Changing Suits
Members of the South Asian Community often go through similar experiences, but don’t discuss problems outside of family out of concern for ‘what the community will say’. Over time, this has led to taboo topics, isolation, oppression, and inequality. And enough is enough. Hosted by second generation British South Asian sisters Taj and Bal, the Changing Suits podcast helps members of the South Asian Community across generation, gender, and geography develop a common understanding and awareness of issues affecting the community, so that the community can thrive. The podcast also gives people outside of the community an opportunity to deepen their understanding of South Asian culture and values so they can help build services, companies, and a society that are better and more inclusive. Tune in each week for a closer look at modern South Asian life with a dose of tradition.

🎙️ NEW EPISODE: We Are Back!!! Why the 'Cultural Barrier' Still Matters
Hosts: Bal & Taj | The Cultural Barrier (Changing Suits Podcast)
Have you ever felt torn between two cultures? Wondered how your upbringing shaped the way you raise your kids today? Or questioned why certain conversations still feel off-limits in South Asian households?
In this powerful first episode of the new 2026 series, Bal and Taj return to Changing Suits Podcast with The Cultural Barrier—an honest, reflective and often humorous conversation about identity, expectations, and why it’s time to talk openly.
💬 They reflect on:
* Why they launched (and relaunched) the podcast
* What they've learned about the South Asian experience in the UK
* Breaking generational cycles — and sometimes repeating them
* Struggles with belonging, cultural clashes and parenting
* Navigating difficult conversations on racism, judgement, and identity
From personal stories to awkward moments in professional settings, the sisters unpack the invisible rules that shape our lives—and what happens when we challenge them.
👂Listen in for laughs, learning, and a new season full of truth-telling.
