The Eat, Watch and Binge Read Podcast

Society & Culture


In Episode 16 of the EWBR podcast, Anisha and Dhruv discuss that iconic institution, the (possibly not so humble) sandwich. Coronation chicken, bacon, salmon and cream cheese, egg mayo, with a sneak inclusion of the Dishoom naan roll by Dhruv. How do different cultures perceive this iconic masterpiece - light lunch, fun snack, boring stomach filler or all of the above? Then a drastic change in tone as we talk about Kamila Shamsie’s increasingly relevant book "Home Fire" - a modern day retelling (of sorts) of Antigone, set against the contemporary British political climate. On to telly/movies then -what is it with older women bosses being portrayed as horrible people? Anisha's been watching The Bold Type, which avoids the ye olde "Bitch Boss" stereotype and manages to do with nuance and skill what The Devil Wears Prada never did. All this and more - listen in now!
