About?

You thought it was Indian? That’s the thing — it might not be! That’s The Thing is a breezy, curiosity-powered podcast from Radio Azim Premji University that takes a closer look at everyday things we proudly call desi. But are they really? Hosts Jimmy Xavier, Kavya Srinivasan, and Atharva Karandikar dive into surprising backstories, spicy trivia, and oddball records behind familiar Indian objects and ideas. Expect playful banter, sharp insights, and the occasional song as the trio plays historical detective, sifting through origin stories and modern myths. It’s history without the homework — a bi-weekly dose of wonder for the endlessly curious. Whether you’re a trivia geek or just nosy about your kitchen shelf, That’s The Thing promises to challenge what you think you know about what’s “Indian.” Produced for Radio Azim Premji University
