Whether you’re a newcomer or have been with us since episode 0, you’ll know how much this podcast means to us. As we explored our upbringings, future endeavours, and delved into the most personal of discussions, The Teen Table Talks was born. Our biggest goal was to share our perspective with the world in hopes of inspiring all of you. As we bring our podcast journey to a close, we’d like to thank our guests and listeners for your ever present support. Toodles! - The Teen Table Talks
As the Olympics come to a close and the Paralympics begin, we have lots to talk about for this year’s events! From Summer McIntosh to Simone Biles, we cover many of the significant “firsts” the Olympics has seen. Tune in to hear about some of our favourite events and listen until the end to see how many of the events you can name.
This episode we dive back into our childhoods, exploring and comparing our experiences and all things kidcore. From TV shows and books, to games we played at recess, we all got a little nostalgic about what it was like growing up.
Do the people around us really change, or do we just view them differently as we mature? How important are fixed and growth mindsets in terms of who we surround ourselves with? This episode, we discuss all things related to relationships (platonic and romantic), our experiences with toxic friend groups, and the natural evolution of friendships.
Practically everything can be traced back to the patriarchy… so how does it show through in our everyday lives? In this episode, we talk about all things feminism: from the obsession with eurocentric features to how truly messed up Chloe Ting workouts are. Tune in to hear about our experiences with catcalling, the ongoing problem with pretty privilege, and issues with objectification in today’s society.
They both adore labels.
Ever wonder if the random BuzzFeed quizzes you take are accurate? What does your aesthetic say about you as an individual? In this episode, we delve into Gen Z’s attraction to labels and highlight some of the ones we impose on ourselves.
Warning: This episode contains strong language.
In honour of Asian Heritage Month and the recent rise in API hate, we decided to record an episode to discuss the model minority myth, dealing with “pick-me” Asians, and cultural appropriation. Maggie, Selina, and our first guest Wynter (!) sit down to dish about their encounters with racism — from a schoolmate telling us they hate Chinese people to getting verbally harassed in the streets of Montreal. Anti-Asian racism is very real and too normalized. We hope you guys will enjoy hearing some of our personal stories (maybe our fellow Asians can relate?), and use this as a learning opportunity.
Each one of us is the oldest child in our respective families, so are our experiences similar to one another? What are the differences between having two siblings and only one? Listen in to hear about our experiences (some bad, some good) and what it’s like to be the firstborn.
What’s the difference between mansplaining and explaining? Is it possible for men to recognize these habits and make conscious changes? In this episode, we share a few of our personal experiences with this issue and how to better confront mansplainers.
