Thyagu returns to the pod crew to discuss movies, some cricket, some politcking and a lot of autos. The sound quality still continues to be subpar but work and investment is being done. Or so one hopes.
The pod is back. Some might argue that the pod never went anywhere in the first place but juvenile arguments aside, the pod is back, and back with mostly the same nonsense and some new. Trump, Cricket, Movies are all covered, as ever, and well of course, the L&T Chairman makes an appearance.

Where the pod finally returns, discusses hiatus reasons and then delves into Leo.
Where the pod goes back to being a general-purpose pod, starting with Maamanan, touches upon a man not payting his bills, shines a spotlight on Soren Iverson and his comedy, stealthily approaches Coding Ninjas, discusses leaving movies half way through before moving on to the top topic of the week - the Apple Vision Pro, before finally finishing up on some cricket.
Where the pod goes into Vetri Maran's Vidudhalai Part 1 in depth.
Where the pod embarks on a new season with more of the same nonsense, traversing through a non-review of Pathu Thala, a review of Nanpagal Nerathu Mayakkam, some discussions on Kailasa's UN expedition and some other myriad topics.

Where the pod meanders - rather unpreparedly - through the budget, wades into the Hindenburg row, samples some bloody sweet Leo, plays through the Asia and indeed the World Cups and finished on the passing of Gen. Musharraf and Vani Jairam.
Where the pod continues to look back at 2022. Why, is as yet unknown. Lack of content, most likely.
Part 1 of where the pod looks back at 2022 through the lens of wins and fails in sport and tech.
Where the pod starts with a wrap (not the edible kind), meanders all over the Middle East in the guise of discussing the World Cup, making detours in Iran as well, before turning to matters closer to home with some politics, some movies and some lament on the current state of the media.
