  • 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.

Vijay sworn in as CM, India-Pak sports rules, and Vinesh under scrutiny
Q: What are the key visa-related improvements in the memo and how might they affect future events?
The memo introduces multi-entry visas for sports officials and officials from international federations, prioritizing tenure coverage and reducing delays, which could smooth participation in major events and address past IOC concerns seen during Delhi's 2019 World Cup delays.
Vijay sworn in as CM, India-Pak sports rules, and Vinesh under scrutiny
Q: Can you outline how bad the India-Pakistan sports relations are right now and what the memo changes?
Mihir explains that relations have been cool for years, with the Pahelgam attacks intensifying scrutiny, and the memo formalizes a policy to keep bilateral ties out of competitions while allowing multilateral participation, effectively preserving global sporting engagement without direct bilateral matches.
Bengal's next CM, India's Census exercise, and an economic relief
Q: Tanushree, before we talk about other things, you know, among the factors that helped the BJP come to power was, of course, anti-incumbency. What other big factors would you say worked in BJP's favor?
Tanushree Bose points to the convergence of local issues, caste realignments, and targeted campaigning in crucial districts, along with the BJP's ability to consolidate Hindu votes and exploit anti-incumbency sentiment after 15 years of TMC governance, while noting the shifting dynamics in pockets like Purulia and Bakura.
UAE's exit from OPEC, Thrissur tragedy, and chased by cow vigilantes
Q: How much influence does OPEC have today, and to what extent can it control oil prices given new major producers outside the bloc?
OPEC's influence has diminished in the face of major outside producers like the US and Russia; its ability to set prices is now more about signaling and coordinating production within the cartel, while external factors and alternative supply paths limit its monopoly, potentially blunting its pricing power over time.
UAE's exit from OPEC, Thrissur tragedy, and chased by cow vigilantes
Q: Anil, can you talk about the reason why OPEC was formed and the kind of influence it's had on oil supply and oil prices?
OPEC formed to give oil-producing countries collective bargaining and pricing power, a response to an era when a few Gulf states realized they could coordinate production to influence global prices; over time its influence has been challenged by new producers and shifting geopolitical alignments, though it still exerts significant impact on pricing via production decisions.
