Congratulations BR and the Galatta + team for being top notch. The production quality has been terrific, be it the promos, the set design, or the wardrobe game.
The spread of guests invited so far has been fantastic, and the conversations superlative!

Congratulations, BR! That was fast. It definitely feels like there’s a lot more content now, especially on the video side.
One of those things that I hope carries over from the FC times, are the “field interviews”. I know there weren’t many— I remember Mysskin, Manikandan and Pasupathy, and all three were very memorable. There was a looseness about those interviews that makes them feel very different from the formal sit down/spotlight kind.
Anyway, here’s to many more milestones!!
