    A pandemic, multiple changes in the law, ups and downs in our lives, numerous online recordings, interesting guests and just so much life in general later, Farhad & Sunetro have arrived! At their 100th Episode. And they are super stoked about it. It has quite the ride but the podcast has been such a major part of life.

    In this episode, they talk about the suicide pod in the news segment, discuss their journey so far and what the podcast means to them, and leave us with some amazing recommendations before going for a short break for a few days.

    The future is inclusive. And to build that, we need the present to consider it. How many of us have a person from the queer community as colleagues? Maybe the media sector has more people as it is comparatively quite inclusive but then again policies rarely include them. Introducing a third check box in the gender section is not enough, and just having a PR exercise or rainbow-ing the logos in Pride month is just show-off.

    To talk about all this and more, we had Sonica Aron, Managing Partner at Marching Sheep- an HR Consultancy that helps businesses be more inclusive. We cover important issues- to begin with- identifying the lack of diversity, to training staff to be more more accommodating and understanding of the queer folks, implementing policies and including them in existing policies, etc.

    We also discuss inclusion with reference to persons with disability, special needs, learning disabilities, etc as well.

  • S for Sexlessness

    S for Sexlessness
    Nov 23 2021
    There are phases of cravings, and fulfilling them; and then there are days of aversion when you just want to avoid any indulgence. It can be many things but here we talk with reference to sex and how there are days and phases of feeling sexless; when touch is not comforting, when closeness is not cozy, and comfort is in space.

    In this episode, Farhad & Sunetro discuss these feelings, some possible causes for the same, and how it is okay to feel so occasionally.

    F for Feeling Festive
    Nov 9 2021
    Festivities might not be for everyone. To each is own. And sometimes, as you grow up, festivals might feel like holidays when you take a break, or a getaway, or just be with yourself. It's Diwali, some of them partied while some of them decided to stay low.

    Two most cherished things about festivals are food and memories and this week, let Farhad & Sunetro take you on a trip down the memory lane that's lined with great food, and discuss some general stuff about being out of office, the concern for pets as they are terrified of firecrackers, how festivals feel different as adults, they joyful moments and favorite times of the year, and much more.

    An app for extramarital relationships, mainly marketed to women. Sounds interesting? Well, it exists. And is booming. Which shows the diverse nature of relationships, and people prioritising their happiness and pleasure. It might sound culturally blasphemous but stats prove unhappiness in many relationships with reasons ranging from snoring to abuse, and here is an app offering a way out.

    This week, Farhad & Sunetro are accompanied by Sybil Shiddel, the Communications Manager of the Gleeden App. Gleeden is a French online dating community and social networking service primarily marketed to women, specifically those who are already in a relationship. And it's a company made and run entirely by women.

    Sybil talks about the ethos of the app, the need for it; how were cultures, morals and laws navigated, how have people responded to it, safety measures taken by the app to keep uphold privacy, etc. They also discuss cheating, monogamy, adultery and the likes.

    Find the app's official website.(https://en.gleeden.com/)
