In every episode, the host chats with guests as they share their diverse experiences, perspectives, and expertise on an issue—water security, gender, climate change, caste, mental health, and more. The goal is to get people to explore their similarities and differences, and find a new, shared understanding. New episode out every Wednesday.

    This podcast will make you uncomfortable (in the best way)
    Halfway through Season 1 and I love the slow-thought pace of this show. It takes its time to develop ideas. It’s not after sound bites. It’s not surface-level. The host, Arun Maira, is deliberative and thoughtful, and the show producers from IDR have clearly put a lot of care and effort into the guest pairings. Go somewhere else if you want high-decibel attacks, but stick around if you want to learn the heart of the matter from the people who know. It’ll make you squirm in your seat, then vow to be a better person in your life. Subscribe!!!
