Customer Reviews
Refreshing and courageous podcast
I recently started listening to your podcast and so glad that TOI sponsors a podcast that is well researched and balanced. This is quite a contrast to your newspaper publication. It’s been so disappointing watching Indian media slowly disintegrate into a cesspool of modi worshipping bigots and lapdogs. Your podcast is refreshing ( and in todays India courageous!). Please keep funding this!
