But the reason we chose English is that our audience spreads pan India and international, and even in India, Hindi is not the ubiquitous language; many of our listeners and people in Indian basketball are more comfortable with Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Punjabi, etc. English becomes a level ground that satisfies most listeners. <br />In Satnam's case, we actually encouraged him to speak any words/phrases that he felt comfortable with, but he is very proud of his improved English speaking/comprehension and insisted on it.

After all, Hoopdarshan is an Indian podcast. It'll make the whole podcast sound smoother and Satnam would feel a lot more comfortable i guess. Not to mention the fact that he would be able to converse more and pass on more information. Please please think about this for future episodes. Great job though! Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
