Today, I am chatting with Shankar and Vishnu from Writer and Geek Podcast. These two brothers got into podcasting to chat about everything that you'd like to Google but you simply won't because you are too lazy to do that. They chat about everything under the sun from smoking to aeroplanes. Shankar is a writer by profession and apparently talks less while Vishnu is a software engineer and he does most of the talking. :) I invited Shankar and Vishnu on Podcast Unfiltered to talk about how they pick a topic, how they research content and what does success means to them. It is entirely different for both of them which I found pretty fascinating.
