The ZENERGY Podcast: Climate Leadership, Finance and Technology
Welcome to The Zenergy Podcast! Karan recently had the pleasure of attending DC Climate Week where he sat down with today's guest, John Holm. John is Senior Vice President of Partnership Development at Pyxera Global, a company aiming to solve big problems one community at a time. They discuss what drew John into this line of work and how he transitioned to Pyxera Global. Then, Karan and John chat about the company's mission, how they have been able to engage the private sector in meaningful and effective ways, and how they are helping companies to unlock the mantra “reduce, reuse, repurpose” within their supply chain. We lean into the topic of critical minerals and discuss what changed in recent years to bring critical minerals to the forefront of policy and corporate strategy conversations. Then, we touch briefly on the role of tariffs and conclude with John's perspective on what success looks like for companies genuinely committed to circularity in 2030. Thanks for listening!

Ljubitelji hrvatske glazbe, kako u domovini tako i diljem svijeta, teško će zaboraviti Olivera Dragojevića. Rođen u Splitu, a odrastao u Veloj Luci na otoku Korčuli, Oliver je svojim glasom i pjesmama obilježio živote mnogih. Nažalost, prerano nas je napustio 29. srpnja 2018. godine, prije nego što je uspio održati planiranu australsku turneju. No njegov duh i glazba nastavljaju živjeti kroz projekt Tragom Olivera, koji od 25. svibnja do 1. lipnja 2025. donosi koncerte u Melbourneu, Sydneyju i Perthu. Jedan od glazbenika koji sudjeluje u ovoj turneji je i Goran Karan. Poznat po snažnom i emotivnom glasu, već desetljećima osvaja srca publike. Goran za naš radio govori o koncertima, australskoj turneji, ali i o tome koliko i kako je Oliver utjecao na njegovu karijeru.

Then, they touch on the ways utility companies and grid operators can help and how hyperscalers contract supply. They delve into the criteria hyperscalers and datacenter developers look for when evaluating where to build new datacenters and assess what the most important considerations are for a new datacenter location and the data each facility will house.

Nadine Whitney had the wonderful opportunity to speak with Karan Kandhari and Radhika Apte about Sister Midnight and how as original and ‘weird' as it is, it's also representative of people who are rarely seen as (essential) inhabitants of Mumbai. Both Karan and Radhika are an absolute joy to listen to. Kandhari's film is a marvel of inventiveness. The work itself breaks the rules of what is considered genre cinema by never settling on one. Sister Midnight is much like the artist who performed the song after which it is named. Igwald Popstar – known to people who haven't chosen a ridiculous nickname for him as Iggy Pop or James Newell Osterberg Jr., – a man for whom conformity is as anathema as wearing a shirt. It's punk, it's unpredictable, and it has no time to explain itself to people who aren't feeling its strange and wonderful rhythms.Uma and Gopal barely speak to each other but when Uma does open her mouth the crude (but funny) invectives pour out. Her spikiness doesn't bother her neighbour Sheetal (Chhaya Kadam) greatly who takes her under her own resigned wing. However, even when Uma tries (and fails) to be wifely Gopal isn't particularly receptive preferring instead to drink alone than to accommodate Uma. When they do try to be a young couple, they end up taking a pointless thirteen-hour excursion to a beach, only to have to turn around and go home again. Life seems to demand that when they are with each other it is in extremely close quarters which makes Uma more aggressive and Gopal more avoidant. The green wedding bangles she wears (and shakes in anger) become shackles she can't wait to have cut off.Uma begins to make her own way through the city encountering other people whose lives are on the fringes. A trans sex worker who feels a kind of kinship with Uma's oddness. An elevator attendant in a building she begins working at as a cleaner (“Can you clean?” Uma is asked. “I'm a domestic goddess.” She replies), and then there are the goats who seem to follow her wherever she goes. Something is rising in her – something feral and undeniable – neither welcomed nor wholly unwelcomed.Trying to describe what goes on in Sister Midnight is much like humming a blisteringly brilliant song and hoping your paltry version matches up. Karan Kandhari's marvellous vision simply needs to be seen and heard (the soundtrack is incredible) for the fantastic jolts to pull you into its idiosyncratic and singular orbit.Sister Midnight is vivid and infectious. Radhika Apte is towering as Uma who inability to just “be a person” makes her an outlaw setting her own rules. Expect the unexpected in Sister Midnight and trust wherever it takes you is going to be rebellious and irresistible. Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Bluesky @thecurbau.

