Things to Learn from The Weekly with ChoubeyJi

When the 2nd wave of Covid hit India, we all were restricted to our homes with just electronic devices in our hands. That was the time when everything was shut down once again just in a span of a year. 

With fear and negativity all over, all of us were looking to distract ourselves. We would go to different platforms to watch things that would either entertain us or provide us with some vital information. That’s when Anupam Anand came up with the idea of creating an infotainment show that will not only entertain people but also provide them information on various less spoken topics in society. 

Being a professional celebrity anchor, he knew how to keep the audience involved in the video and that’s how the journey of a show, The Weekly with ChoubeyJi started under the homegrown banner of Lockdown Productions. The show talks about a wide range of satirical comedy covering all topics ranging from current affairs as well as common observations made by all and also talking reality. 

Although you can watch all the episodes on the YouTube Channel named Anchor Anupam Anand and Instagram of @anupam_aanand, we thought of giving you a sneak peek into the format of the show and a summary of all the episodes which you can take away with you.

Season 1 Episode 2: Men can be sexually harassed!?

Male harassment is a thing for which there’s no law in the biggest constitution of the world, let alone the discussion or awareness.

When you meet someone, the first thing you observe is the way that person is dressed. If that person is well dressed then it will definitely leave a positive impact on you.

Season 1 Episode 9: Impact of Bans!

A lot of bans have been going over our country in the last few years or let me say, from decades. But are those things really banned from being sold in our country or is it just a sham to make those things more expensive. There is a huge black market of things like drugs, alcohol, etc which could make a huge positive impact on the economy of a country if it is legal. The episode brings in deeper insights into bans of different kinds.

Season 1 Episode 10: Digital Terrorism/Politics

A raging topic to end the season with. The one that got held by YouTube because of its sensitivity. But then the audience got along with it and loved the way Anupam brought insights into the other side of politics and terrorism that is not very looked upon and secret. This episode of The Weekly with ChoubeyJi dives into the psychology of hatred and how it manipulates the public through digital platforms.
