Introducing The Sham Podcast
The Sham Podcast
01/15/20 • 1 min
Yup, Mayuri, Erin and Momina are talking code switching again partly because the last time they discussed it, they realized the topic deserved more voices and more opinions. But also because they were blown away by what people told them, how often they do it and the heartbreaking reasons why. Spoiler alert - we just all want to fit in sometimes.
Also, your eyes do not deceive you! This is the final episode of season 2 (sadface). But fret not for our hosts are all over social media should you need your dose of hot takes and dark stories. And if you'd like season 3, let it be known! Social handles are down below.
Love and hugs, everyone. And remember, life's a sham so do whatever the f*ck you want to anyways!
This week on Underrated:
Momina begs landlords near and far to make sure all houses and apartments have a working doorbell! She's awaiting a very important package, you see. Contents of which cannot be discussed.
Erin plugs in-person classes and reminisces about seeing people in person in the same room, all learning the same thing.
Mayuri plugs the Mellow Beats playlist on Spotify which she uses to trick herself into thinking she's working out of a cool cafe and not from her apartment which she hasn't left in 6 days.

Ep #7: Cliques
The Sham Podcast
08/28/20 • 40 min
We all know that on Wednesdays we wear pink but really, cliques were always such an absolute sham. This week Mayuri, Momina and Erin talk about high school, adult friend groups and also venture into the murky waters of online communication during a pandemic (spoiler alert: it's not as easy as it seems).
This week on Underrated:
Momina plugs the Long Island Railroad and the many day trips just waiting to be had.
Mayuri plugs sweetened condensed milk. Try it with your coffee, tea, and as an extra special treat, on toast!
Erin plugs online reading groups! Find other people reading the same books you are and gush with one another. Try looking around on Reddit or using the hashtags #readingclub and #bookclubs on Instagram.

Ep #6: Having to code switch
The Sham Podcast
08/21/20 • 30 min
Many of us do it, we change the way we present ourselves, the way we speak, depending on who is around us in order to assimilate. But maybe we shouldn't have to? Mayuri, Momina and Erin discuss instances when they've had to code switch, the changing of their accents and how it's all a sham. But this topic is vast and incredibly nuanced so if you would like to join the hosts of The Sham to discuss race and society for an upcoming episode, please do get in touch on Twitter or on Instagram.
This week on Underrated:
Erin plugs NPR's Code Switch podcast which discussed the very many nuances around race.
Momina plugs finding a (secret) spot in whatever city you're in as a means of escape.
Mayuri plugs reading and her attempt to return to the age-old habit.
