Lisää Policy, Pop & Dumplings

We are two Indian third-culture women who became friends over a shared love of global affairs, East Asian dramas, and K-pop. Our feeds are a mix of policy articles, fan edits, and drama theories — and somewhere between late-night scrolling and endless DMs, we realized we had a lot to say. This podcast is where we bring those conversations to life, with debates, deep dives, and plenty of hot takes about identity, power, and culture.

Chinamaxxing: How has the world found itself in a very Chinese time of their lives?

Hot water over iced lates. Slippers indoors. Traditional medicine over Western pharmaceuticals. Why is everyone suddenly romanticizing Chinese lifestyle choices—and why does it feel political? This week, Gunjan and Paroma unpack Chinamaxxing through the lens of shifting cultural power. From Fareed Zakaria and Jon Stewart on Western liberalism’s fraying moral authority to bell hooks on “eating the other,” we ask: is this appreciation, appropriation, or something stranger? A geopolitical vibe shift disguised as wellness trends? When choosing herbal tea over coffee starts to feel like picking a side, what does that say about whose culture holds capital now?

Culture Debrief for the Year of the Horse: Babies, Bangers & 10-Second Attention Spans

In this episode, we ramble on about what actually defined 2025 for us and our feeds - birth-rate panic, short feeds, intense fandoms, and taste flexing as the new status symbol. We also talk about how K-systems are quietly influencing everything from music to streaming to soft power. If 2025 felt chaotic, this is the breakdown for everything that happened and everything we are gearing up for.

jakson The Hierarchy Trap: Beyond Bullying kansikuva

The Hierarchy Trap: Beyond Bullying

Across East Asia, school, barracks, and work often run on rank, rivalry, and endurance. In this episode we n trace how South Korea’s mandatory military service, Japan’s senpai-kohai culture, and China’s exam pressure shape what “strength” and “justice” look like for young people. We discuss why bullying and revenge narratives resonate, and how pop culture can turn private harm into public debate and try wrapping our heads around what it would take to build real belonging instead of fear.
