  • Ruchi Page on a Body That’s Meant to Be
    Apr 16 2025
    Writer and digital creator Ruchi Page joins SBS Spice on the long, messy journey of making peace with your body. Growing up as a brown girl in a predominantly white town, Ruchi learned early on how body image is shaped not just by mirrors, but by the people we love, the cultures we come from, and the spaces we’re told we don’t belong in. In this conversation with Dilpreet Kaur Taggar, we talk about softness, shame, and the power of real storytelling — both online and in Butterfly Foundation’s new campaign The Changing Room, which Ruchi is part of. Listen now on SBS Spice, wherever you get your podcasts.

  • Urooj & Anirban: Funny, Foreign & Political in Australia
    Apr 14 2025
    What makes a joke travel? Urooj Ashfaq and Anirban Dasgupta, two of India’s most distinctive comedy voices, are touring Australia and figuring that out in real time. From navigating diaspora nerves to resisting the pressure to “perform Indian-ness,” they talk about what lands, what doesn’t, and how the rules of the stage shift depending on where you are—and where you’re from. In the lead-up to their Sydney Comedy Festival show, they join Dilpreet Kaur Taggar on SBS Spice to unpack silence, self-censorship, and the strange freedom that comes with being funny far from home.

    Not your aunty’s idea of stand-up. Daizy Maan and Niv Prakasam are carving out space on Australia’s biggest comedy stages with Brown Women Comedy—one sharp, subversive set at a time. They join Suhayla Sharif to chat about the politics of palatability, turning silence into laughter, and what happens when you take your story and make it the punchline (on your own terms).
