Description
The world is full of fascinating stories, but they're rarely told with the depth they deserve. I'm here to fix that.
I'm Nelson John, and welcome to my show. You might know me from "Top of the Morning" at Mint/Hindustan Times .
Each episode, I take one topic and go deep. Whether it's geopolitics, innovation, the future of our planet, or simply a story that restores your faith in humanity. I don't just tell you what's happening. I explain how and why it works.
If you're curious about the world and want to understand what's really going on beneath the surface, you're in the right place.
