  • Brilliant all-star cast

    Ep 500 was a celebration of amazing journalists doing amazing things. Great camaraderie, deep respect for each other. Nice to get a ringside view of the process.

    I’d recommend videotaping and uploading as well. It may be audio but video complements it well.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Killed in America’s War: The Indian Sailors Nobody Apologised For
Q: Right, let me start by asking you, what do we know so far about the circumstances in which these marinas were killed? And what do you think, from your point of view, are the key unanswered questions?
There is clear anger in India and conflicting accounts between CENTCOM and the ship operator, with unanswered questions about the ship's location, its activities, and whether it carried contraband, highlighting the need for independent verification and comprehensive fact-finding.
Corn Man: The Man Who Quietly Cornered Half of India's Popcorn Market
Q: Tell me about the trajectory from the Taj to becoming the fourth largest grower of popcorn in the world.
The journey started with a chance opportunity when a friend in a cinema chain faced popcorn shortages. With little knowledge but a strong belief that popcorn could be grown in India, they licensed and later expanded operations, growing from a small venture to a large, farmer-centric operation spreading across multiple states and dramatically increasing production.
Mythos Blocked: When AI Becomes a Weapon of State
Q: How significant is Project Glasswing for India, and what does it tell us about access to Mythos?
Project Glasswing was a diplomatic effort to obtain access to Mythos, but the episode frames it as a leasing arrangement rather than a durable access win, illustrating how geopolitical moves can shape national cybersecurity postures.
Mythos Blocked: When AI Becomes a Weapon of State
Q: What is the US actually trying to control—software, model weights, or underlying capabilities?
From the legal perspective discussed, it is not just about access to the model weights or software; the government is attempting to restrict access at the level of capability and linked national security concerns, though enforcement is complicated by private company execution.
Can Regional Aviation Finally Take Off In India?
Q: What is the long-term demand outlook for India, especially in tier-2 and tier-3 markets, and how does Fly91 fit into that?
Fly91 expects a conservative 10 aircraft per year delivering to India for the next two decades, with significant expansion into additional stations beyond Udaan routes, leveraging a growing local ecosystem and improved network planning to scale up to 15-18 destinations in the near term.
