Description

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 — from the auto rickshaw to snakes and ladders.

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 will make you rethink what you thought was truly Indian.
