Back in the day while we were roommates in Chennai and Bangalore, we would have many long debates and conversations on the country and the many forces making it what is today. Now, with a pond separating us with Uday in London, and me in Bangalore, we want to continue these conversations, over a podcast so we can have you join in with your views. We intend to come back with an episode as often as we can, the moment we find matters that require pontificating across the pond.

Episode 10 - US Oil's Descent into Anarchy and the Special Forces Debate Rages on
WTI's May Contract exchanged hands at -$37/bbl a day before expiry. Is this indicative of a wider supply glut or do US's unique inland dynamics make this a one-off? More importantly, can India expect to get free oil?
