Listen "Bonus: Indian Matchmaking (with Aparna Shewakramani)"
Episode Synopsis
This week, Kate sits down with Aparna Shewakramani, the breakout star of Netflix's hit show Indian Matchmaking, to discuss all things reality tv, matchmaking, first dates, strategic editing, double standards, and of course, Bolivian Salt Flats. She provides really insightful context in terms of the origin of the show, the actual dialogue that happened on the dates (pre-editing), and her experience (so far) emerging as a polarizing character. Does she really hate beaches and comedy? Find out all that and more on this week's episode! https://www.cnn.com/style/article/indian-matchmaking-netflix-intl-hnk-beauty/index.html https://www.vulture.com/article/everything-aparna-hates-indian-matchmaking.html https://www.vulture.com/2020/07/indian-matchmaking-dating-reality-tv-colorism.html https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/29/entertainment/smriti-mundhra-indian-matchmaking/index.html Support our sponsor: New customers will get 10% off their first order on glossier.com/podcast/bethereinfive
