When love schemes turn into family battlegrounds, Mom becomes the referee - taking hits from every side. We argue, blame, and still expect her to fix everything, even as she shields her daughter from a ghosting dreamboat. Love her or hate her, she’s the glue. And of course, we only notice when she’s not around. Meanwhile, what’s it like for the dads? And you’re left watching your ever-perfect sister somehow walk away with the best snacks.

Boys and Girls is produced by Radhika Viswanathan and Samyuktha Varma. Our lead producer is Menaka Raman. Music and Sound by Joel Sakkari and Mixing and Mastering by Yashwanth Vinay. Original music by Joel Sakkari. Thanks to Anjali Sankaran for singing on our theme song! Many thanks also to Inder for singing in this episode. Show artwork by Adrija Ghose and Pooja Saxena. Our Executive Producer at iHeartPodcasts is Katrina Norvell. Boys and Girls is produced by Vaaka Media and IHeartPodcasts. 

All names in this show have been changed till our grandmummas attain moksha. Like what you hear? Follow us on Instagram @boysandgirlspod and subscribe to the Vaaka Media newsletter The Inner Ear on Substack by clicking here. Find us at vaaka.in !

Boys & Girls is an absurd, burlesque, cringey take on love and marriage the Indian way. Radhika Viswanathan delves into the highs and lows of being on the arranged marriage carousel in search of forever love. Along with her friends and producers Samyuktha and Menaka, they're on a journey to talk to the boys and girls who lived through making the ‘smart life choice’ and lived to tell the tale. They’re cleaning up the cobwebs, trying to figure out what Desi love is all about, and finally, performing a shamanic dance to put to bed all their unresolved emotions around this institution that refuses to die. Get ready to finally feel seen and experience healing! 100% Made in India. Produced by Vaaka Media and iHeartPodcasts.
