Reviews

4.9 out of 5 stars from 7 ratings
  • Just now discovered this podcast via the episode covering India, Modi, and Abhijeet Dipke of the Cockroach Janta Party (ep 14). I very rarely subscribe to any podcast after just 1-2 episodes, but this one motivated me to subscribe instantly.

    I'll try to update this review after I digest several more episodes over the summer.
