Call Me Whenever Podcast
Call Me Whenever Podcast is co-hosted by besties Shivani Shah and Chinaza Asiegbu. Their talks are usually just a series of unfinished rants, from relationships to college life to culture with basically no transition. This Indian and Nigerian friendship brings a unique perspective that will give listeners an insider look as these friends bond over their similar, yet different life experiences. Feel free to grab a drink and join the FaceTime call!
Who would've thought Shivani and Chinaza would talk sports? Well since the beloved Philadelphia Eagles were in the Super Bowl this season, these girlies had to dish out their opinions. From talking about cute QBs, to the Kelce brothers, to just discussing how fair the game was - tune in to hear these amateurs really be experts for the day. And speaking of experts, Shivani and Chinaza also touch on the massive tech layoffs and how much they've affected their friends and family. Big tech was not playing around this season either!

What better way to kick off a new season than with a little bit of chaos? Shivani and Chinaza are BACK on the podcast scene... but upgraded and degreed up! With our golden college years behind us, we’re getting y’all up to speed on where the stars of CMW (aka us lol) are now. But like every good CMW pod, we can’t stop at just us. We just had to chat about Hawaii, indigenous rights, New York City summers, bestie apartment visits, legal jargon, and a warm farewell to hometown normalcy as we know it. Stick around for the first of many chats in Season 5, and hey, we missed you guys!Happy Black History Month!https://blackhistorymonth.gov/Podcast Instagram: @callmewheneverpodcastChinaza's Instagram: @chinazaasiegbuShivani's Instagram: @vani__shah

Ah yes, the infamous tip. At the end of a meal, the waiter smoothly places a leather-bound check on the table and says “Take your time.” You open it casually, only to come face-to-face with a black line that reads “Tip.” Depending on who you are, you’ll either do mental math, open up your calculator, or hit them with your best guess. Chances are, when you’re tipping, you already know that it’s not just about generosity. Tips are loaded with social expectations and the fear of not being seen as stingy. But what are we really doing when we tip? Where do these tips go? How do our tips overall affect the service industry and workers’ paychecks? Tune in to hear our perhaps controversial thoughts on tipping and how restaurants are preying on consumers to pay a price they should be paying! Prepare to get some tips on tipping!

Have you ever looked at someone and wish you had their style? We’ll let you in on a little secret: it’s not about what you wear but how you wear it! In this world of fashion, the possibilities are endless so you gotta make it your own. Fashion do’s and don’ts differ from person to person and that’s fine! Whether big-busted, petite, or anything overlapping or in between, we talked with YouTuber Jessica Neistadt to get the tea about how to dress for your own specific body on a dime! With over 525K subscribers on YT and almost 55K Insta followers, Jess blesses us with her expertise on all the fashion hacks, places to shop, and (of course knowing us) a whole bunch of other random stuff like finding authentic cultural food. Most importantly, we finally learned how to thrift! Fashion no-no’s always seem to become fashion comebacks—and here’s how to stay ahead of the game. Rule #1: One man’s trash is another man’s treasure!

“When you focus on your own success, you won’t get the results you want, you’ll get the results you need.” Hard to believe, but apparently, one of us said those wise words! In this day and age, it can be SO hard to STAY IN YOUR OWN LANE. With jealousy, competitiveness, and toxicity literally fueling our society, it can be hard to stay focused on YOU. It can often feel like nobody is truly on your team and nobody wants you to win! But like Shivani says, sometimes, you just gotta wave at the haters! From toxic competition, to the woes of Linkedin, to gatekeeping in academia, to gut feelings, you will learn how to embrace confidence with this pod. Because confidence is free, but you pay a price of jealousy!

How do you advocate for yourself? What does it mean to lead with intention?

WE OUTSIDE!! At least one of your friends has said this line, and it’s definitely facts. Final exams are finally over and summer ’21 is here to stay! We chat about finishing up the trying times of the semester (Shivani left her professors begging for mercy), but we also explore the dilemma of finding the line between pandemic and post pandemic life as things open up (and get lit!) again. In case you were wondering, “Lines, Vines, and Trying Times” is the title of the Jonas Brothers’ 4th studio album. And yes, Chinaza WILL be seeing them in October (even though no one asked).

Hey, Soul Sister (or Soul Brother)!

Let’s not pretend like we don’t exist in a world that is constantly putting pressure on us to be perfect in so many ways, and beauty is not an exception. Of course, everyone is free to wear a full face of make-up every day or only use bath soap to wash their face for the rest of their lives. But when is it too much? Is it ever too much?

“Girls are made of sugar and spice and everything nice, while boys are made of snips and snails and puppy-dogs’ tails.” From a young age, girls are socialized into believing that they must go through everything with a smile on their face. Pain, stress, trauma, aggression… you name it. It’s a fable. It’s a myth. It’s sooo tired. And we’re gonna debunk it with stories about supermarkets, bread, and water! While we may have a motherly nature, even mothers aren’t sweet at the expense of their sanity and wellbeing. Listen to this pod before you get a toothache!

Haters gonna hate, but content creators still gonna create! We’re here with our very FIRST GUEST: famous TikToker, Mubeen Momodu! Mubeen encountered incredible backlash and some unexpected fame back in August when he posted a video joking about 'tryhard' gamers and 'sweats’. Now, he has over 150K followers on TikTok! Chatting with him showed us why there’s really no such thing as bad publicity! Listen in for laughs about TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, and more!

Ms. Kamala Harris, daughter of an Indian mother and Jamaican father, makes history as first woman and woman of color as Vice President! How come there isn't as much hype as there was for President Obama? Ms. Harris is smart, energetic, and frankly, hyper-qualified for the position of Vice President and we are excited to finally have representation. Congrats Momala!

Boys may come and go, but friendship is forever! That is… of course, if you abide by the Girl Code. If not, your booty is out on the street faster than you can say “homewreck.” But seriously, what even is the Girl Code, anyway? We all walk around acting like we know what the rules are, but then, when push comes to shove, none of us do. It’s time to set the record straight once and for all!

We’ve heard so much about the entertainment culture. Or more so the CULTure. We’re discussing the endless tragedies that make people develop their own conspiracy theories that sound more like the truth then the "truth" itself. From the different superstitions different cultures have, to the heartbreaking death of Selena, to the ongoing investigation of Sushant Singh Rajput, this podcast surely will give you some different, maybe new perspectives. Take a listen to hear our take on how we feel the entertainment industry impacts dreamers and let us know what you think!
