Anjalivision is a twice monthly television review and interview podcast hosted by Anjali Misra, a Chicago-based freelance writer and community organizer, and general pop culture trivia savant. Each episode, she’ll offer her best analysis of current shows across multiple platforms and genres, and interview a guest “expert” on their favorite tv show or current obsession. Come for the intersectional feminist critiques of popular media, stay for the surprisingly deep conversations with folks from a variety of backgrounds, about what they love (or hate) to watch. Airing on the Trident Network!
