A good but flawed podcast
Nicely constructed—just the right length, anywhere between 30 and 45 minutes, which is optimal—and a nice balance in topic selection between India’s external posture and its domestic achievements and challenges. However, the host, Milan Vaishnav, could benefit from adopting a less earnest tone. Too often, he sounds as if he is too eager to please, or maybe just wants to come across as unthreatening to the interviewee. Also can he drop the sentence filler “right?” with even the blandest declaration. This is a disingenuous device to extract an agreement with the interviewee. I wish someone would reply “no, not right”

A very talented and knowledgeable host, but way too many episodes are book reviews on esoteric topics. The latter point robs the show of its focus and impact, in my view.
