Data Point: How The Hindu Data Team produced its first podcast series: ‘Vital Signs’

The newsletter delves into the evolution of The Hindu Data Team from single-topic podcasts to a comprehensive series exploring the shifting landscape of student admissions in medical institutions

For some time now, The Hindu Data Team has been at the forefront of producing data-focused podcasts. Sonikka Loganathan anchored all these podcasts. One of our most popular episodes is ‘Data and dams: How Kerala cracked flood management’. In this episode, we engaged with the manager of Kerala’s Idukki dam, exploring how the State managed to prevent floods and associated fatalities despite heavy rainfall in August 2022, especially considering the devastating deluge of 2018.

Additionally, our miniseries on caste discrimination within IITs and IIMs, comprising part 1 and part 2, has received over 4,000 listens for each segment. For more insights into the myriad issues we have covered over the past year, do visit our podcast channel on Spotify.
