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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why everything feels more expensive right now
Q: How do wages interact with inflation in different sectors?
Wages across salaried and self-employed groups have generally lagged inflation, while casual labor wages have risen more slowly and often remain low, leading to worsening affordability for most workers despite some pockets of wage growth.
Why everything feels more expensive right now
Q: What are the main reasons prices go up over time?
Prices rise mainly due to imbalances between demand and supply, where demand grows faster than supply, and due to increases in the money supply which raises the general price level.
The Sarla Bhat case, India's fake drug crackdown, and WhatsApp's username
Q: What does the new charge sheet reveal about the investigation?
The charge sheet cites medical and ballistic findings, a terror note, eyewitness accounts, and links to JKLF leadership, illustrating a case reopened after decades.
The Sarla Bhat case, India's fake drug crackdown, and WhatsApp's username
Q: Who was Sarla Bhat and what happened to her?
Sarla Bhat was a 27-year-old nurse abducted and killed in 1990, with investigators now linking her case to the JKLF through the charge sheet and medical/eyewitness evidence.
Tackling women's reservation, Wayanad landslide, and a 30 year long scam
Q: What are the political challenges the NDA faces in pushing this through?
The NDA needs a two-thirds majority in both houses, which requires cross-party support; defections and the stance of regional parties such as DMK impact the numbers for approval.
