Today's episode is with Vijayendra Mohanty (Vimoh to his friends). Vimoh describes himself as "An Indian creator. He writes essays, produces podcasts, and makes videos. His areas of interest are media, culture, and creativity. He is a comic book writer and has authored a ten-issue comic series called Ravanayan and is presently writing several new t…

This is a Q and A episode. Topics discussed include my (very condensed) take on the elections, Computex 2019, E3 2019, Robert Pattinson's selection as the next Batman etc. I know a bunch of you are still wondering about my continued silence about the elections, but I wont be doing an episode on it without a guest. I see no value in me covering old …

At long last I managed to get a guest on for the show. Siddharth Singh and I sat down for a conversation surrounding his book "The Great Smog of India". As the title suggests, the book deals with the air pollution crisis in India. This is one of those books that makes one reach for the highlighter and it frequently makes the reader go "No wait, tha…

Now that I'm back from my little trip (and feeling soooo much better), we can expect to go back to the usual schedule. This episode is a little longer, considering I had to make up for my absence for most of April. Topics include the AAP/Atishi scandal, Avengers Endgame and the GoT finale (sigh).

Honestly, it felt weird reading my work out loud but considering how many people thought it mirrored their feelings, it made sense to give it a shot. If this works out, I might end up doing this for some of the more popular posts I've written…

This episode talks about Pratab Bhanu Mehta's excellent speech at the India Today Conclave this year. To be precise, it talks about some of the questions asked of him (and of most liberals by extension). Also, updates on the Brookings Institute panel on the IPKF Sri Lanka operations in the 80s. Plus my views on the Netflix movie "Triple Frontier". …

Yes, it has been a while. This episode will explain why. The move to Anchor is bringing some major changes to the show. Since hosting will no longer be a concern, you should be hearing from me more often. Expect the next episode to drop by the end of this week. As for the older (Season 1) episodes, they will be transferred over soon (you can still …
