Abhishek at IndiCast talks to Minton Beddoes, the Economist’s Economics Editor (forgive the alliteration) on seemingly complex issues like foreclosures, subprime crisis, and inter-bank rates and in turn, presents economics for the aam aadmi.
Ashish Ddavidd, a former vocalist for Indian rock band Them Clones, has been radio jockeying for a while now and he’s launched a podcast profiling and showcasing some of the better known and upcoming rock acts in the Indian independent rock scene. Due to its underground nature, and a lack of podcasts in this genre Aashish’s venture seems a promising addition.

 Mohandas has a podcast post with Osho’s lecture on the four letter mystical syllable (FKUC). Strictly for adults only. The lecture fully deals with the “classified word” and hence use of computer speakers is up to the individual discretion.
 Deskian  has an audio clip where Binaural Recording technology has been used. Amazing experience for first time audience. Use your headphones not your computer speakers. Not to be missed.
