“We don't understand people we disagree with, and being challenged by the news is something people find refreshing. I figured I couldn't be the only person out there who wanted that — and it turns out I'm not.” So it's a new year, and it's going to be an interesting one, so what better way to start 2024 by an introduction to a different perspective? P&G Alumni Co-host Rajiv Satyal - beyond being a world-class entertainer and comedian - also hosts the TanGent show, featuring conversations from fields of entertainment, politics, business, religion, and tech. Rajiv recently sat down with journalist Isaac Saul, whose newsletter and podcast TANGLE NEWS (ReadTangle.com) is an increasingly relevant source of independent, non-partisan source summarizing the best arguments from across the political spectrum on the news of the day. Rajiv and Isaac covered a lot of topics including the political makeup of Tangle's audience, and how our news sources really dictate our outlook and discourse. It's a down the middle approach that might give you some pause. So wherever you're coming from, we hope you'll enjoy this candid conversation about how and where we get our news for a very important year to come...

“People are interconnected in India, there's an interdependence that doesn't exist here — a connectedness, togetherness.” To continue our chat on India ahead of Raman's return trip, we connected with his other “Learning from Leaders” podcast co-hosts Sharad Lal and Rajiv Satyal. Sharad is speaker and coach based in Singapore who Raman worked with in Asia a lifetime ago, and Rajiv is a longtime FrieMMd of the pod - and a stand-up comic and entertainer in Los Angeles. In recent years both have done a ton of work on the subcontinent, so had a unique professional and perspective we couldn't miss. India's gone through more change in recent decades than the west has in a century. India isn't just a modern superpower - it's becoming a geopolitical swing vote - and of course there's all the cultural wonder and awe folks have romanticized over the years, but now also with all the social and political growing pains one would expect from such a...colorful country. By chatting with some old friends, we hope to get a better feel for what to expect... Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

“People are interconnected in India, there's an interdependence that doesn't exist here — a connectedness, a togetherness.” To continue our series on travel - we're going to (talk about) India, with co-hosts Sharad Lal and Rajiv Satyal, who also happen to be of Indian origin. At the turn of the century, many said India had gone through more change in 20 years than the West had gone through in a century. And now we're another 20 years later. India is an emergent superpower on the world stage - some would argue a swing vote on the geopolitical map — with all the same sort of wonder people have romanticized over decades, but now also with all the social and political growing pains one would expect from such a...colorful country.

Comedian Rajiv Satyal — a University of Cincinnati engineering graduate and former Procter & Gamble marketer who left corporate life for standup — is back home for two performances at Go Bananas Comedy Club in Montgomery.

“There need to be silences - you need to give people room to run. Let people talk more. I already know what I know now. I wanna know what you know.” Recently P&G Alumni Co-host Rajiv Satyal sat down with Crossroads pastor and podcast host Bryan Tome on his show “The Aggressive Life.” What started as an exploration of Rajiv's comedy career and approach turned into an open and honest conversation among two very different perspectives on politics, faith, and culture. With the Fourth of July right around the corner for Americans, we celebrate our independence and freedom, but also take an honest reflection on who we are - and want to be - as a nation, and as a people. With today's level of division and discord , the importance of talking - and listening to others who might not look and think like us. There is a better way from simply passively standing by and retreating to our echo chambers. It's about seeking to understand, which was one of the values many of us were taught during our time at P&G. We hope you'll enjoy this candid conversation about comedy - and curiosity. 

The first person to do stand-up comedy on all 7 continents, Rajiv Satyal is known for his TV-clean humor and wit. But while he's traveled the world telling jokes, it's his deep curiosity that drives him. He purposely puts himself around people who don't think, live, or believe like he does—and he has the wisdom to prove it. He's an aggressive man looking to elevate your life (and make you laugh in the process). 

“If you don't have a room of people that can reflect your ideas, then you don't know how they'll play out in the real world — you need a sounding board.” Misha Euceph is a Pakistani-American writer, podcast host, and producer - Misha also happens to be Founder & CEO of Dustlight Productions, the critically acclaimed podcast studio that has created podcasts with Spotify, Bruce Springsteen, Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Rolling Stone, REI, Subaru and many more. She's also the creator and host of the podcast "Tell Them, I Am" - a series about the small defining moments in our lives— where the voices are all Muslim, but the stories are universal. The NY Times, LA Times, TIME, The Atlantic, Esquire, Cosmopolitan, and Huffington Post, have named it among their best podcasts. Misha is also frequently featured in The Wall Street Journal, IGTV, and McSweeney's. Misha and Dustlight want to make mission-driven podcasts for and with awesome people — but they also train those who want to push the boundaries of audio and tell beautiful stories. Misha got her Master's in Journalism at Northwestern University, has taught as an adjunct professor at USC Annenberg and the Transom Radio Workshop. Misha started work in podcasting in 2017, at the dawn of the podcasting era in 2017, and has quickly become an important voice for today's times, speaking on storytelling, identity, and ethical entrepreneurship. In a word, Misha is podcast. This insightful and entertaining conversation on identity and belonging comes from P&G Alumni Co-host Rajiv Satyal's talk show "What Do You Bring To The Table" — where Rajiv spotlights prominent South Asian voices. Rajiv has spoken with Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, Comedian Hasan Minhaj, author Deepak Chopra, influencer Lilly Singh, journalist Manu Raju, TV personality Tan France, Dr. Sanjay Gupta and many more. You can SEE lots more of Rajiv's video conversations at WatchRajiv.com.

“Our original WHY for all of this was so folks could get a better sense of what someone else's experience is like.” “...but we're NOT an Asian podcast - this is an American podcast.” After TWO HUNDRED episodes, Sharon & Raman reflect on where we've been (with you), and where we're going. We grapple with the heavier questions of why do we even DO this podcast, and why should we keep it going (and if so, how)?

“Faith should bring us together and not drive us apart. And we will all have differences in what we believe, but it should never be the thing in the workplace that drives us apart.” Kirk Perry is CEO of IRI Worldwide - and among our first / favorite guests (his threepeat!), returning for another learnings “deep dive” - where we go deeper on a topic folks are passionate about.

Kirk has also coached youth sports for more than 20 years. He and his wife, Jacki, have been married for more than 30 years and have four beautiful children. In this ranging conversation between Kirk and co-host Rajiv Satyal, you'll appreciate the value of how two people from different faiths and backgrounds can find common ground in their similarities and differences.

“It's like headlights. A vaccine is saying ‘I'm doing it for you — I'm putting my headlights on so you can see me — so you don't get it from me.' We have to think of others.” Longtime FrieMMd of the Pod and internationally (in)famous comedian Rajiv Satyal joins us for another conversation about the importance of getting your latest COVID latest vaccine - sponsored by the US department of Health & Human Services.

It has been a long couple of weeks...months, years? There has a lot of...stuff going on 'out there', and we're not going to lie - it's been hard to wrap our heads - and hearts - around everything. So to find a moment to catch a breath, stop being angry, stop crying when we think too much about the terrible things happening in this world (e.g. why our children have to practice active shooter drills)? it's often nearly impossible to find the space to process...and think about these things, which is probably why Sharon + Raman haven't gotten to it (yet) ...and then Raman got an email from longtime FrieMMd of the Pod (and comedian) Rajiv Satyal. This is the conversation that followed...
