In this podcast, Kushal speaks with Kushan Mitra and Shivangi Deshwal about the rising incel culture of India. The internet has given a false sense of comfort to all sorts of behaviours, and the Indian incel has found his home on Reddit threads and other platforms. What are the potential harms and solutions to this rising trend?

In this podcast, Kushal speaks with Ramprasad about the potential harms of social media on children. Is it time to have an honest discussion about doomscrolling in India? Can we do something about this issue? Is there a sensible way to regulate these companies while people get to use these platforms and get a statutory warning?

In this podcast, Kushal speaks with Tushar about a claim being made constantly by folks on social media, especially YouTubers and Instagram content creators, along with their PR agencies. All of them claim that mainstream media is dead and that people, especially the youth, do not go to them for their news. What do the numbers say? Also, is mainstream media dead, or are they actually in their best phase thanks to the internet and independent content creators using them to create their content?

I also want to thank Sougat Chakraborty, who helped me dig up the numbers for these channels/handles online.
