  • S2:E3: Obi Or Not To Be (Star Wars, Part 2)
    Welcome back to Homeroom Time, to the second and final episode of our Star Wars Not That Much Of A Holiday Special! 
    We have, back with us, our interim host (and regular co-host) Atul Parida, interim co-host Salil Waknis, and guests Chinmay Ghaskadbi and Tanish Sodhi.
    While in the last episode we discussed The Bad Batch, we're opening the floor for more discussion and speculation on other upcoming Star Wars series like Obi-Wan Kenobi, The Mandalorian Season 3, Ahsoka, and The Acolyte, all likely to release by the end of the year. 2021 is one hell of a year for Star Wars and we at Homeroom Time understand that. Some interesting (Sith?) revelations come about in this episode, and be sure to check out our upcoming episodes on Twitch too! 
    Oh, and make sure to send us fan mail and voice messages, we'd love to get feedback and hear your opinions on what goes on in our series!
    Till next time!

  • S2:E2: Good Students Follow Star Wars (Star Wars, Part 1)
    Welcome back to Homeroom Time after another (unscheduled) hiatus! Today is quite an episode for all of us here at Homeroom Time!
    Joining the interim host (and regular co-host) Atul Parida, we have the interim co-host Salil Waknis, and guests Chinmay Ghaskadbi and Tanish Sodhi, discussing one of the biggest shows Disney's released since WandaVision: The Bad Batch, a special series about the members of Clone Force 99 first seen in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. We discuss several points about what we like about the series, stuff we want to get from the series, and some rather interesting revelations about our own viewpoints, while discussing the ethics and rationality of Star Wars as a whole!
    Oh, did I forget to mention? This is a two-part series! Join us in the second part of this episode, where we continue this discussion from a broader angle, discussing Star Wars (and the upcoming TV shows) as a whole!

  • Episode 5: A Tale of Two Accents (Part 1)

    Specials Week is dead. Long live Specials Week. In our return to Podcast High, our host Arjun Nilakantan, co-host Aman Lalwani, and guests Akash Ramaswamy, Salil Waknis, and Mansha Bhandari discuss the greatest (as well as most humorous) differentiator of people in the world: accents. The hosts and guests discuss the identity crises related to having a foreign accent in your native country, their personal favorite accents, the advantages and disadvantages of harboring multiple accents, or even faking an accent, and the stereotypes associated with certain accents, and much much more. This episode is the first part of a two part series on accents and nicknames: there's even more to go over.
