Guest of Honor - Seattle's most diverse podcast.

*This episode has a mix of English and Kannada.

You can take the person out of Bangalore but not the slang out of the Bangalorean.

Ikyatha Yerasala has worked as been a movie reviewer, a journalist, a features reporter and a sub-editor in prominent publications like Midday, Deccan Chronicle and Deccan Herald and most recently started "Slangaluru" an Instagram/Twitter based social media brand which captures Namma Bengaluru's spirit.

This episode has 2 blue Bangaloreans reliving their childhood days in the Garden city. We talk about the Bangalore we grew up in, darshini culture, playing cricket in vataras, the period before Christ College got a dress code, the period after Forum was constructed, eating capsicum bhajji at VV Puram and more about being 90s kids in Bangalore. It's a lovely trip down memory lane for those of you who miss 'Luru from the early 2000s. Get off one cup of maggi and settle in, this is going to be a nostalgic one.

While golfing has been stereotyped to be the old white man's game, it's actually one of most involved, difficult sports of all time.

In today's episode we decontruct MaryLou Mulflur's 40 year stint in golfing out of which she spent 37 coaching the UW women's golf team. Her players are phenomenal and have gone on to win the NCAA National Championship in 2016.

We cover the rules of golf, how it has evolved over the years, life as a coach, her coaching philosophy, borrowing strategies from game plays and creating a winning team year on year. We also learn about physical and mental fitness for players and preparation leading upto golf tournaments.

As a UW alumni and former husky, it was an absolute pleasure talking to MaryLou. Go dawgs!

TLDR; If "Tiger Woods" is all you can remember about golf, this is the podcast episode you never knew you needed.
