  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Facts until opinion’s show up

    I was hooked so long as this show gave me news without opinion. Liz Mathew’s dissection of PM’s Independence Day speech was unnecessary and reeked of opinion.
