About this listen

3 teenagers got tired of their folks turning on the TV at prime time only to hear a lot of noise that didn't make sense. Their collective exhaustion was felt by us and we decided to do something about it. So, fresh from the IVM and Ascend International School desk, is a news show, hosted by Kavya Hebbar, Trivik Hariharan & Anya Daftary. Tune in for some innocent but sensible, not debate, discussion.

We try to change the way news is presented and offer curious perspectives that might often go overlooked.
We want our cohort, and everyone else, to consume news in a non-toxic way.
We believe, discussions work better than debates, and the dignity of every stakeholder in the story must be preserved at all times.
