If you are a serious media buff this podcast is not for you, but if you are looking for a fun conversation that will surly tickle you funny bones while on a long commute, you must check it out. The host are not the most savvy people on pop culture but they make up for their leach of knowledge by having a candid and bantering discussion.
Rajyashree is very entertaining

I have been a listener since Rajyashree used to host AaA with Deepanjana. It is such a refreshing podcast. I continued listening after Abhinandan joined as a co-host even though I do not find his contributions particularly interesting. All credit to Rajyashree that, despite Abhinandan, she has made the podcast super-entertaining!
My favorite podcast now

I love this podcast. I love the banter, forgetfulness and the fun nonsense that happens here. My week is incomplete without an episode. Please don't stop.
