I just want to say podcasts are amazing for those of us outside of the centers of power (DC, London, Delhi, etc.) that want a sense of "the conversation" in those centers. To give but a few examples from things I listened to this week. 1/n

There was @srinathraghava3 and @Mukherjee_Anit surveying Indian defense reforms. These people know a lot about this topic. 2/n https://twitter.com/CarnegieIndia/status/1294236517485940738?s=20

There was @tanvi_madan , @SheenaGreitens , & James Steinberg talking on India-China-US relations. I've listened to & participated in a lot of events on this topic, but this might be the best podcast for, say, students trying to understand this topic. 3/n https://twitter.com/tanvi_madan/status/1297155436290945026?s=20

There is a quite interesting podcast between @nktpnd & @WonkVJ that does a good job of talking about work habits & "brand-building" for early to mid-career analysts. Everyone is trying to do this, but people don't talk about it much. They should! 4/n https://www.undiplomaticpodcast.com/episodes/65 

Grand Tamasha, hosted by @MilanV , just dropped an episode with Pratap Bhanu Mehta. Grand Tamasha's great. PBM's great. 5/n https://twitter.com/MilanV/status/1298440026938683392?s=20

Sure, in the corridors of power, there is another hidden conversation, but that was true even in the realm of invite-only think tank events. Now at least the public but hard-to-access conversation is much more accessible. That's amazing. And you can do dishes while listening! n/n

Just to be clear, the reason the Horns of the Dilemma podcast is so good for students isn't because it's elementary. It's quite advanced. Rather it takes the trouble of spending a few minutes on covering the history, as well as the nitty gritty of today. https://twitter.com/tanvi_madan/status/1297155436290945026?s=20
