In this week’s episode, we get into Jailer 2 and discuss whether the sequel will be a success. We also talk about Chinese horror content creator Jiang Xiaorou, who debunked superstitions on camera and died in a road accident, just as a fortune teller had predicted. Finally, we share the superstitions we grew up with, the ones we still follow, and our own stories, including a KL Airbnb where we wer...

In this week's episode, we give our honest take on Suriya and Jyotika's vow renewal in Scotland and what social media does to our expectations of marriage. Nobody posts about fighting with their partner, so people end up measuring their own relationship against a highlight reel. We also discuss why our sons run to their mothers and not us, how we are working on our tone of voice, and the t...

Parithaabangal! This week, we discuss our favourite emo Tamil songs, ranging from emo love songs to general emo songs that resonate with us the most. We also discuss Sai Abhyankkar's Radhima, Yuvan Shankar Raja's magic, and much more. Enjoy the episode, and let us know what your favourite emo songs are!

This week we debate the recent pay raise for Singapore's political leaders. Why does the country pay its leaders this much in the first place? Part of it is attracting people who could earn far more elsewhere, part of it is keeping the system clean. But here's the thing. As NSFs we were paid a fraction of that and told it was our duty to serve the nation. So why doesn't that same argument apply bo...

In this episode of Vada Poche Tamil Podcast, we discuss the best Indian drink pairings for the perfect Indian meal. We argue it out over Bru vs Nescafé and share our honest opinions on Neslo. Plus, we explore which Western dish Bru would work best with and much more. Join in the conversation and let us know your thoughts!

In this episode of Vada Poche Tamil Podcast, we get into male fashion, especially whether accessories and Jewellery make a man feminine, where that idea came from, and why something that once signalled nobility now gets questioned. We also get into the etiquette side, like why you don't button the bottom button on a suit, and whether rules like that still mean anything. Should fashion be updat...

In this episode of Vada Poche Tamil Podcast, we get into something we've never really spoken about on here. What sets off our anxiety, what we think it goes back to, and the bits of childhood that shaped us more than we realised. None of us have a diagnosis. All of us know the feeling anyway. Some of us have found a way through it. Some of us are still figuring it out. We're not experts and this i...

Sharif called Vijay Sethupathi a typecast actor. Bharath did not take it well. That one line turned into a whole episode. Is being typecast actually a bad thing, or is it just what happens when an actor is very good at one thing? We argue it out, and go further, is Rajini typecast too? We also hit a million views on Instagram this week, and talk about why we are not really celebrating it. Plus a q...

In this episode of Vada Poche Tamil Podcast, we sit down with Jacquilin Lucas aka JQueen and Dinesh Kumar aka Dacalty , two of the names pushing Tamil rap forward right now. We get into their journeys, what shaped their sound, and the state of rap culture in India and where Tamil rap sits inside it. Plus a rapid fire round, and everything you need to know about Urban Gethu, where you can catch the...

This week, we have two very special guests with us. The OGs of Tamil Hip Hip Yogi B and Emcee Jesz are in the studio! We get into Vallavan and the stories behind the tracks, the early days when nobody was checking for Tamil rap, and what they make of the new generation coming through. Plus a proper debate on whose biryani wins between Malaysia, Singapore and Chennai, and everything you need to kno...

Sharif brought biryani to the studio. Ten minutes later we were arguing about whether Singapore can still cook it properly. We ranked our top 3 in each category — nasi biryani (the local Malay-style version), dum biryani, and South Indian. Then we got into why standards here are slipping, whether home-based cooking is the real future of F&B, and what happens to food businesses when the new Sin...

One of us was disgusted. The other wasn't impressed. Nobody agreed. This week Yuva and Bharath get into Indian food combinations, the pairings we swear by and the ones that make people stare. Veg, non-veg, and the hybrid combos that shouldn't work but somehow do. Some of these genuinely put Yuva off his food. Others were too plain to win Bharath over. Before that, we pick up where we left off on T...

We went to Tekka for a meal and walked out disappointed. And it got us asking a bigger question. Tekka, the heart of Singapore's Little India, where generations of Indian Singaporeans have eaten and grown up is changing. New kinds of food moving in, the old feel slipping away. Jawhar and Bharath talk about what's gained and what's lost. Then it gets personal: when a relative or friend...

Some roads in Singapore and Malaysia, people simply refuse to drive at night. This week we found out why. It's our spookiest episode yet. Jawhar and Yuva get into the stories behind Karak Highway and Devil's Bend, the legends, the sightings, and the ones that are a little too consistent to laugh off. Before that, they go in on Obsession, the horror film everyone's talking about, and en...

Pritam Singh is no longer Leader of the Opposition. But he's still leading the Workers' Party. Should he be? That's the question Singapore has been arguing about, so this week we sat with it properly. We're not here to tell you what to think. We lay out the arguments on both sides, talk through what we understand and what we don't, and share where we honestly land. Then we swit...

⚠️ Content note: this episode includes a frank discussion of abusive relationships and may be heavy for some listeners. Please take care. Why does someone stay in an abusive relationship? And why does the person hurting them so often walk away fine? It started with Jawhar and Bharath reading unhinged Reddit stories and it turned into one of the most honest conversations we've had. We talk abou...

This week on the Vada Poche Tamil Podcast, we continue where we left off from part 1 with the three fathers for an honest, no-filter discussion about fatherhood. Hosted by Bharath, they dive into the highs, the highers, and the lows of parenting, from sleepless nights to cultural clashes in discipline. If you've ever questioned your parenting choices or wondered how other dads handle the same stru...

Is co-sleeping with your children doing more harm than good? Is Asian parenting more effective than Western parenting? This week on the Vada Poche Tamil Podcast, three fathers gather for an honest, no-filter discussion about fatherhood. Hosted by Bharath, they dive into the highs, the highers, and the lows of parenting, from sleepless nights to cultural clashes in discipline. If you've ever qu...

He was already a TV judge in Singapore. Then he flew to Chennai to compete on Super Singer and people told him to go home. This week we sit down with singer Pravin Saivi , one of the first international contestants on Vijay TV's Super Singer, who left Singapore for India and built a music career that's taken him from a tiny pub in Tekka all the way to Wembley Arena with SPB. We get into th...

This week is a story about men, emotion, and the masks we wear. Sharif and Jawhar unpack Karuppu, Suriya's blockbuster that's already the highest-grossing Tamil film of 2026. Then the conversation gets real: the boys dig into Jayam Ravi (now Ravi Mohan), his name change, the divorce, his recent press conference after the break up with Kenishaa and the bigger question about men's mental health in t...

What does it actually take to serve a community and what does a doctor see that a politician might miss? In this episode, Jawhar, Sharif, and Yuva sit down with Dr. Hamid Razak , orthopaedic surgeon, and MP for West Coast GRC for a wide-ranging conversation that goes well beyond the title. They cover mental health advocacy, what really happens during ground work, youth anxiety around jobs and soci...

In this episode, Bharath and Yuva break down the music of  Sai Abhyankkar⁩ , rank his best tracks and explains why his music his similar to Eminem. Then things get spicy: the boys rank Tamil music directors head-to-head, and Yuva makes the case for   G. V. Prakash Kumar being criminally underrated. Pure music talk, zero filter, and the kind of honest debate only your favourite Tanglish podcast del...
