  • Concise and helpful

    In this age of information overload and e newspapers, and the strain on my eyes due to screens all day, I decided to switch to podcasts do get my dose of daily news. I am from Delhi, currently living outside India. So I listen to the New York Times podcast on my way to work and the Indian express one on my way home- thereby trying to stay informed of the key news both in the US and in India. The 3 things are always widely chosen and adequately discussed- keep up the good work! No advertisements ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Instagram ads row, Jhiram Ghati verdict, and China at BRICS summit
Q: What happened in 2013 at Jhiram Ghati and what is the latest verdict?
The attack, carried out by Maoists during a rally near Sukma, killed 27 people and led to a prolonged investigation; recently, 10 accused were convicted by an NIA court, with the court reserving judgment on the death penalty pending further guidelines.
The rise in loans, two years post RG Kar case, and Delhi hostel collapse
Q: Why is household debt an important metric for RBI and others tracking the financial sector?
Household debt helps gauge financial stability because lending quality reflects the health of banks and the broader economy; if loans are given for non-productive uses, banks face higher non-performing assets and potential systemic problems.
Census paused in Manipur, a govt hospital's failure, and High Court raps UP
Q: What is the core issue at Delhi's cancer institute according to the investigation?
The core issue is that despite having high-end equipment, critical tests and treatments like PET CT are not being used due to staff shortages and lack of qualified personnel, forcing patients to seek private centers and incur high costs.
The Thane data centre, Manipur musician lynched, and protest at Eiffel Tower
Q: What are investigators saying about the motive behind the Delhi musician's death and what are the broader safety concerns for the Northeast community in Delhi?
Officials indicate the motive may involve noise disturbance, but community voices frame it within a pattern of racial violence and discrimination against Northeast residents, prompting calls for fair investigation and stricter protection.
The Thane data centre, Manipur musician lynched, and protest at Eiffel Tower
Q: What makes a hyperscale data center different from a regular data center, and why does that distinction matter for a city like Thane?
Nayonika explains that hyperscale facilities are larger, designed for AI, big data, and high-performance computing, and their scale often means they require substantial electrical and water resources, as well as new infrastructure like dedicated high-voltage grids, which has real implications for local neighborhoods.
