4.3 out of 5 stars from 1.2k ratings
  • Very unique topic and well done

    This podcast pleasantly surprised me. India has always been interesting to me just due to the pure culture shock that place gives me even prior to me going there. I think this podcast played a very unbiased role in exploring the dark side of India, as well as the situations foreigners get themselves in that they should know to avoid.

  • Great show!

    This was a well written and told story. It was disquieting and I learned new things. It felt real, was empathetic, and was wrapped up with wisdom.

    Some of the people are clearly needy and incredibly naive………& completely open to being conned by unscrupulous pseudo religious individuals that drug and abuse them with no consequences for their actions.
