In today's episode, we're talking about the cocoa crunch in Ghana and Ivory Coast. Due to the effects of El Niño, this season has seen poor cocoa harvests, pushing chocolate companies to either reduce their packaging sizes or increase prices.

And for the deep dive, we're looking into the Mahadev online betting scam and its potential connection to the recent slump in small and mid-cap stocks, which have hit their lowest point in two years. To shed light on this, we're joined by Dinesh Naryanan, Managing Editor of The Signal and The Core.
