What's The Chakkar? The Chakkar presents our very first podcast, a sampler of our tastes. This month, in conversation with Ady Manral, Urmi Bhattacheryya, and Shaista Vaishnav, we hail singer-songwriters from Northeast Indian states and listen to the new single “Give Me My Soul Back” by Abdon Mech; dive into the film AK vs AK with critiques on meta-cinema and Indian celebrity culture; and end with a discussion on a couple of books by Annie Zaidi and Yaa Gyasi. Hosted by Karan Madhok.
