Questions About This Episode

What is Episode 92: Indian Matchmaking about?

This is Episode 92 of the State of the Theory Podcast. Politics. Power. Popular Culture. And other stuff, probably. In this series, we’re like super nerdy philosophical DJs: mashing up Serious Academic Questions with the most topical news and trends in pop culture. Each week, we’ll tackle a new topic and collide it with ‘critical theory’ (we’re pretty loose with our definitions, though, so expect the unexpected). Our aim is to destroy the stuff we know, explore the stuff we don’t and unsettle everything we think we know about the world. We take the obvious, the commonsensical, the certain, and then we rip it all to shreds. We are your theory doctors and we are always on call. This week we talk about the strangely successful new Netflix show “Indian Matchmaking”, and discuss the appeal of dating-based reality TV shows. What do they promise, how do they deliver and what is it about them that seem so widely popular? The Susan Sontag essay Notes on “Camp” can be found here: State of the Theory is brought to you by Hannah Fitzpatrick (@drhfitz) and Anindya Raychaudhuri (@DrAnindyaR) Find us on Facebook ( or Tweet us @TheoryDoctors
