  • Great show

    It is a great show. I love it. My only suggestion is to close not so abruptly. Ask your last question and give the guest the opportunity to articulate his/her final thoughts. I have hear very abrupt end to the show. Hope you sincerely look at this suggestion and try to make appropriate change.

  • Host has ulterior motive

    The anti-BJP bias and ulterior motive of the host is quite apparent. Nothing wrong with that, but it should be stated. This show is a false interpretation of India.

  • Pioneering Content

    After listening to countless fertile and accomplished minds from the states and europe, finally, this seems to be the beginning of the Meta level of debate, discussion and discourse that I have felt severely lacking in India.

    Looking forward to further episodes.
