About the show

"We don’t have life figured out, but we do have questions, ideas, and a knack for seeing things differently. Unscripted and Unfiltered is like an unplanned road trip for your thoughts, with perspectives that take you from the familiar to the refreshingly new. We’re here for the tangents, the unexpected turns, and the kind of conversations that gently nudge you into seeing the world in a different light.”

Ep.10|Why Christmas Just Hits Different|

20 min

It’s blanket season, hot-chocolate season, Christmas-movie season, basically, peak coziness. In this episode, we dive into the little traditions that make December feel magical: comfort movies, sitcom Christmas episodes, desserts that taste like joy, s’mores, tree-decorating chaos, and the dreamy fantasy of spending Christmas in New York or London someday. A soft, nostalgic, feel-good episode that smells like cinnamon and sounds like fairy lights. Tune in for pure December warmth. ✨

Ep.9| Gen Z & Mental Health: Understanding or Excusing?

20 min

Gen Z talks about mental health more than any generation before, but do we truly understand it, or have the words become excuses? In this episode, we unpack the rise of therapy language, the misuse of terms like “anxiety” and “trauma,” and how social media blurs the line between genuine struggles and convenient labels. A warm, honest, slightly chaotic conversation about awareness, responsibility, and what real mental health conversations should sound like.

Ep.8|The Burden of Awareness|

23 min

We know more than any generation before us, every crisis, every injustice, every heartbreak, all within a scroll. But what happens when awareness starts to hurt more than it helps? In this heartfelt episode, Shreya and Avanthika unpack the unspoken weight of social media: empathy fatigue, performative caring, and the quiet guilt of being happy when the world feels heavy. Tune in for an honest conversation about finding balance, between knowing and living, caring and resting, feeling and healing.

Ep.7| Beautifully Broken: How Bad Experiences Shape us

20 min

This episode is your warm reminder that growth doesn’t always come wrapped in sunshine. We unpack how the hard times, the heartbreaks, the failures, the lonely phases, help us learn, evolve, and see life from a perspective no good day ever could.

Ep.6|Friendship Audit 101

17 min

In this week's episode of Unscripted and Unfiltered, our hosts bring to you the red flags, green flags and the grey area of friendships. Are red flags common for all? Tune in to find out!

Ep.5|Characters We Grew Up With|

23 min

Ever wonder how the fictional worlds we binge have quietly shaped the way we think, love, and dream? In this episode we revisit the shows that raised us, from small-town coffee runs to secret high-school handshakes, and unpack how their stories built our personalities and ideals. We talk about why some characters feel like lifelong friends, why it’s so hard to let go, and why sometimes holding on is okay. Most of all, we explore what it means to burst the bubble, evolve, and write new scripts for ourselves while still cherishing the comfort of those familiar TV worlds.

Ep.4|Racing Against Time or Just Living?|More Than a Resume|

18 min

Ever stared at the ceiling at 2 a.m. wondering what you’re doing with your life? In this episode, we get real about the pressure to hit every milestone, Dean’s list, perfect GPA, dream job, and how those boxes don’t always quiet the doubts. We talk careers, peer comparisons, mental slumps, and the gentle art of rewriting what “success” really means. A reminder that nobody’s late, and your timeline is your own.

Ep.3|Long distance friendships|Fear Of Losing Friends

18 min

That fear of drifting apart is real, but so is the joy of picking up exactly where you left off. This week, we dive into the insecurities of long-distance friendships and why real bonds don’t fade, even if the calls and texts do.

Ep.2|Expectations|College Chaos|Finding Yourself|

21 min

Starting college can feel like stepping into chaos, so many faces, so much pressure to “find your people,” and the fear of losing yourself in the rush. In this episode, we open up about our own transitions, the mistakes we made trying to fit in, and the funny, real moments that shaped us. It’s about taking a breath, trusting the process, and remembering that you’re never truly alone, you will find your space, your people, and maybe even a new version of yourself. 

Ep.1|Meet Your Hosts|Sneak Peak|

23 min

We’re not here to tell you how to live your life. We’re just here to talk about living it — messy, chaotic, beautiful, and weird. Meet us in this intro episode as we share why we started this podcast and what you can expect (spoiler: probably oversharing and occasional existential spirals).

Ep.0|Trailer|Finally pressed record|

2 min

🎙 Unscripted and Unfiltered is our little corner of chaos — where two best friends (Avi & Shreya) yap about the things no one really prepares you for in college. From friendship breakups that sting hard, to missing birthdays, dumb decisions, and late-night overthinking… we’ve been there, and we’re talking about it all. Not to give advice, but to share real perspectives. ✨ First episode drops Sept 3rd @ 5PM — tune in, because sometimes, yapping is therapy
