S2 Ep 8: A Letter to Our 18-Year-Old Selves

"I wish I could tell 18-year-old Maanvi to focus on exercise." That's what one of us thought while doing yoga on a Monday morning. By Tuesday, our Whatsapp chat were filled with similar lists of what we wished we could go back in time and tell our 18-year-old selves. So, we did a little time travel (Ha! We wish.) Instead, we just recorded a podcast episode and found us giving advice to our younger selves on eating what you want, fitting in, not caring about what people say, and just living lives. What do you wish you could tell your 18-year-old self? Tell us! Find us on Instagram at @theoversmartgirlspodcast. Or, you could email us at tosgpodcast@gmail.com.

S2 Ep 7: Reporting the Apocalypse ft. Asmita Nandy

Trigger warning: Distressing news.  April 2021 ha snot been an easy month for anyone. If you haven't had someone personally affected by the virus, or lost a loved one, you know someone who has. As a country, we're collectively grieving; while other elements of the apocalypse (ahem, government) are in full throttle. You can switch off to take a break. But if you're a journalist whose job is to keep your eyes open, what do you do? How do you cope? In this episode, we speak to Asmita Nandy (@asmitanandy on Instagram) and her experience on reporting on COVID in villages far away from the spotlight.

S2 Ep 6 : Stree(t)s & the City ft. Niraly

Who does a city belong to? Why shouldn't a street be where a woman feels most herself? How can we make cities not only safe for women, but also, comfortable for women? And finally, with the Central Vista project bringing up the question of public spaces in Delhi, how can a city be made more equitable and free for all? We spoke to Niraly, an architect, urban planner and co-host of "Colouring on Walls" podcast, to answer these questions and more! | Say hi to us at @theoversmartgirlspodcast on Instagram or email us at tosgpodcast@gmail.com.

S2 Ep 5: An Ode to Joy

It's another Sunday...in the middle of another apocalypse. The Oversmart Girls return to explore deja-vu and nostalgia, the unfortunate consequence of what happens when grammar falls into the hands of a middle-school English teacher, reading murder mysteries for stress-relief, and everything else that gives them happiness and hope as the world falls apart...again.

S2 Ep 4: Learning For Life (Over WiFi) ft. Neelakshi Tewari

Online classes, study abroad plans in array, students struggling, and teachers who are tired of seeing a Zoom screen — the pandemic has changed how we study. But why are we still stuck in traditional ways of teaching, and assessing students? What does being a student studying in college in 2021 feel like? Why are colleges insisting on going ahead with exams, when most students (and adults) are trying to piece their lives post-pandemic? What's the logic behind the "kids will fall behind" argument? And why can't we, in unprecedented times, ease off the pressure in schools and colleges? We got Neelakshi Tewari (@nixtewari), a researcher and PhD student on higher-ed at Arizona State University, to answer these questions, and more.   Got some ideas on what else we can talk about?
