The move which was taken with the intention to continue for a short while has been unfortunately being in action in some cities and districts in Punjab for longer time now.

The Wire Talks is a weekly podcast, in which each week host Sidharth Bhatia, Founder Editor of The Wire, will chat with guests on politics, society and culture. The guests may or may not be in the headlines, but they will definitely have a lot of interesting things to say. With a running time of 30 minutes and maybe more, these chats will not be like much of the mainstream media today, or like the instant gratification provided by social media.
You can listen to this show on The Wire's website, the IVM Podcasts website and all audio streaming platforms.
