EPISODE 19: I have a stalker and this is how it started (with proof) - Part 1

**We've started a new anonymous form for anyone to share their stalking experiences (men or women) and any questions you may want to ask privately** Anonymous Form: www.limelightpod.com Okay, look. This wasn't something we thought we would share, however, instances like these are extremely under reported (involving female stalkers) and since our podcast is about bringing important topics into the limelight, we felt it was important to put this one out. We felt it was important to share some deta...

EPISODE 17: Edmonton International Student & NYC CEO Sho*tings Explained

RIP to Harshandeep Singh and Brian Thompson. Both of these sho*tings are very different in nature, however at the end of the day two lives were lost. Harshandeep was only on his 3rd day on the job, and was not trained to handle any situation like this. We have talked on previous episodes about immigration and Indian students in Canada, and although we hope this has nothing to do with where he is from, we can't be sure. When it comes to CEO sho*ting, we filmed this hours before the assassin was f...

EPISODE 16: The TRUTH of Hawk Tuah’s Rise and Fall | From Meme Queen to Crypto Schemes

Everyone's talking about Haliey Welch's new Crypto scam with her Hawk Tuah Coin, but no one is talking about how she did @timanddeetv dirty, the guy's that originally found her AND MADE HER FAMOUS. The fact that they're the sole reason she is famous, and she not only doesn't thank them, but she drags their names through the mud. We talk about the whole truth that Tim and Dee TV revealed in their recent YouTube video and the new Crypto scheme that @Coffeezilla @coffeezillaextras went off on. We w...

EPISODE 12: AI Only Discriminates Against Indians & Whites, Dead Internet Theory, & Taylor Swift Scams

In this episode, we share our experience with ChatGPT's new Advanced Voice feature. It's an incredible tool, but we were surprised to see it's currently programmed to only mimic Indian and white accents- and refuses to do others. Its reasonings? (Catch the full convo around 13 minutes in): "I can't imitate accents that can be seen as disrespectful or offensive. I strive to be respectful and sensitive to all cultures. Some accents can be more culturally sensitive and I want to avoid any that migh...

EPISODE 8.5: Diddy, Kendrick, Cole, Drake; Our Take

The "Me Too" movement from several years ago brought light to women who were put in uncomfortable situations which put their careers in jeopardy. The recent developments around Diddy & Bad Boy records is showing that men have also been in these uncomfortable positions and have yet to share their stories. Since recording this episode- J Cole has released an album, took shots at Kendrick, and has even since said he fe...

EPISODE 8: Anti-Social, Overly Expensive, But Beautiful: Vancouver (STREET INTERVIEWS)

We didn't know how many people would talk to us, we (Harmol) didn't know how to use a camera, and we barely knew what we wanted to ask. But... we hit the streets to see who would speak with us and share what they felt was important and isn't being talked about enough. We realized pretty quickly that maybe this was too deep of a question to start off with.. so started them more light hearted. By an overwhelming majority, the answers were always along the lines of.. The city is hard to make friend...

EPISODE 4: Indian People & Cringe Dating Apps, The Caste System, and Lonely Raj

In today's society, there's no need to be spreading divisiveness, especially in our very own communities. It's hard to believe that the occupation of our great grandparents still impacts who should marry who. When you say it out loud, it sounds just as silly as it really is. It may have made sense many years ago in India, but there's no place for it in the western world. Then there's Indian dating apps doubling down and spreading racism & discrimination in hopes they can have their viral mom...
