IRrelevant Matters with Ghosh

Let's be honest- The world's a mess. The media's louder than ever. And the flow of information, does not really stop. In the middle of it all, this small platform cuts through the noise—breaking down global issues into simple takes, one biased, 40-minute episode at a time. Born from an idea by a Class 9 kid, this podcast is for anyone trying to survive the assignment grind while keeping up with the world. Cheers, A.G.
