But where are you really from? Feat. Sarah Benjamin

It's the question people have asked us our entire lives. And to be honest, we still haven't figured out the answer. Sarah Benjamin, Singapore's favourite chef and food presenter shares her personal experiences growing up mixed-race, and the unique struggle of figuring out where she fit in. Enter existential crisis here: where does my accent come from? Why do I feel foreign at home? Am I Asian enough? European enough? What am I? And my God, why don't westerners share food?!

Teddy Geiger, Aaron Carter, Robert Pattinson to name but a few. We cover it all. Where are they now? Who's still cute? And (for some), how did it go so wrong?...

Maybe it's her, maybe it's quarantine

You asked, we answered. It's another solo episode where we tell you everything you wanted to know about us! We broke down what helped us become the confident kweens we are, because we didn't just wake up like this. Plus we talk bullying (people still do that?), first dates (should the dude pay?), and poetic stalkers (but was he hot?).

What keeps you up at night?

Guys. This week's been stressful. And we could all do with some comic relief... even if it's at our own expense.
