Pretending To Be Someone Else In An Uber, With Rohan Nadkarni | Defector
Late in this week's episode of The Distraction, Drew, returning champion guest Rohan Nadkarni, and I discussed local politics, disappointing trends in sushi roll naming, and the Miami Dolphins. I then explained "gooning" to Drew, prompted by a Funbag question and supported by a detailed new Harper’s story on the topic.
I had assumed we’d never cover such subjects over the entire lifespan of this podcast, even if it lasted decades. Rohan is a fantastic guest—one reason we keep inviting him on Defector-related podcasts—but he speaks freely about whatever interests him. His episodes don’t follow a set path but instead wander in a non-linear style for about an hour.
His conversations reliably include Miami-area sports and virtually any other topic that comes to mind. This episode started with politics, which I take responsibility for.
“Rohan is a wonderful guest—it's why we keep having him on Defector-related podcasts—but the man is going to talk about what he wants to talk about, as it occurs to him.”
This episode exemplifies the spontaneous, wide-ranging style that defines shows with Rohan Nadkarni.
Author’s summary: Rohan Nadkarni’s episodes on The Distraction blend politics, sports, and random topics in a free-flowing, engaging conversation style.
