The Emmys were historic this year, and Deepanjana Pal and Rajyasree Sen have some highlights for you. Katrina Kaif won the Smita Patil Memorial Award, and as far as Sen is concerned, it’s not worth outraging over. Find out why. The documentary Bachelor Girls tells us how difficult it is for single women to find a house in Mumbai. In more exotic news, Ellen Page and Ian Daniel’s recent visit to India makes up the new episode of Gaycation. Approach with caution — contains Baba Ramdev, who claims to have a cure for homosexuality. Up your pop culture game with a little help from these two critics. And as always, there’s a question at the end of the podcast. Send us your answers and comments to contact@newslaundry.com.
