From education to entertainment and social justice issues to social media trends, TDS approached each episode with compassion, advocacy, and information, bolstered by subject-area experts and unfiltered celebrity moments. Hosted by Annika Sharma and Nehal Tenany, TDS ignited conversation, illuminated learning, and sparked a community to own their stories, rise up with confidence, and blaze a path forward. The podcast was been featured in the Times of India, at BBC’s CDX, and on Forbes. They have also been featured speakers at multiple conferences, ViacomCBS, and universities.
