Popkast with Garima: Recent Episodes
Garima Surana
First interactive pop culture podcast. An unapologetic and badass show, where we talk the taboo, break the Stree-o-type and opine on everything. From everyday millennial drama to social norms, from 90’s music to all things woke. Hosted by self proclaimed know-it-all and expert of nothing, PopKast with Garima, will ensure that you get your weekly dose of sass and everything that your parents forgot to teach you about life!
Why BMI is inaccurate and misleading? If someone is overweight, there may be numerous factors at work, meaning it's not due to poor discipline or willpower. BMI can trigger eating disorders and should be scrapped. As women, our bodies start being judged from a young age and become more targeted as we go through puberty. The size of our breasts, our body shape, weight, height, even our hair colour, style and skin colour are all under scrutiny. We are being compared to others and often to some invisible person or standard that does more to hinder our confidence than anything else. In this episode of Pop Shots, Sakshi Sindwani, fondly referred to as Style me up with Sakshi and Garima discuss the lie BMI is.
Season 3, EmpowHER edition, is in support of UN Women and Community Partners- SheThePeople.

Anju’s perseverance and strong willpower to be a financially independent woman precede her physical inabilities. Anju’s brother and father would take her in their arms and walk for 8kms to get her to school! She says and I quote - ‘main nahi samajhti mujhme koi kami hain. Mujhe sarkari naukri karni hain or kabhi bhi exam me fail nahi hona hain’. I vividly remember her beaming face as she spoke to me for half an hour! She rubbed off her energy on me. I hope when you tune in to this episode, you manifest the same hope and positivity. Hope for a better future, hope to dream, hope to believe in yourself, and hope to be an agent of change.

Hello woke people on the internet, let's cancel the cancel culture? Cancel culture is ont only plaguing individuals or celebrities but is crippling our democracy and freedom of speech. From Tandav to Munawar to Instagram influencers, the cancel culture does no good for redemption. Listen to an excerpt of my conversation with Aranya Johar, activist and poet where she beautifully and in the most simple way explains the right approach towards cancel culture, probably, holding accountability culture. Perhaps, it is time for us to realize that the only thing we should cancel is ‘cancel culture’ itself. Please tune in for a better progressive tomorrow?
