Episode 04: The Ethical Dilemma - Part II

Social Media. We all use it, heck for most of us, our lives revolve around it! But what really goes on behind those screens? Either knowingly or unknowingly we're giving out heaps of personal data and putting us at the mercy of these platforms while also helping them generate revenue by succumbing to their 'Recommendation Algorithms'. The Design and Ethicality of these Algorithms along with the impact that these platforms have on society at large, on mental health, and even how it affects the relationship between two people, are just a few aspects of what we explore in this two-part episode with Kabir Madan(@kabeardmadan) and Anant Bhasin(@bhasinanant)

Episode 00: The Debut

The AG podcast was created to help people look beyond the prospects of a mind-numbing 9-5 lifestyle, where decades are spent climbing the corporate ladder, completely destroying all creativity and imagination along the way, and to replace it with something more rewarding according to their own interests. A lot of people want to follow their passion but have a lot of questions of the actual feasibility, logistics, etc, this podcast helps bridge exactly that gap. This podcast will help in connecting people who know little about a lot of avenues (like you and me) with people who are experts and have created a niche for themselves in the fields that they excel in, be it Martial Arts, Music Production, Game Design, Artists, Sportsmen, the list keeps going on. After all, you would rather die of passion than boredom, wouldn’t you? In this episode, our host Adil Gazder talks about his journey and what led him to start 'The AG Podcast' along with his vision for this platform is.
