“I wish this podcast has been recommended to me early in my life. breadth and depth in each topic has made me look at the world in multitudes of life and perspectives. I am a physics guy and always looked at world from that perspective (like there is one reality and that is described by laws of...”Read full review »

“This is truly one of a kind of podcast from India. Amit is a really smart guy and I have definitely learned a lot from him. He brought a lot of intellectual nuance to his arguments. But as the Law of Diminishing Marginal Returns goes, the podcast became more and more of a circle joke, something...”Read full review »

“I love the way Amit digs into the conversation with ease
His style of listening and passive questioning let’s the guest un-layer himself/herself during the conversation
Highly recommend”

“The content of the show is alright, but the length is too much. They need to make edits and make it crisp. Also , the pronunciation of some words from the host like “dat” for “that “ is quite distracting. It takes the focus away from the podcast. If one is investing on a career in podcast , then...”Read full review »

“Insightful conversation on important subjects, but this podcast just doesn’t respect its audience’s time. It reeks of indulgence and is in severe need of a fresh perspective. Telling a story is an art, and so is the ability to tell it without rambling on for 5 hours. No two people talking will...”Read full review »
