  • Please separate playlists for national interests and cut the clutter

    Thanks a lot for the amazing content, Shekhar ji and team.

    I would love it if the national interest feed is separated from cut the clutter. I enjoy both but sometimes can’t spare the time for following everything!

  • Praveen Swami >> Shekhar Gupta

    Praveen Swami has an immense flair for detailed and interesting storytelling, whereas Shekhar Gupta’s Cut The Clutter is full of clutter and forced metaphors, it is difficult listen.

  • Good content but Disappointing presenters

    The content is excellent; however, the podcast presenters are mostly disappointing. Some rush through the material, ending sentences unclearly and making it difficult to follow.

  • Shekhar gupta alone!

    Shekhar Gupta carries the podcast on his shoulder. The associate editors are below average and their narration is flat and boring. I wonder how they haven’t realised that yet.

  • Content is good but several technical issues

    The content is good but they really need to invest in better audio editors. Outtakes and cuts are all kept in. The host repeats the same thing over and over until they get it right and all takes are kept in. This should be a lot more seamless to listen to.
