Newslaundry Podcast

On this week's Hafta, our columnist TS Sudhir joins the regular panel of Madhu Trehan, Abhinandan Sekhri, Anand Ranganathan and Deepanjana Pal. Sudhir has been providing some of the best updates and reports on how Jayalalithaa's final days unfolded and he gives us all the news from the Southern front. Did Jayalalithaa really pass away at 5pm, as some news channels reported? Why were all the MLAs called in and made to sign a blank sheet of paper? Was O Panneerselvam sworn in as the new CM in a rush? There's also discussion on the RBI leaving a few journalists out of its press conference and demonetisation. Find out what our panellists think about Trump winning the TIME's Person Of The Year and there's a musical bonus in this episode since Sekhri taps into his ghazal-loving side to bring a song that's perfect for this season of demonetisation. Listen, learn and enjoy!As always, we've also got reader's comments. If you'd like to get your words in, write to us at contact@newslaundry.comFor references visit:https
