Hosted by Mathusha Senthil, Dash the Curry is a podcast where we're joined by guests as we explore topics ranging from Eelam Thamil identity, culture, taboos, relationships and more from the perspective of Thamil diasporic feminists.
Due to popular demand, we're back with a part 2 of our episode on sex featuring Frida Banks! Last season we explored this "taboo" topic and self-love in the context of growing up Tamil in the diaspora. This season, we're diving in deeper and answering some of your questions! Grab your tea, coffee, or drink of choice because this is guaranteed to be a good one.
