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.
ContributeWhile talking about Raat Akeli Hai:
Rajyasree: I would not recommend it but if you all have time, you all should watch. What else is everyone doing? You’re sitting at home. Watch it.
Abhinandan: You know only you are! Everybody is working by the way.
Rajyasree: I’m working. I do three things...
Abhinandan: Then why do you assume...“Since all of you are sitting home doing nothing. Abhinandan, you don’t watch anything, you’re sitting and doing nothing.” Why do you assume everybody’s sitting and doing nothing?
Rajyasree: Why? I’m assuming people manage their time like I do. I cater, I do a full-time job, and I do this podcast and some other things.
Abhinandan: Rajyasree, I think on January 26 you should get to ride on the elephant with the bahadur bachhas of India who salute the President.
Rajyasree: You should make an elephant, na? Make a little statue over here.
Abhinandan: Yeah, you can do that. Then you can congratulate yourself.
Rajyasree: Nobody is congratulating me, I might as well congratulate myself.
Rajyasree and Abhinandan burst out laughing.
This and a whole lot of other stuff awful and awesome as Abhinandan Sekhri and Rajyasree Sen discuss the films Raat Akeli Hai and Lootcase, Netflix documentary Three Identical Strangers, Roger Federer’s new commercial for Barilla, and Nike ad You Can’t Stop Us.
