It’s the Friday edition of our twice-weekly newsmagazine show! This time, we look at Indian movies making history at the Cannes film festival, the OpenAI chatbot who sounds like Scarlett Johanson, a stunning arts hub in Rajasthan, and loads of useful recommendations of what to watch this weekend, and what to wear to the beach: 100% no paisa or influencer involved reccos.
Founder and Editor Lakshmi Chaudhry brings you the best headlines of the week, jargon-free, and with a generous dollop of fun. Tune in on Tuesday for more!
