Far From Fact
A weekly podcast from India, that is not about Science, Pop Culture, Technology, Sport, News, Sociology, or the Internet, and yet, all at once it is. Far From Fact is designed to cater to your basic need for ignorance. Catch the lads, as they fake-solve real problems on a weekly basis. This podcast is presented by Husein Merchant and Keshav Naidu. Husein is an optimist who loves observing things while being lazy. He is observing you even as you read this. Keshav recently came out as a comedian, and his family is still processing the embarrassment, but he is confident they will come around and accept him for the person he is. You can follow them on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/farfromfact/) and Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/farfromfact/) @farfromfact

A Mumbai hotel has come up with a hilariously clever way to put an end to slipper theft. Instead of providing a matching pair of bathroom slippers, the hotel gave people mismatched footwear, ensuring that while guests can use them during their stay, they’re far less tempting to take home.
Enjoy the episode!
Move over gen pop, the lads are going tech this edition. It's gonna be fleek, and other such things they don't say in real life. Heavy on the science, but also humanity, because human is also nature, and nature is also science. Enjoy!
