I'm Not Your Exotic Girlfriend
In this episode, we discuss interracial dating, sex, romance, intimacy, the whole deal! How we are not your exotic girlfriends, your world is just as foreign to us. We speak about how internalised racism has affected how we date. Do you have to spend more time defending your relationship than having one? What does it feel like to sleep with the colonial standard of beauty? Can you have emotional intimacy with those in places of privilege? Where does the term exotic come from? We reflect on our dating history very honestly, some of it we are not proud of. But, the only way to move forward and grow is to admit to yourself where you have gone wrong too. We hope you can get a good laugh out of this episode and can reflect on your own dating history! Our podcast acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea, and community.

Myth of Meritocracy

Myth of Meritocracy
In our second episode of Similar Differences, we are discussing the Myth of Meritocracy. Can everyone really get to where they want by working hard? Is this a level playing field? The answer is no. We need to build more equitable systems because marginalised groups deserve that, they need more justice paid to them. Not just exceptions to this rule. But it doesn't benefit the privileged either! Hyper competitiveness is inherent in neoliberalism, capitalism, and meritocracy. It leaves no room for error. We discuss personal anecdotes of perfect attendance, standardised tests, education, resumes, disability and so much more!

Why We Are Breaking Up With Australia
Welcome to our first episode of Similar Differences with Angelica & Inez. An interstate friendship that explores the nuances of diversity, culture, and identity. In this episode, we talk about Riz Ahmed's The Long Goodbye where he personifies Britain as his abusive ex and the stages of the break up he goes through. We speak about what stage of the break up we are at with Australia and how Australia has a controlling hold on how we can express our intersectional identity. If Australia sent you a 3 am miss you text, would you reply? Let's discuss on our Instagram page @similardifferencespodcast Our podcast acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea, and community.
