Spreading Of Rubbish? 

Podcasting, in the past few years, has been in the limelight, and several wannabe podcasters try to misuse it by influencing people with diabolical education. So much so that young minds who are looking for something to form an opinion based on are injected with unnecessary political viewpoints. 

Also, in 2023, ‘Alpha Male podcasts’ were also a thing, apparently. These podcasts were heavily conceptualized around how different people must behave under the purview of gender. Unfortunately the wrongs overshadow the rights here. Shaming individuals sometimes becomes the objective of these so-called ‘red pill’ podcasts. 

However, that portion of podcasting covers only a tiny part of the podcasting ‘industry’. Indian podcasts give out so many educational and subject based podcasts on Youtube that focus on geopolitics, history, economics, and what not. 

Beerbiceps and ANI Podcast with Smiti Prakash are some of the most notable ones that talk about the different economic, political, and historical issues arising or that have arisen in the past. This is done by having several learned scholars who have immense knowledge in their respective fields. 

Conclusion 

All in all, podcasting is one of the best ways to educate citizens or individuals about any subject. It is in our hands to not drift towards the ugly side of this industry, as everything has its pros and cons.
