i love y’all and this podcast is inspirational.
Apple Podcasts5sharikak97United States7 years ago - I'm loving this podcast!
I first heard about it because my friend was a guest on the show, but I have to admit I have completely devoured the entire health season. I'm loving the hosts as well as the guests and the "stupid question" portion is kinda fun. Highly recommend it.
Apple Podcasts5yariarenasUnited States8 years ago - Great podcast covering wide range of topics relevant to the Desi American community
I love listening to this podcast, and wish I had more of these conversation with my Desi friends! I really appreciate the focus on health this season, and how many topics they are able to cover, from both Western and Eastern perspectives. I also like how open Akaash and Arjun have been about their therapy experiences, and hope it encourages more people to seek out therapy and mental wellness.
If I had one critique, it would be that I do feel like the two hosts could do a better job of listening... more

Canada8 years ago - Wish there were updates!
I wasn’t into podcasts, but then I started working a night shift at a tech company and had to pass the time somehow with something other than music.
A friend told me about American Desis, and I’m 4 episodes away from being completely caught up, but I’m sad they haven’t really updated it in recent days, I only started listening late July 2017. I wish I found it sooner so I could’ve sent in my comments to Arjun and Akaash. I’ve identified with many of the episodes and Arjun and Akaash’s banter a... more

I love the podcast. I could relate to so many stories shared by incredible people.
Apple Podcasts5IG: ii1036iiCanada9 years ago - Good take on Indian culture
These guys do a good job on discussing Indian culture and I've learned a lot about the traditions that I didn't know before. Some of the facts that they give don't seem to be correct though. It's just simple things but still. Most of the guests are interesting but at times it's obvious that they couldn't find anyone when they just interview a random friend.
The reason I dropped a star is because these guys don't seem to use microphones when they record the podcast. I'm guessing that it's record... more
Apple Podcasts4Theoperation5United States9 years ago - Its good
Im black, but this profile is 🔥🔥🔥👌🏾
Apple Podcasts5ChrisFinch93United States9 years ago - Dope- like I'm with some brothers
Finally a vessel that can house progressive conversations about being South Asian in this country. I appreciate y'all.
Apple Podcasts5PoojpraUnited States9 years ago - The pringles of podcasts - you can't do just one
These kids are brilliant. Really thorough on both sides of an argument. I usually have a hard time identifying with anything Indian and have always felt strange because of it, but these dudes have really normalized that feeling and show that it's more common than you'd think
