A podcast where I, Vinay Kalva, use the Socratic method to deeply explore the ideas in the books I read. I aim to explore ideas rigorously, while also keeping the experience fun and engaging, using one of the oldest methods of inquiry - Socratic dialogue. Expect a new episode every alternate Saturday.

Disclaimers

This podcast is intended for educational and informational purposes, and does not intend to provide, nor should be understood as providing, advice of any sort. The books are real, and I highly recommend that you (legally!) obtain copies and explore them for yourself. The characters are also real people, and quite fascinating ones. However, the conversations they have, the views that they hold, and the backstory that I have created, are entirely fictional and are work of my own, even if they are based on reality to some extent.
