Deepak Disagrees
I chat with guests who have strong opinions on everything from philosophy and economics to technology and politics. I play devil's advocate, taking the contrarian stance. The goal is not to argue or win, but to dig deep and explore the foundations of their beliefs.
Please remember that the arguments I make are purely for the sake of exploration as part of the format. It is likely that I do not hold those beliefs personally.
I do my best to release one episode every month. If you have feedback or know someone who should be on the show, please write to me at deepakdisagrees@gmail.com.
You can listen to the podcast on Spotify or Apple Podcasts. You can follow us on X for the latest updates.
