Sudhir joins us once again to share the first-hand experience of getting POFMA-ed after his company, Jom Media, received the notice in 2023. He also shares his thoughts on the local political scene, his excitement for the upcoming election as well as why “slow journalism” is important for issues like the Israel-Gaza conflict. He also shares a peek into 2 long-form pieces his team is publishing on what’s happening in the middle east. And not to forget the topics of Pritam, Iswaran & the latest video by President Tharman.
