Academia meets pop culture in this podcast which examines themes from The Mahabharata and common Fantasies such as Game of Thrones. Each episode thinks about how all these pieces of literature contain elements of escapism and relate to our real lives in one way or the other. Every episode features a different story from Devdutt Pattanaik's Jaya. The story is always linked back to some piece of current media. Mahabharata and Star Wars were always supposed to meet, this series just helps speed the introduction!
