In this week's episode, we call bullshit on the saying that 'People don't change'. Unlike tigers, we can definitely change our proverbial stripes, and the episode dives into the science that supports this as well. We talk about neuroplasticity, what makes people change, the way to make lasting changes in who we are, how Hogwart's house system might be slightly problematic (sorry but not sorry JK R...

In this week's episode, my guest, Andrea Varsha and I had a little bit of fun, talking about online dating, the murkiness of trust when making virtual connections, the possible gendered differences in social media usage, getting d**k pics, and so much more. We shared some personal stories, and had many laughs while recording this. Hope you all have just as much fun listening to it!  As always...

In this episode, we're calling bullshit on the notion that we can't ask for what we want because people will think of us and being too difficult, and that it will make us unattractive. This one goes out to all my folks raised in ethnic minority communities, especially my South Asian ladies, who have been told all our lives, that we will not be able to find love if we are expressive and ask for the...

We're back! Starting the season off with a solo episode (dw, the next ones will have guests), and this episode, we're calling bullshit on the notion that we need to have our shit together or be really good at something before we feel like our efforts are worth others' time and attention. Talking about the crippling fear a lot of us face, at some point in our lives, to live up to the expectation of...

The third episode of our Astrology series is here, and this time its TWIN ENERGY! We continue calling bullshit on the idea that people are one-dimensional and can be described by one sign or personality trait. We learn more about the signs that help some people shine more than others in the big screen, how Hermoine Granger might've been a Virgo and nature v.s. nurture. There's a lot of Zoe calling...

It finally happened! The 2 hippies talked about spirituality and religion! Literally no one is surprised.  In this episode, we call bullshit on the idea of people using God or religion as an excuse to harm/oppress others, to enforce their views on others and just be a-holes, basically. As usual, we went off track a little, talked about the LGBTQ+ identity & pride, drooled a little over Asian male...

This week's episode is a little different. We did a Q&A session, answering all the questions you'd sent to us on IG (@thebullshitpropaganda_podcast). As usual, there was some rambling and tangents that were taken, but we're proud to say we stayed on track. Mostly. We also called bullshit on antivaxxers, got a little (a lot) DARK, and probably offended a lot of people. As usual, we critiqued some o...

This week, we're calling bullshit on the notion that periods and menstruations are "dirty", that they are private topics, only to be discussed behind closed doors. We talk about period products, pads vs tampons, cramps, period leaves, the role of privilege, and the tabooing of menstrual and sexual health topics in our society. We also veer into sex and virginity, especially in women, and the impor...

It's almost the end of Taurus season and we're back with another instalment of our Astrology series. Calling bullshit on the idea that astrology is a hoax. We also talk about how there are multiple sides to everyone, the idea of being "fake" vs just warming up to people, love languages, how there are 2 sides to everything, and so much more. Suba who is Taurus moon also gets put on a little bit of...

It took us only 17 episodes to get here, but we're finally talking about racism, police brutality, internalised racism, colonialism and so much more. We call bullshit on racism, those especially directed against brown people in Malaysia and the recent case of Mr A Ganapathy that has sparked a fair amount of attention on social media. We also talk about the history of colonialism and the Social Con...

In this week's episode, your favourite chaotic co-hosts are back with another discussion about gender norms and stereotypes, but this time, specifically talking about DATING!! Yes, we are finally delving a little more into the ever sensational topic of relationships and romance. We question the idea that men should make the first move, pay for the date, be more financially secure, and all the pres...

It's Aries season and we thought it'd be a perfect place to begin our journey of calling bullshit on the people who say magic doesn't exist! In all seriousness, Zoe (@zoe.nj) and Suba (@subashiniraj) talk about their own takes on astrology, aliens, flat earthers, and so much more. We obviously see eye to eye on so much but this is one of the topics where we might see it in slightly different ways....

Aaaaand we're back! In this first episode of season 2, there's no bullshit being called out, but definitely a lot of laughs and crazy stupid energy going around. There's an exciting announcement that's going to be a pretty big change in how the show is done, a little more insight into the people behind the scenes and a tiny preview of the episodes lined up for this season!! As always, feel free to...

Welcome to the last episode of season 1!! This time, I'm back with another solo episode, talking about something personal to me, for a change. My story with having an "eating disorder". I also get a little bit into the different types of disorders, the distinction between disorders and disordered behaviour, the role of weight in beauty and spirituality and so much more waffling. If you are curious...

In this week's episode, Youtuber & content creator Tanesh Vijayagomaran (IG: @taneshh10) talk about the realities of being a social media person/influencer, the hidden struggles, the role of privilege and circumstance, passion vs hard work, and so much more. Being old friends, we also caught up a little bit and just had a fun chat. So, if any of that sounds appealing to you, press play aaaaaand ha...

In this second part of a 2-part episode, Kane Rogers (IG @kane.m.rogers) continue our conversation about his experience being abused in a romantic relationship, the role of therapy in his healing, the role of masculinity and femininity within attraction, the importance of validation, differences in male and female coping mechanisms, socially acceptable displays of emotions and so much more. As alw...

In this week's episode, we finally have on our first male guest, Kane Rogers. This is part 1 of a 2 part episode, recounting an abusive relationship from the less heard of perspective. Kane opens up about his experience being in toxic romantic relationship and a victim of abuse. We talk about gaslighting, patterns of behaviour within abuse, age-gaps, the role of power dynamics and so much more. Th...

Here with another solo rant. This week, I call bullshit on our constant need to be tough and to repress emotions, especially in Asian cultures. I get into the toxic work culture, the role of the industrial revolution and how we might be looking at our worth in society. So, this episode might bring up more questions than it answers, and if that's the case, I've done my job! Please continue question...

Look who's actually sticking to their upload schedule! In this week's episode, I'm joined by a future medicine woman and current QUEEN, Fatin Daud (IG: @fatinndaud). We call bullshit on the idea that healthy bodies have to look a certain way and fit into that model you see on instagram & tv. That people who look like they've got it together, may not really be all that healthy and the importance of...

I'M BACK! I know, it's been a while since my last episode, but I'm happy to be back and putting out content, starting with a topic near and dear to me; MENTAL HEALTH. In this episode, I take you through my own mental health journey and my personal experiences with therapy. But I also call out the mystification and the 'this one thing will fix me' mentality a lot of us hold, especially around thera...

2020 is coming to an end and this podcast is now 2 months old!! To commemorate, this week we have a shorter and slightly different format going on. I call bullshit on New Year's resolutions, the progress & growth mindset and the importance of reflection. I hope that this will be an informational and entertaining listen and a reminder to celebrate yourself. As always, feel free to send us a DM...

In this week's episode, fellow environmental enthusiast Divya Parkash (IG: @non.plvs.vltra) and I chat about living an environmentally conscious life and how it can be budget and time friendly, the lie about recycling, the influence growing up in Asia had on our ability to conserve resources, gifts and the holiday season, and so much more. I had such a fun time having this conversation and am so h...

In this week's episode my guest and good friend (@eliorkid) stuck to the topic of dance (and music) but we kind of got off the calling bullshit/ questioning the social narrative a little bit. We still did raise some really good WHYs on the dance and performance industry in Malaysia, the perception certain people might have about the validity of pursuing a career in the arts, misrepresentations in...

The devil's in the details! Which you can bet Zoe (IG: @zoe.nj) and I took the long way around to, because we are both ranters and struggle to keep on topic. Still, in this continuation of last week's discussion into gender and sexuality, we clarified some of the terms we introduced in the previous one, answered some of your questions from our poll on IG stories (i.e. what is the difference betwee...
