In this episode, we interview Siddharth Singh, author of 'The Great Smog of India' (link below), a book on India's ongoing air pollution and environmental crisis. Apart from shedding light on the flaws of our so-called 'vikas', i.e. the developmental model, Sid tells us the real reason why you should care about the environment and air pollution - you will get diabetes, your kid will score lower in math and your sea-front property will be worth a lot less in the coming years.
This episode is dedicated to Lil B - hope you are in a place with lots of water, sunshine and happiness