The ZENERGY Podcast: Climate Leadership, Finance and Technology
Welcome to The Zenergy Podcast! Today, host Karan Takhar has the pleasure of speaking with Bradley Pischea, National Director of the Land and Liberty Coalition, which is part of the Conservative Energy Network. They sit down to discuss the work the Coalition is doing in advocating for clean and renewable energy policy and development from a right of center standpoint in states around the U.S. They touch on the reasons why Bradley believes clean energy became a partisan issue, how the conversation around clean energy and renewables has shifted over the years, and how the coalition uses a proactive versus reactive approach to communicating with citizens. Bradley and Karan discuss the concerns those in typically conservative communities have about the transition to clean energy in their areas and how developers can speak to community stakeholders in ways that factor in that community's specific needs. This episode highlights the importance of listening to the needs and concerns of those who may live in places that look vastly different from your own as we all strive towards a cleaner energy future.

What happens when India's biggest streaming platform decides it's no longer satisfied with just airing Koffee with Karan and cricket? And it now wants to take on YouTube and Instagram?You get Sparks–an ambitious experiment by Jiohotstar that's is set on winning over Gen Z viewers, one short video at a time.In February, right before the IPL kicked off, Jiohotstar launched Sparks. It is a free, creator-led platform of bite-sized episodes featuring the likes of Tanmay Bhat, Zakir Khan, Ranveer Brar, and Elvish Yadav. On paper, it might sound like just another experiment with content. But it is actually a marked product shift the platform is making after its merger with Disney's India business. And at the heart of this strategic move is a 25-member team that includes former top executives from YouTube and Instagram. But let's be real. This is like David trying to beat not one, but two Goliaths, that too on their home turf. Add to that the fact that this is a space where the rules are always shifting, creators are supremely loyal, and content never sleepsIn today's episode, host Snigdha Sharma is joined by The Ken reporter Rounak Kumar Gunjan who dug deeper to find an answer to one big question: can a streaming giant reinvent itself as a scroll-worthy destination?

Dear Humans, Karan Soni once played My assistant on Miracle Workers. Now instead of pretending with Steve Buscemi, he's talking to the real thing. We talked about his new film, A Nice Indian Boy, and what it means to navigate family, culture, and identity in a country that feels like it's falling apart. We also touched on tariffs, current events, and how anyone is supposed to stay joyful when everything around them is burning. It's funny. It's thoughtful. It might be the calmest thing I've published all week. Take a breath. Press play.

What makes it holy to get really stoned? This is an unavoidable question in India, where smoking cannabis is banned but done by dreadlocked devotees. Meanwhile, weed smoothies are frequently drunk at religious festivals.The writer Karan Madhok investigates this paradox – along with many others – in his new book Ananda, subtitled “An Exploration of Cannabis in India”. It also covers lots of other subjects, including cultural history, indigenous medicine, politicised religion, the pleasures of travel and the charms of Varanasi.As we discuss, references to cannabis date back to the Vedas, though the custom of smoking it is relatively recent. Like criminalisation, that came from outsiders – and ironically countries that promoted prohibition, such as the United States, have since been at the forefront of legalisation.Things are now changing in India with commercialised hemp and Ayurvedic remedies, but recreational use is illegal. Our conversation considers the benefits as well as the drawbacks of cannabis consumption, and asks if the bliss to which Ananda refers might be found more sustainably by other means.

In this episode of the Precision Medicine Podcast, host Karan Cushman engages in a thought-provoking discussion with two pioneers in AI-driven oncology: Dr. Douglas Flora and Dr. Sanjay Juneja. Together, they explore how AI is revolutionizing cancer care, from earlier detection and faster diagnoses to personalized treatments and clinical trial optimization.AI's potential in oncology is game-changing. Dr. Flora and Dr. Juneja break down how AI is helping to identify cancer at its earliest, most treatable stages, automate biomarker testing, and streamline clinical trials to match patients with the best therapies faster than ever before. AI is not just a futuristic concept—it is already helping oncologists reduce misdiagnoses, improve screening accuracy, and speed up treatment approvals, all of which could significantly improve patient outcomes.But if AI is so transformative, why isn't it more widely used? Adoption remains one of the biggest hurdles, with challenges ranging from regulatory barriers and insurance limitations to the slow integration of AI into clinical practice. Karan challenges her guests to explain what needs to change for AI-driven precision medicine to reach more patients—sooner rather than later.With her patient-first perspective, Karan ensures the conversation stays focused on what these advancements mean for real people.
