Amanda Knox hangs with Aneri Shah and talks about what really happened in Italy, how the world spun it into an orgy that wasn't real, and what it takes to forgive your persecutors (and yourself). We cover slut-shaming, metta-meditation, masturbating in prison, and asking your male friends for baby juice. You know, all the regular bases when it comes to true crime. In a first-of-it's-kind beyond the headlines episode, we get to see who Amanda Knox truly is. Not quite a former prisoner or sexua...
Rangeela Dance Company director (and physical therapist) Priyanka Vora joins Aneri to giggle over her onstage moment with Hrithik Roshan, one of the hottest Bollywood stars on the planet, talk about sensuality and desire, and wonder how the next generation will carry on our culture.
Aneri and Aishwarya Sonar, a producer (Lambe Log Productions!) who splits her time between LA and India, discuss drinking your friend’s titty milk (on purpose), being punished for a nose ring, and the stripper songs that defined their teenage years.
And through it all, they couldn’t help but wonder. How did two girls from conservative Indian and Mormon upbringings end up here? From blurting out “I’m gay” post–egg freezing to full-blown postpartum ego death, Aneri goes deep with Whitney Uland (a life coach for celebrities—yes, really) on queerness, abortion and postpartum as strategy tests, and what you gain (and lose!!!) from breaking the f*ck open and away from their OG communities.
Sometimes, your AI clone will get better gigs. That's just how it be sometimes. In this unique episode, I dive deep with Parth Patil—AI innovator behind Reid Hoffman's viral avatar—to yap about how writers (with our big, chaotic imaginations) are poised to become the next universe builders, why multidimensional storytelling is the new wave, and how as neurodivergent weirdos, we finally feel unsevered in the new world. Bye old world (but maybe we'll keep a few lil scraps). Cue excitement, a li...
In this second conversation - because they can't shut up - Aneri and Priya dive into dating while creative, navigating emotional intelligence between genders, and the freedom that comes with choosing your own path—whether that means sperm donors, chosen family connections, or sitting silently across from someone who takes a 20-minute phone call during your coffee meeting.
From ditching their jobs in finance and tech, to peeing in saris, to elevating the South Asian community in LA through comedy, the inimitable Priya Mehta and Aneri Shah explore dating while desi, non-traditional career paths, and their thoughts on having kids.
Actress, dancer, and storyteller Sharayu Mahale and Aneri banter on authentic stories being universally resonant, falling in love with shows like Ramy and We Are Lady Parts (umm we love you Nida Manzoor) and how auditioning for something on a "whim" while also being a disciplined kween is what led to her debut on Broadway with Life of Pi.
Music director Henry Koperski and storyteller Aneri Shah discuss staying up all night with a good kisser, the fortuitous appearance of Caroline Ray, and the much needed evolution of style for Michigan gays. These two have been friends & co-creators for 12 years, transcending space and time through their creative connection.
Artist & designer Ragni Agarwal talks about how threading is painful *every time*, why shame is fake, and dating as a neurodivergent goddess. Link on YouTube.

With two of our subbiest subs, we discuss growing up Swaminarayan, the pressures of being “Mandeer match” material, and why romance between friends is peak.
