This podcast hosts writers, readers, artists, and activists who listen to, read, or document "queer" stories and their afterlives. This space hopes to hold conversations that question what queerness in India feels, looks, and sounds like. It may push Indian writers and publishers, especially upper-caste Hindus to check their cultural and social capital and interrogate the Indian dominance in South Asia and studies on South Asia. It is an attempt to share joy or discomfort, suspicion, or solidarity, or just gossip and flirt. Though this podcast is an extension of my research interests, it is neither funded by my current institution nor meant to be an academic engagement as such. As a curator who is upper-caste, I hope to work harder to not replicate Savarna ways of producing knowledge. I also recognize the labor of sharing stories and intend to compensate some guests, either with honoraria or by other means, depending on what they may desire. more

Hailing from traditional South Asian roots, I took on a nontraditional path with my passion project missioned to increase representation in mainstream media. Throughout my modeling journey, I've been blessed to be part of modeling campaigns for brands such as Express Fashion and Maison Margiela to walking the runway for New York Fashion Week and covering it as Press. As I grew my platform, I realized so many of us are hesitant in taking that leap of faith because we don’t have visibility to the mentors or guides that we can look up to, ask questions to, or be our support system. As a result, many of us default to the traditional careers that our parents consider successful - but we may be left feeling unfulfilled. I want to take this mission to the next level and introduce successful and happy powerhouse voices in our community who are breaking barriers by pursuing full-time careers outside of what’s traditionally considered successful. For our younger, current, and older generations: it is never too late to start again or dream a new dream. My mission is to show in a fun, lighthearted way that you can absolutely find happiness in a path less taken. This is my baby: Break the Barrier more

More than four thousand years ago, two cities rose along the Indus River valley — Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa — built with a precision and sophistication that still astonishes archaeologists today. These urban centers of the Indus Valley Civilization (2600–1900 BCE) featured grid-like streets, advanced drainage systems, and the iconic Great Bath of Mohenjo-daro, a brick-lined water tank that may have served ritual purification. Lucas and Luna explore the shadowed scripts of the Indus seals, still undeciphered, and debate whether the civilization collapsed due to climate change, river shifts, or Aryan migrations. They examine trade networks stretching to Mesopotamia, the uniformity of weights and measures, and the puzzling absence of monumental palaces or temples. Why did this vast, peaceful society vanish? Did it truly 'decline,' or did it evolve into later South Asian cultures? Each episode sifts through evidence from sites like Dholavira and Rakhigarhi, weighing competing theories with a critical eye. This show is for anyone who has wondered what the world's first planned cities say about human ingenuity — and fragility. Can a civilization be 'ahead of its time' without writing a record we can read? #IndusValleyCivilization #MohenjoDaro #Harappa #AncientIndia #GreatBath #IndusScript #Dholavira #Rakhigarhi #MesopotamiaTrade #UrbanPlanning #BronzeAge #Archaeology #UndecipheredScript #CollapseOfCivilization #SouthAsianHistory #WorldHistory #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo more
