NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is all set to make his debut on podcast titled, ‘People By WTF,’ hosted by Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath.
Kamath announced the upcoming episode by sharing a trailer on X with the message, “People with The Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi | Ep 6 Trailer”.
The trailer showcases the podcast’s intention to delve into discussions bridging politics and entrepreneurship.
The two-minute preview features an informal discussion between Kamath and PM Modi, where Kamath openly admitted his nervousness, stating, “I am sitting here in front of you and talking, I feel nervous. It’s a tough conversation for me.”
PM Modi acknowledged his podcast debut, responding, “This is my first podcast, I don’t know how it’ll go with your audience.”
Their discussion covered various topics, including global conflicts, youth participation in politics, and PM Modi’s consecutive terms as Prime Minister.
During the conversation, PM Modi reflected on a previous speech from his tenure as Gujarat’s chief minister, stating, “I said something in an insensitive way. Mistakes happen. I am human, not a God.”
Kamath shared his personal perspective about the prevalent negative perception of politics in his background, asking, “Growing up in a South Indian middle-class home, we were always told that politics is a dirty game. This belief is so ingrained in our psyche that it is almost impossible to change it. What is your one advice for people who think the same?”
To this, PM Modi replied, “If you believed in what you said, we would not be having this conversation.”
The trailer concludes with an announcement of the upcoming episode, though without specifying a release date.
Although PM Modi regularly hosts ‘Mann Ki Baat’ and appears in television interviews, this marks his first venture into the podcast medium.
