Iqbal gets really excited in this episode as he and Sharrif Salleh, a former political researcher, discuss the journey of a Malaysian man from Ipoh, Ian Miles Cheong, going from internet notoriety as one of the first Reddit moderators to be banned from the site, to internet infamy as one of the most well known right-wing, conservative pundits on American politics, despite him not actually even living in America, not being American, and as some allege, never having even been to America.

Shafiqah Othman, a writer and artist who publishes on her own website, ShafiqahOthman.com, and on Medium. Shafiqah shares her experience going from avowed hatred of K-Pop, to mild acceptance, when she discovers her husband is a K-Pop fan himself, to full-fledged K-Pop fanaticism when she starts discovering her own passion for the genre which helped us understand why so many other fans have made the same journey, and how K-Pop managed to take over the world.

Welcoming our first guest to the podcast is Natasha Shazana, the founder of SOKO [as in soko(ng)], an intimate apparel brand based in Malaysia which prioritises comfort and real women representation. As a mother of two (cats), a wife of one (husband), and a daughter of an outstanding couple, Natasha is readjusting to the KL-life having moved here from the Big Apple (NYC). In this episode, Natasha shares her thoughts on a concept that we often face but seldom hear, the "mental load". Join your hosts, Iqbal and Azielia, and Natasha as they find out what the mental load is about, why so many couples still deal with this problem, and what the solution might be - even if there is a 100% chance some people might take this problem as just overthinking!
We would like to thank Natasha for revealing her secrets.
Topics discussed in this episode are:
* What is the mental load?
* Why does it discriminate between genders?
* Why is there an expectation for some to take on a heavier mental load than others?
* The guest shares her personal experience on the matter
* How do we overcome it?Social media links:
