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 Paytm’s First Games ad:
Abhinandan: I don’t know how this world works, Rajyasree. I just don’t know it.
Rajyasree: Oh my god! You have to go and live on that cliff, na, which you’ll push me off. You’ll build a hut on that cliff and become a recluse there. When I come to meet you, then you push me.
Abhinandan: I don’t have to live there, I can just push you off and come back and live my normal life.
Rajyasree: Oh, then life would be so much better, na? You wish!
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 Cuties and Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitare; the 72nd Primetime Emmy Awards; the table read of Fast Times at Ridgemont High; and a whole lot more.
Tune in!
