[@pod-Qasim]

Of the 337 episodes of TPE, I have watched at least 180 episodes completely. But this ep has left me confused; I don't know whether I liked it or not (despite anticipating it since the guest reveal) after the 1st half, I was pretty disappointed at Talat Hussain for prioritizing Army's collective wisdom over the masses. His acquiescence with Asim Munir winding 'Project Imran' is uncomforting primarily because: a) Isn't it selective amnesia to believe Army's role in politics started from 2010 onwards. What about Nawaz; he too was birthed in the nursery of establishment. why not wind 'Project Nawaz'? Just because it happened pre 2000s? b) Acquiescing this winding project legitimizes establishment's role in politics. I do agree 9th may was a disaster and project 'Imran' is, indeed, a wrong project which has only destabilized Pakistan but wouldn't it be better to leave it here and let time run its course (assuming establishment has acknowledged it misadventure) I stand with what I wrote above yet I like Talat Hussain sb, even more so now, for his honesty and clarity in what he believes. We can agree to disagree on this one. In the process of writing this comment, I am no longer confused. I loved the podcast and I can say that the last 100min of my life were an investment and not a waste. His insight into ToshaKhana and educated guesses were a treat. I learnt a lot and thanks Shahzad for the tough questions and more so for maintaining the smile and humble tone despite the zealous tone by Talat sb PS: I never knew a proper journalist has to be so skilled and meticulous. Massive respect for Talat sb for not accepting a single trip in his 34 year career. PPS: I regularly watch Talat sb's channel and my scrutiny of him comes out of a place of respect. If you (Talat sb) read this comment, consider this the honest reporting a journalist ought to do of establishment, which they may not like at the moment, but respect in the long term (for the honesty and principled stance)

[@ThePakistanExperience]

Thank you ❤️❤️❤️ Don’t have to agree with everything the guest says, important to get his POV, I disagree with the army’s role in politics too but I feel I now better understand Talat’s take on what is happening, must say he was good here.

Been following him since middle school from his columns in news paper to STH, always have admired his precise analysis of complicated political situation. Over the years he has not only been a critic of PTI but also of PPP and PMLN in their respective government tenures, not going down the route of "tanqeed baraye tanqeed".

Did I understand everything in one day, NO, it has been a gradual journey. Have I been reading STH analytic articles since middle school, YES. Did I understand his Criticism , YES. I would have given you reference of 12, 14 and 15 years old achievements in politics in PK but I don't know whether you are from PK or how well versed you are in history (specifically PK).

Talat Hussain… I used to be a big fan and have to say some of the fandom has resurfaced after watching this.. but.. having said that; I know it’s hard to remain impartial but I wish he can get out of Bughz-e-Imran.. prime example is his denial that he didn’t realise ‘Pinki Peerni’ is derogatory.. you are a gem of an Anchor; but please balance Bughz-e-Imran so much that you want to stop criticising the ones you know are not sincere with Pakistani interest

[@TarikMohiuddin-ec5vj]

Ah, I know him well and his stature too. In Karachi he once came to address the students in 2005. Once asked why he and his channel AAj TV raise their voice against the violent politics of MQM in those days. He said look we are a business and our aim is to keep our business secure.We are not concerned with right or wrong or morality.thats not our issue and don't expect us to act otherwise. I am a personal witness to his outbursts then.

Absolutely unbiased and holding people to facts without being disrespectful. To me Talat Hussain's resentment and bias however warranted became clear in this episode and therefore makes him an unreliable voice.

Thank you, Kaunsi full tosses boss mai nay toh Bilawal ko bhi bouncers heee karayeen theen, if anything I am softer on Talat Hussain than I was to Absar Alam, even though I respect the work of both

[@AliZee909]

@@ThePakistanExperience Recent example when Bilawal was announcing his obviously unworkable social welfare programs under our current economy.I think you did push him on how he plans to fund it all but i personally think you let him off the hook with his unsatisfactory answer of cutting elite subsidies. Woh elite ka hissa hai, the one province he does run is run on a system of patronage. He can't cut elite subsidies overnight even if he wants to..... that in my eyes was at least an intentional misfield on your part. But then again, I'm biased against him. I don't discount the fact that I could be wrong and you pushed as much as you could.

[@ThePakistanExperience]

He says things I agree with, says he will do what I’ve been saying on this podcast needs to be done for years, what else should I have given pushback on? I asked him straight up after that specifically if he will cut subsidies to fauji fertilisers and he said yes - is say zyada direct hokar mai kya phooch sakta tha? I actually appreciate and respect that he said that honestly

[@AliZee909]

@@ThePakistanExperience You are right, you did a good job under the circumstances. I also realize you have a lot more leeway to do persistent questioning with someone Awami like Talat Hussain compared to the young prince. let's see if he lives up to his pledges when it is his turn to be offered to win the musical chairs. Keep up the good work. I may not like all your episodes but I will still watch them all and keep learning and supporting.

Talat sb came off soo bloody well in this. There's a reason pti trolls don't go after him much, it's because he's so good at countering their rhetoric with facts and logic.

[@HashirAbdi]

Respects To Talat Hussain ..... Brilliant Dude.

Talat Hussain Establishment k Taout hai or kuch nhi.Yeh abhi Bajwa ko gali de rha hai lekin jese hi asim munir ko gaali dega jb us k pass power nahi hogi jis ko abhi yeh angel keh rha hai..

[@fifaahmed-iv9or]

I dont know, if any any one did observed it,Talat is himself Imran Khan like personality, not exactly like him, but stubborn is like exploding from his personality. The way he makes fun of Shehzad and sort of take it serious when its his turn. On the other hand, Shehzad maintained his cool as usual. Nice work done, I think you should interview Najam Sethi as well.

[@dan27826]

nobody takes talat hussein seriously...even the event of last few days have not managed an ounce of honesty or integrity out of this guy.

[@aamirafzal3992]

ahhaahha absolutely yes ....why should we take him that seriously.
