Reviews

4.6 out of 5 stars from 1.7k ratings
  • Great topics and speakers but just too long

    The podcast features great thinker’s and focuses on interesting topics. But…..1+ hour is just too tedious and many times the subject is repeated to tie point of grinding it into dust. Also Ms Prakash needs to be aware of facts before shooting from the hip. American military “being blown to smithereens”. It’s laughable.

  • A Must-Listen Podcast

    Smita Prakash's ANI podcast is a fantastic listen. Her conversations are consistently informative and often surprisingly fun, like the memorable "Samosa Caucus" episode. I always come away with valuable insights. Highly recommended for anyone seeking engaging and enlightening discussions especially if it regarding geo politics!

  • Poor episode. Not knowing the difference between neutralizing and murder, rpg and grenade... Points to very poor meeting prep, if any at all. Made it feel like a shallow attempt at a very serious topic. Please sharpen your pencils before the paper is distributed.
