5: No to Violence, Yes to Punching Up

WE ARE BACK!!! Welcome to the end of our hiatus AND season one of Pasifikally. Coming back with a bit more structure, a lot of updates, and way too much to cover, Lungol and Dylan make a comeback with a crash course of what they’ve been through for the past three months. Dylan tells us about his Fiji trip, Lungol lives vicariously through him, and we cover Invasion Day, Cook Got Cooked Day, and Tonga. Trigger warning in the first 20 minutes of this episode for frank discussions of mental illness and suicidality. Things We MentionedLungol's TiktokGIVE US A (5 star) RATING/REVIEW PLSFollow us online!InstagramPodcast PlaylistLungol:InstagramTwitterDylan:InstagramTalanoa TalkPlease note that this was recorded 11 days ago and is only just going up now because Lungol’s depression has temporarily decided to leave him alone. Also, Lungol’s dad’s gig didn’t end up happening but let’s pretend it did since it’s a pretty fun story. 

This week we break in the podcast by introducing ourselves, catching up, dunking on anti-vaxxers, and taking turns hating on each other for what we have every right to enjoy.

Massive episode here bc we disappeared for a month, lmao. Also, you're welcome for three episodes in a week. Anyway, in this week we talk about Will Smith and Chris Rock, Lungol being "a big proponent of violence", and Dylan reflecting on fatherhood as a full-time daddy. We discuss the unconsensual distribution of intimate media in Pasifika communities and the imperial influences of China, Australia, NZ, and the US in the Pacific Islands. Dylan drags some white man for calling for the invasion of the Solomon Islands and Lungol discusses the infrastructure of mental healthcare in PNG.Follow us online!InstagramPodcast PlaylistLungol:InstagramTwitterDylan:Talanoa Talk

This week we are absolutely wrecked so heavy trigger warning for discussions around mental illness. In this episode we talk COP22, representation discourse, and immaculate homosexual cinema. Dylan gives us a lesson in Fijian History and Lungol brings up a massive rally in Port Moresby of people protesting “mandatory vaccinations” that don’t even exist. Also, just a quick warning, the last third of this episode is absolutely fucking insane and makes very little sense.Follow us online!InstagramPodcast Playlist Lungol:Instagram Twitter Twitch  Website Dylan:InstagramTalanoa Talk
