The Right People is a podcast series initiated by Centre Right India to highlight people who are not politicians or involved closely with professional politics. CRI talks to those who identify with centre-right politics from across the vast Right framework – economic right-wingers, libertarians, traditionalists, Swadeshi right, etc.
Undoubtedly, these groups bicker much among themselves and are not part of any monolithic Right; however, they all have their place in national politics as long as they represent a community of interests and values within the state. CRI recognizes this diversity and welcomes it, and The Right People tries to talk to different people to better understand their views and aims.
In the third episode of Right People, CRI editor Prasanna has a fascinating discussion with Mediacrooks, a well known blogger and a very prolific media critic. He has unearthed many a expedient news plugging and other unethical practices in India media. Listen to the podcast for a 30 minute chat on what motivates the man and how he keeps it going!
