Behind the Byline
Stories Behind the Stories That Shaped Our World
Welcome to Behind the Byline, a podcast that pulls back the curtain on the most defining moments, narrated by the people who lived them—not as spectators, but as storytellers. This is a podcast by journalists, for journalists, and for everyone fascinated by the power of a story to change the course of nations.
Over the next episodes, we’ll take you on a journey through the last 75 years of Indian politics and global geopolitics, unraveling the secrets, anecdotes, and untold stories that have stayed hidden in the margins of history. From conversations with those who’ve interviewed the most powerful leaders to tales of shadowy intelligence operations, high-profile scandals, and the rise and fall of infamous criminals and politicians—this is your front-row seat to history as told by those who were on the scene.
What was it like to sit across from a prime minister at the brink of war? To break a story that sent shockwaves through the corridors of power? To navigate the dangerous intersection of journalism and espionage? We’ve invited the voices behind the headlines to share it all—unfiltered, unforgettable, and unlike anything you’ve ever heard before.
So, grab your headphones and get ready to step behind the byline, where the stories behind the stories come to life. This is journalism as it’s never been told before.
