Politics attracts a particular kind of creature — which is why accidental politicians, who never meant to be in that game, are a curious breed. In ep 108 of Everything is Everything, @ajay_shah & I share stories of that breed -- & discuss pros and cons: youtube.com/watch?v=rMuSOa…
For almost 80 years, one book has been the go-to book for understanding economics — and the world. In episode 109 of Everything is Everything, @ajay_shah & I pay tribute to Henry Hazlitt's Economics in One Lesson: youtube.com/watch?v=MrN9FT… More eps on great books coming soon!🙂

A really fun chat about Test cricket, and why this strange game has endured for 148 years, with @amitvarma seenunseen.in/episodes/2025/…
Must watch for anyone who wants to understand what these labels mean. Hats off @amitvarma bhai.
Ideological labels can be so confusing. What do we mean by liberal, conservative, socialist, nationalist, left, right? On popular demand, @ajay_shah & I demystify these labels in episode 107 of Everything is Everything: youtube.com/watch?v=iy8NXe… This ep is a labour of love. 🙂
Brilliant episode.
Cricket is an unusual game with an unusual history — which reveals so much about our society & our times. @timwig joins me in episode 422 of The Seen and the Unseen to discuss the history of Test cricket — and how the game is changing today: seenunseen.in/episodes/2025/… Good fun!🙂

another excellent episode of everything is everything from @amitvarma & @ajay_shah this was a masterclass youtu.be/iy8NXey9m5M?si…

Yep, that was a great episode with @sugataraju! And here's my EIE episode he refers to on the Art of Podcasting: youtube.com/watch?v=pAwLjP…
An old colleague of mine, more a fan of @amitvarma, sent me this clip. It is from Amit’s masterclass on the art of podcasting, done a year ago, which I had not seen. It’s incredible that people still write to me about the 5.5hr conversation I had with Amit in early 2022. 1/2
The Caste Census is a complex issue. This episode of #TSATU with @amitvarma @pranaykotas & a colleague was instructive. share.google/pOufsVNVD00ED9…
In an act of mad bravado, @ajay_shah & I decided to predict what the world will be like in 2050. Of course we will be wrong! But who will remember? 🤓 This episode was mad fun to do. Please watch, like, share, subscribe! youtube.com/watch?v=19Z2Yc…
This is world-class trolling. Greg is such a legend!
We are now closer to the year 3000 than we are from 1950 Let that sink in
Too much of our history is looked at through either a colonial lens or a patriarchal one. Ira Mukhoty (@mukhoty) joins me in ep 421 of The Seen and the Unseen to share her gaze on India's history, & all it has taught her: seenunseen.in/episodes/2025/… I loved this conversation!🙂
Such a pleasure speaking to @amitvarma once again, after a gap of over 5 years on The Seen and the Unseen. Do listen to ep 421
