Storytelling and The Making of a History Podcast: In Conversation with The Nameless Collective
Join the hosts of The Nameless Collective Podcast for an animated conversation on storytelling, uncovering untold stories, creating your own podcast, and all the century-old rumours and gossip they keep out of the recordings.
Hosts Milan Singh, Naveen Girn and Paneet Singh will be in conversation with podcast producer and Jugni Style editor, Manjot Bains. The trio will discuss the drawbacks of privileging certain stories and eras over others, challenging male-dominated history narratives, and why it’s important to critique model minority myths. They’ll also share the stories behind some of their eyebrow-raising podcast titles, including, “Big Dog, Little Dog or Khutha Bundha,” and “Did you paint your nose and hands brown?”
About Podcasts & Time Travel
Often we’re forced to relate to the spaces around us through a colonial understanding. We live on streets named after white dudes, in cities named after colonizers, amongst statues immortalizing so-called explorers - so it’s time to change the conversation.
The Nameless Collective brings their flavour of disrupting homogenized, palatable narratives to the Monsoon Festival with three events unpacking the history of the South Asian community on unceded Coast Salish lands.
Explore over one hundred years of the South Asian community’s history and activism through digital walking tours of Kitsilano and the Punjabi Market on August 11th and 18th. Followed by a panel conversation on August 25th with The Nameless Collective podcast hosts Naveen Girn, Milan Singh, and Paneet Singh, and producer Manjot Bains, in which they will discuss motivations, challenges, and adventures in exploring this history.
