From measuring depths to assessing friendships and relationships to finding its way into kitchens to getting airtime with Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper, ‘shallow’ has mingled with some rather quirky bedfellows.

This episode tracks people’s opinion about how shallow (or not) is its usage and whether we use it at all these days—and why?

Please note: I conducted several telephonic interviews for this episode. Consequently, the audio for this episode might sound a bit uneven. You may want to begin listening at relatively lower sound levels; you may also want to adjust the sound levels from time to time.
