2020 was a not-so-good year for a lot of good reasons but one thing that shone right through this year was when the entire world went under the lockdown, and health workers took to the frontline and there was this uncomfortable eerie silence, the content creators kept us afloat. From Ali Sethi’s live (Pardon my biases) to our various favourite content creators getting up close personal via Live sessions and podcasts or other media. To every boomer and every millennial out there science over commerce and arts, when science took the fight at the frontline keeping the fight of survival, commerce and arts at the back end were making sure the existing civilization floats. (Wasnt supposed to be a rant).
So as we glide through this year, apart from all the cinema, the music and the DIYs and the Dalgona coffee one thing which came to the surface were Podcasts. Podcasts in a very layman language are where a person or more than one person come together and they talk. Now this talk can be about anything but the cache is that there is no video. Now, this sounds a lot like radio but wherein we cannot record radio, podcasts are mostly pre-recorded and often hold a better archival value.
Now of all the podcasts existing, here’s a bunch of podcasts that we want you to hear and you might as well discover more of its kind.
