  • 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.

Express Investigation: Inside Delhi's killer dust crisis
Q: Tell us what have been some of your biggest findings?
The MRSM coverage is heavily skewed toward certain routes and zones, with many areas—especially outer Delhi—receiving far less attention, and a large number of machines operating only part of the time, which undermines the potential to reduce overall dust exposure.
SIR's legality, CBSE digital evaluation row, and a building collapse
Q: Apurva, so, you know, the SIR process had been challenged by a number of people, a number of organizations. A lot of people argued that this is unconstitutional. Talk about what is the reason that the Supreme Court has upheld its legal validity.
The court reasons that the EC's power to conduct a special intensive revision is grounded in Article 324, and that while there are concerns about overreach, the process can be constitutionally compliant when interim measures address concrete gaps, and the ruling validates the methodology while acknowledging areas that required corrective interventions.
Maharashtra's Marathi mandate, plea for a memorial, and India's SHG scheme
Q: How are families and officials navigating the debate over the crash site memorial versus redevelopment?
Families urge preserving at least part of the site as a memorial, while officials argue reconstruction of medical infrastructure is urgent; the key is balancing emotional memory with practical healthcare needs.
Maharashtra's Marathi mandate, plea for a memorial, and India's SHG scheme
Q: What exactly is this Marathi language requirement and why has it become a major issue for drivers?
The requirement asks drivers to demonstrate basic working knowledge of Marathi, with assessments conducted on-field across the state, affecting licenses and permits as part of a broader push to improve communication with passengers.
Delhi hotel fire, Rajkot labour room video case, and cracks in INDIA bloc
Q: How did the Rajkot hospital CCTV breach surface to authorities and the public?
Authorities traced the videos back to a maternity hospital in Rajkot after initial social media circulation, then coordinated with YouTube/Google to shut down handles and traced the hackers through online sale channels, confirming an external breach with no insider involvement.
