In this episode, Piyush and Isha deliberate on the current status of Indian media. Falling to and situating itself on the 142nd position on the Press Freedom Index this year, TRP-driven Indian media is now walking in the footsteps of Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi Propaganda Minister, by blatantly colouring issues with communalism, spreading lies and infusing propaganda. With the media coining damaging terminologies like the 'tukde-tukde gang' and anti-nationals and treating 'secularism' - a fundamental tenet of our Constitution - as an obscene term, the polarisation of Indian households appears complete. They observe how propaganda machinery functions at a psychological level. In the end, they note the steps to combat this collapse.

In their ninth episode, Isha and Piyush address an issue that holds the potential to wipe out humans from Earth — climate change. When some of the world's most influential leaders call climate change a "hoax", they reflect why so many people defy science and second this irrational thought!
Both bust the conservative approach of different entities that perceives the environment rejuvenation to come only at the cost of economies. Humans have long assumed themselves to be lounging at the top of the ecosystem pyramid, which, in reality, is a sphere where each organism works towards its sustenance.
They also express of what eco-anxiety is, and why global leaders like Greta Thunberg and Licypriya Kangujam are its likely outcomes.
With the easy lifestyle changes that they list in the end, Isha and Piyush claim only one thought: what we do or do not do today will dictate humanity's future.
