Another BP Podcast is up. You can listen on Libsyn, iTunes, Spotify, and Stitcher. Probably the easiest way to keep up the podcast since we don’t have a regular schedule is to subscribe at one of the links above.
You can also support the podcast as a patron. The primary benefit now is that you get the podcasts considerably earlier than everyone else. I am toying with the idea of doing a patron Youtube Livestream chat, if people are interested, in the next few weeks.
Would appreciate more positive reviews!
This episode is a conversation with Lisa Mahapatra. We talk about her being a non-woke global human, being an ethnic Oriya, and being a dark-skinned woman. It was a fun conversation because to be frank Lisa is the type of person I’m often friends with. Heterodox, “gives no fucks”, and frank.
Good podcast, you found an interesting and articulate ‘immigrant from India’ voice. I could relate to many of her experiences.
Wish there was more discussion about her career trajectory (how she ended up working for Uber), and how she thinks her life and career would have been different in India vs the US.
One point of non congruence I had was with here explanation of right wing politicization in India. IMO, Hindu nationalist politics is more about opposition to Muslims as a political influence, rather than any specific Hindu emphasis.
