Sam

Hi team,

Thank you for your time, I can't access any TNM content on the NL app, mainly LME by Pooja in the Podcast section.

Hi NL team,

I'm a longtime listener of Hafta, Charcha and Awful & Awesome. NL articles are also one of my favourite reads. My question today is towards how to be objective and unbiased, and try to not become part of an echo chamber in today's day and age of algorithms. What would each of you recommend to read from time to time that gives a view of what right-wing writers are writing and what is forming opinions in the right-wing?

While I fully understand the requirement of the current system of reading letters in NL Hafta, personally I’m not a big fan of it. It discourages letter writing and interaction as they are likely to be read once in a month or so. On the other hand this has made me pivot to NL Charcha which has become my favourite podcast (sorry, Hafta team) as apart from the great content the interaction through letters to Charcha team is much easier. Regardless, I still follow hafta weekly and appreciate the great work NL does day to day.
