Great banter on the great game!
Amazing podcast which is keeping me company on my walks! Love the game, and love the fact that there’s a space for the South Asian stance!
Good all round show with a great south asian focus
As the title suggests I really like the South Asian twist. I like the banter between the hosts and little cultural snippets. Also the facts that they are able to attract good guests and conduct good interviews.
