The Latest Breaking News from Abhinandan

Hafta letters: Space exploration, Sudha Murty, Manipur videos

I religiously listen to both NL Hafta and NL Charcha. Many a times I feel an element of non-seriousness in Hafta discussions. For instance, in one of the past episodes, Abhinandan wasn’t aware of who late Anupam Mishra was, while Atul called him his guru. As a listener, I find…

Hafta letters: Atheists, moon missions, US court systems

Hey NL team, it’s दिवगुन्न btw. I thought it best to type out in Hindi. My suggestion to the NL team is if they can start film discussions, critique and roundtables with sound designers, cinematographers and writers. As somebody who works in the film industry, it is sad to not…

TV Newsance 218: BeerBiceps and Godi Media’s similar treatment of Modi govt

This week, Abhinandan brings you the worst of the worst of TV news, but with a tinge of nostalgia and juxtaposition.

Hafta letters: Influencer collaborations, religion and MP urination case

Hi team! I loved the Hafta episode on right-wing influencers. I have noticed a lot of similar ones popping up on YouTube. They seem to have a similar formula where they peddle conspiracy theories first – the ‘Vedic sages flew spaceships’ type. They slowly start to hate mongering and get…

Hafta letters: Sex and gender, hacking, the Mahabharata, land ownership

Regarding Sekhri's response to my letter, I had already qualified my response by saying that I am not asking you to go educate yourself. I was not even getting into whether I agree or disagree with you. The suggestion was that you do not forcefully shut down someone who knows…

Newslaundry

Hafta letters: CoWIN data leak, swearing on Hafta, Uttarakhand discussion

Request Abhinandan/Manisha to read this letter. I don't think I’m alone in this feeling but I like Abhinandan swearing on the podcast, it conveys a deep emotion of feeling fucked. It might be crude, but "fuck" is a feeling that at least begins to address the bizarre unfolding of events…

Hafta letters: Pronunciations, gender, swearing, app feedback

Hello. Could you please restore the RSS link so that we can access this podcast in a generic podcast player like Overcast or Apple podcasts. I used to be able to do so until a recent update to your app. Thank you.

Mukhtar Ansari booked for 'Mukhtar' in one, 'Mokhtar' in another ID

LUCKNOW: A case of cheating and dishonesty has been registered against jailed ganglord Mukhtar Ansari after it was found that personal documents recovered from his barrack during a raid on Friday had different date of birth and spellings of his name.

Hafta letters: Encounter killings, Dalai Lama, a friend through NL

Does the Indian police have a department such as internal affairs in the US? I’ve seen Hollywood movies where IA officers investigate crimes committed by police, whether it’s torture, financial irregularities, custodial deaths, encounter killings, etc.

Hafta letters: Privilege, prep for 2024 election, collaborations

In the last Hafta on the issue of the central government not allowing anything against Modi, most panelists missed the point that even in state governments, the CM or party leader cannot be criticised by anyone without inviting the ire of the state government. Can one criticise Stalin in TN…

Newslaundry

Hafta letters: Caste discrimination, Khalistan questions, a poem on Hathras

Dear panel,

Hafta letters: Conservative news platforms, Sudha Bharadwaj interview, SC rulings

Hi NL team, I had a request and a suggestion.

TV Newsance 204: Uncles Arnab and Aman Chopra on primetime news

This week, Abhinandan is back to hosting duties in Manisha’s absence to bring you the worst of the worst from the world of TV news.

Newslaundry

Hafta letters: NL interview problems, Adani coverage, Ravish job offer

Raman sir and Abhinandan, you asked if any country is capitalist/socialist? Well, socialism and capitalism are not mere labels that can be put on countries and then be defended or ridiculed. They are policy frameworks. A policy is as capitalist as it fits in that framework and the laws as…

Hafta letters: Babones interview, ignorance on caste, thoughts on spirituality

Great job, NL team, throughout the year, be it election coverage or the great job in ground reporting...

Newslaundry

Hafta letters: Salvatore Babones interview, best NL stories, praise for app

I feel like my mails are always critical of NL (and almost exclusively of Abhinandan). But I expect nothing but excellence from NL, and when that doesn't happen, I feel the need call it out, because I, like many subscribers, want NL to do well and gain wider audience.

Newslaundry

Hafta letters: NL interviews, renouncing citizenship, podcast player issues

While listening to last week's Hafta, Abhinandan mentioned that current subscribers should mobilise and bring in new subscribers.

Hafta letters: Climate change, free market ideas, average news consumers

I just have one question to those backing the "we are the poor countries, let the right countries do it first" theorists, and the "per capita emissions" theorists.

Newslaundry

Hafta letters: Against labels, language chauvinism, communist propaganda

In Hafta 405, I loved Abhinandan’s exasperation at how Bongs at a workplace start chatting in Bengali. I guess this is the common experience of non-Hindi speakers at all workplaces where Hindi speakers expect everyone else to join in Hindi. Then, even if you try, they will crack a joke…
