@amitvarma I thoroughly enjoyed this episode ❤️.

If you want to understand what govt looks like from the inside, how policy was shaped in the last few decades, how politics & governance intersect, you'll love this conversation. The wise KP Krishnan is my guest in episode 355 of The Seen and the Unseen: seenunseen.in/episodes/2023/…

@amitvarma @timurkuran 🤩. Can’t wait to listen.

So I got @timurkuran on The Seen and the Unseen, and the episode was even more packed with insight than I'd expected: seenunseen.in/episodes/2023/… Insights about the Middle East, about Islam, about these current times, about human nature. So many TILs! Listen. It's a classic.

@amitvarma , @tanejamainhoon - 7.5 hrs 😲 -started Monday and finished Friday. ❤️ the episode. Wishing it was was 3 hrs longer 😉 to fill the weekend listening slots as well.

@amitvarma @_alice_evans @amitvarma another great episode. I had to go from 2x to 1.2x speed to catch all the insights coming out of @_alice_evans 😀.

We’re in the 21st century, & it would seem that the world is finally moving towards gender equality, right? Not so fast. @_alice_evans joins me in episode 297 of The Seen and the Unseen to discuss why some places are crawling slower than others: seenunseen.in/episodes/2022/…

@amitvarma @cbhanp @cbhanp , @amitvarma - fabulous episode 🙏

The most effective cure for caste is not top-down patronage but bottom-up capitalism. Chandra Bhan Prasad (@cbhanp) joins me in episode 296 of The Seen and the Unseen to explain why his two great heroes are Babasheb Ambedkar & Adam Smith: seenunseen.in/episodes/2022/…

@KyleTibbitts Another recent migrant here and my experience is very similar to yours.

@amitvarma @Rukmini JIT. I just finished last weeks 5 hr looong episode 😀

You may think you have India figured out — but do you? @Rukmini joins me in episode 261 of The Seen and the Unseen to describe how examining data made her see so much that was, well, unseen: seenunseen.in/episodes/2022/… Many TIL moments about India in this episode, & in her book.

Gotta read the whole thread.

Did you know that the holes in Bourbon biscuits are designed to allow steam to escape so that the pressure build up doesn’t crack the biscuit as they are cooling? Would love to hear other physics of food facts for an upcoming workshop I’m working on. #PhysEd #STEMeducation

@ashwinmahesh @amitvarma @pbmehta Hey @ashwinmahesh 😀hope all is well. I started listening to @amitvarma after your chat with him on participatory democracy and now I’m hooked. Would love for you to do a regular podcast as well.

In order to pull down somebody, you have to find only one mistake. For detractors, that's enough. But that also means blind faith is the only way to steadfastly back a politician - @amitvarma talks to @pbmehta this week on The Seen and the Unseen. seenunseen.in

@odonnell004 @mattbarcomb @adblanche Same. I draw satisfaction in physically crushing my todo list end of the day/ tossing into the bin. I also don’t rely on one go to way to GSD anymore. I mix it up for variety & experiment to build new routines/habits.

@amitvarma @law_et_al @amitvarma this one was special. I’m a huge fan. I wait for your pod updates with the same enthusiasm that I had for the world this week back in my teen years.

India has a predatory state. Nothing illustrates this better than the sorry state of our street vendors. Prashant Narang (@law_et_al) joins me in episode 179 of The Seen and the Unseen to elaborate on this unseen tragedy of the streets around us: seenunseen.in/episodes/2020/…
