  • 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

  • Good podcast, but heavily tilted left

    I like the podcast’s format and I listen to it almost every day. But I take their political coverage with a big grain of salt since they are unabashedly biased against BJP.

    The show hosts and the reporters are heavily opinionated against BJP, but Liz Matthews should get a special call out since she is the most shameless of all.

    Listen to the show for updates and not to form your opinions about India’s politics.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

CJP's first protest, India-Nepal ties, and Vizag steel plant accident
Q: What exactly happened at the protest site and what were the main demands?
The protest centered on demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over alleged irregularities in NEET 2026 and CBSE Class 12 examinations, and the movement is framed as youth-led and evolving from online to offline activism.
Indian sailors killed in Hormuz, relief for airlines, and risks of a wider war
Q: Which airlines are most affected by the current price environment, and why?
Air India is the most impacted due to its heavier long-haul international network and reliance on routes that incur higher fuel costs, compounded by regional airspace closures that force longer flight paths and greater fuel burn.
Indian sailors killed in Hormuz, relief for airlines, and risks of a wider war
Q: Could you explain what exactly this ATF price stabilization fund is and how it works?
The fund acts as an advance from the government to oil marketing companies to stabilize jet fuel prices for airlines; if the international price is lower than the benchmark, the over-recovery is returned to the government and ultimately to the consolidated fund, ensuring airlines face a predictable price for up to three years.
Mobile Creches: Accelerating action on Early Childhood Development
Q: And Rani, you have told us how from the very beginning, from the very childhood, Khel has been a very important part of your life. So, how important is Khel for children?
Khel is foundational for every child's health, education and social development; it teaches them to face challenges, build discipline, and learn cooperation, while providing a joyful, engaging path to lifelong learning and resilience.
'Rs 370 Biryani' row, Delhi's water crisis, and NCERT censors ancient artefact
