So in the last podcast of 2020 Kushal has a chat with Aashish Chandorkar and Shambhav Sharma about the stream of events in 2020. We look at the good, bad, and ugly of this year and then discuss what can we expect from 2021. We also discuss how systemic erosion has crept up in old-world institutions, how leftism is a new religion and how sports have been able to cope up with the pandemic.
