair, blue eyes, and being super slim?
There are rants about representation, chats about colourism, why everyone wanted to be Baby Spice in the 90s, why it's so damn hard to find a South Asian Barbie and MORE

Raj Pander and friends get into Bridget Jones... Is Bridge REALLY a problematic character? Surely the fuck not.
Aaaannnddd she gets into Bridget's and her own relationship with her weight... So she's decided to ask herself (and her people) what their weight has held them back from. If that wasn't enough, Raj has been enlightened by the Love Island Samantha/Joey/Grace scenario that she now backs the "if he wanted to he would" theory 100 percent. Does everyone else back it though?

This is a Taylor Swift Eras Tour SPECIAL baby!
Raj is off to see TayTay in Liverpool so she's having conversations based on some of her favourite ERAS. We get into what everyone is still doing now, that they once thought they would be too old to do (we're all still feeling 22 and Red), how life would be different if we were men (shout out to The Man), our thoughts on Karma (Midnights is my favourite) and cutting off friends when there's bad blood (1989).

Raj Pander is phuckin 40 and she's lost her voice. It turns out that even though she wanted to do nothing for her 40th, her friends had other plans...
Raj gets into the representation of women in their late 30s/early 40s in film as according to the internet, Anne Hathaway is "too hot" to play a 40 year old in The Idea Of You, even though she's 41. And apparently, being 40 means she shouldn't be wearing "shoulder bearing" dresses. Has anyone ever see Moonstruck? There 's some Met Gala tea. Raj tries to figure out why she didn't want to do anything for her 40th, so she's asked her friends how they plan to celebrate theirs and what they thought 40 would look like vs what it actually will look like...
