Y’all aren’t using the word consent nearly enough ...
Agree, seems like a very interesting series, but without translation we can't get the full picture. This version seems awesome for those that speak English and Hindi, but there should also be a translated one.
Very disappointing. I was really interested in the story of Nisha, the taxi driver, but none of her dialogue is translated into English. If the podcast was meant for non-English speakers, that would be fine, but all the narration is in English, so it seems like the full picture can only be appreciated by people who are bilingual. I wish there had been a warning in the description about this.
