This week we debate the recent pay raise for Singapore's political leaders. Why does the country pay its leaders this much in the first place? Part of it is attracting people who could earn far more elsewhere, part of it is keeping the system clean. But here's the thing. As NSFs we were paid a fraction of that and told it was our duty to serve the nation. So why doesn't that same argument apply both ways? We also explain why that gap may actually be necessary. We also talk about how our own interest in politics started, comparing what we saw growing up in Tamil Nadu and Malaysia, before…

In this episode of Vada Poche Tamil Podcast, we get into male fashion, especially whether accessories and Jewellery make a man feminine, where that idea came from, and why something that once signalled nobility now gets questioned. We also get into the etiquette side, like why you don't button the bottom button on a suit, and whether rules like that still mean anything. Should fashion be updated, scrapped, or left alone? And what does this generation actually count as fashion? Put on your best dress and enjoy the show!

In this episode of Vada Poche Tamil Podcast, we get into something we've never really spoken about on here. What sets off our anxiety, what we think it goes back to, and the bits of childhood that shaped us more than we realised. None of us have a diagnosis. All of us know the feeling anyway. Some of us have found a way through it. Some of us are still figuring it out. We're not experts and this isn't advice. It's three friends being honest about something Tamil households don't really talk about, in case it helps someone to hear it. ⚠️ Content note: this episode discusses anxiety and…

Sharif called Vijay Sethupathi a typecast actor. Bharath did not take it well. That one line turned into a whole episode. Is being typecast actually a bad thing, or is it just what happens when an actor is very good at one thing? We argue it out, and go further, is Rajini typecast too? We also hit a million views on Instagram this week, and talk about why we are not really celebrating it. Plus a quick one on the new Meta glasses and what they mean for privacy.

Sharif brought biryani to the studio. Ten minutes later we were arguing about whether Singapore can still cook it properly. We ranked our top 3 in each category — nasi biryani (the local Malay-style version), dum biryani, and South Indian. Then we got into why standards here are slipping, whether home-based cooking is the real future of F&B, and what happens to food businesses when the new Singapore–JB rail link opens. Sit back, relax and probably best to have a biryani while you watch this week's debate!

One of us was disgusted. The other wasn't impressed. Nobody agreed. This week Yuva and Bharath get into Indian food combinations, the pairings we swear by and the ones that make people stare. Veg, non-veg, and the hybrid combos that shouldn't work but somehow do. Some of these genuinely put Yuva off his food. Others were too plain to win Bharath over. Before that, we pick up where we left off on Tekka. For those outside Singapore: The food quality is one thing. But the vibe is the real loss, and honestly it's been gone since around 2016. Tell us in the comments whose side you're on and if…

We went to Tekka for a meal and walked out disappointed. And it got us asking a bigger question. Tekka, the heart of Singapore's Little India, where generations of Indian Singaporeans have eaten and grown up is changing. New kinds of food moving in, the old feel slipping away. Jawhar and Bharath talk about what's gained and what's lost. Then it gets personal: when a relative or friend quietly distances themselves, and you bump into them outside — what do you do? Plus World Cup talk: how France cooked themselves, Spain or Argentina for the trophy, and why Brazil isn't Brazil anymore.

Some roads in Singapore and Malaysia, people simply refuse to drive at night. This week we found out why. It's our spookiest episode yet. Jawhar and Yuva get into the stories behind Karak Highway and Devil's Bend, the legends, the sightings, and the ones that are a little too consistent to laugh off. Before that, they go in on Obsession, the horror film everyone's talking about, and end up in a proper debate: when a wish turns your crush into a monster, who's the real victim, Bear or Nikki? Listen with the lights on. Or don't. Your call 👀

Pritam Singh is no longer Leader of the Opposition. But he's still leading the Workers' Party. Should he be? That's the question Singapore has been arguing about, so this week we sat with it properly. We're not here to tell you what to think. We lay out the arguments on both sides, talk through what we understand and what we don't, and share where we honestly land. Then we switch gears completely: the World Cup is on, and somehow we can't get into it. We talk about why, what's wrong with the commentary, and who we think wins it anyway. This one's a sensitive topic and we've done our best to…

⚠️ Content note: this episode includes a frank discussion of abusive relationships and may be heavy for some listeners. Please take care. Why does someone stay in an abusive relationship? And why does the person hurting them so often walk away fine? It started with Jawhar and Bharath reading unhinged Reddit stories and it turned into one of the most honest conversations we've had. We talk about abusive relationships, the parts we can't make sense of, and the questions that don't have easy answers. It gets heavy in places and lighter in others. There's a bit on Father's Day, and a tangent…

He was already a TV judge in Singapore. Then he flew to Chennai to compete on Super Singer and people told him to go home.

We get into the ego he had to swallow, the danger zones, missing chicken rice, and why he's never been good at telling people what he actually does.

This week is a story about men, emotion, and the masks we wear. Sharif and Jawhar unpack Karuppu, Suriya's blockbuster that's already the highest-grossing Tamil film of 2026. Then the conversation gets real: the boys dig into Jayam Ravi (now Ravi Mohan), his name change, the divorce, his recent press conference after the break up with Kenishaa and the bigger question about men's mental health in the Tamil community, why our heroes are crumbling in silence. Finally, Sharif, a proud Manchester United fan, explains why his mental health has deteriorated as Arsenal became premier league champions.
