PM Modi's First Podcast with Nikhil Kamath (X/ @nikhilkamathcio)

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is poised to make his podcast debut on the show titled 'People By WTF,' hosted by Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath. Kamath took to X to announce the upcoming episode, sharing a trailer that reads, "People with The Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi | Ep 6 Trailer."

A New Medium for Dialogue

The trailer hints at an engaging exploration of topics that merge politics with entrepreneurship. The two-minute preview features an informal exchange between Kamath and PM Modi, where Kamath expresses his apprehension about the conversation, stating, "I am sitting here in front of you and talking, I feel nervous. It's a tough conversation for me." In response, PM Modi acknowledges his own inexperience with podcasts, saying, "This is my first podcast, I don't know how it'll go with your audience."

Key Topics of Discussion

Their dialogue encompasses a variety of significant subjects, including global conflicts, the role of youth in politics, and PM Modi's experiences during his consecutive terms as Prime Minister. Reflecting on a past speech from his time as Gujarat's chief minister, PM Modi candidly remarks, "I said something in an insensitive way. Mistakes happen. I am human, not a God."

Kamath shares insights from his upbringing in a South Indian middle-class family, where he was taught that politics is a "dirty game." He asks PM Modi for advice on changing this entrenched belief: "What is your one advice for people who think the same?" The Prime Minister responds thoughtfully, "If you believed in what you said, we would not be having this conversation."

Anticipation Builds

The trailer concludes with an announcement of the episode's release date yet to be confirmed. While PM Modi frequently engages with the public through 'Mann Ki Baat' and television interviews, this podcast marks his first foray into the audio medium.
