The pop culture podcast that isn’t afraid to pop the bubble.
The media must be free and fair, uninfluenced by corporate or state interests. That's why you, the public, need to pay to keep news free.
ContributeTalking about The Crooner Sessions:
Rajyasree: Gary Barlow of Take That who I used to love absolutely...
Abhinandan: Ooh, Take That was that band na, what was it, that song of theirs that was a big hit.
Rajyasree: (Singing) Take me back for…I’m not singing it!
Abhinandan: I haven’t heard that. At least what you just sang.
Rajyasree: (Humming the song) Like you know what I mean.
Abhinandan: Rajyasree, it’s not that you are a bad singer. You’re terrible!
Rajyasree: No, no, I will sing that song. Come on...
Abhinandan: Okay, remain charitable. Don’t torture our listeners.
Rajyasree and Abhinandan burst out laughing.
This and a whole lot of other stuff awful and awesome as Abhinandan Sekhri and Rajyasree Sen discuss films The Platform and Portrait of a Lady on Fire; Netflix series After Life; Apple TV’s Home Before Dark; docuseries The Last Dance; and Aarogya Setu ad film.
