Gayeti's stuck between two archeologists, quite literally. In this episode of Don't Run Into Glass, we chat with archeologist Disha Ahluwalia, who Anica met in the scorching heat at Harappan site Rakhigarhi, where Disha is leading the Archeological Survey of India's excavation efforts. What's life like on an excavation site? Not as glamorous as Lara Croft would have you believe. Tune in.

In this episode of Don't Run Into Glass, we speak to Mohammad Abood aka DJ MoCity about the independent music scene in India, and how it's changed in the last decade or so. From club gigs at regular haunts such as Elevate and Orange Room, to international recognition and incredible large scale events (we see you Mag Fields!) - the landscape for music in India has seen a dynamic shift. Oh and Arsenal is on top of the league woop - not that Anica, Gayeti or Mo care, but our special guest Gooner sure does!

Ayesha Sood is the director of the Netflix docuseries 'Indian Predator - The Butcher Of Delhi'. Anica is true crime obsessed, while jittery Gayeti is just relieved she has a dog that likes to sleep on the foot of the bed. This episode of 'Don't Run Into Glass' delves into the story of serial killers in India. Tune in - but spoiler alert, watch 'Indian Predator - The Butcher Of Delhi' if you haven't already; we spare no details.   Special thanks to Prithwish Barman and Luke Dewars, for enjoying a nice chianti and for making this happen!

Can the Kohinoor return to India? Tune in to episode 12 of #DontRunIntoGlass, as we discuss colonial loot and its repatriation with art historian and educator Shaleen Wadhwana. Shaleen is part of a team behind what is essentially a guerrilla tour of the British Museum using Instagram filters and augmented reality - an effort to acquaint users with the real history behind the museum's collection. Cool stuff. Watch the full video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Secq26gOdw&t=1085s

In this episode of 'Don't Run Into Glass' - we eat insects! Hey, if insects were a good enough (and readily accessible) source of protein for our pregnant and lactating hunter gatherer ancestors, then they sure as hell are good enough for us. We're joined by Tansha of the Boochi Project who brings us her signature weaver ant chutney and giant water bug chutney, as we discuss the possibility of a new future for food. Are insects the key ingredient in the plan for a more sustainable and climate conscious world?    Artwork by boochi gangmate Gautami Reddy.

Everyone seems to be talking about living a zero-waste sustainable lifestyle. Influencers on our social media feed have ditched high street brands for local home grown names, the neighbour cycles to work every day, Anica has stopped buying tissue paper (you read that right), and Gayeti ... she's just confused where to begin. Cue Ayesha DSouza, a friend of Don't Run Into Glass and someone who has spent a decade experimenting with (and often failing at) living a sustainable lifestyle. Where should Gayeti begin? With her trash apparently - what we're throwing out gives us an idea of what we're consuming. Tune in :) 

How are ancient Indian artefacts finding their way into the bedrooms of tech billionaires? We speak to S Vijay Kumar, who has cultivated quite the reputation -- of a 'idol hunter' of sorts, as he aids authorities and other groups in tracking down stolen ancient artefacts. Tune in
