Hi there,

Another link-heavy, essay-free edition from me - I'm having the most hectic September with a couple of things to show for it, so do keep scrolling to see what I'm doing / have been doing.

Thanks for reading!

Links of the week

  • "Whatsapp is the medium for lovers’ quarrels, controlling mothers trying to discipline from afar, and more..."

  • "My lostness comes from the sense that our cultural collections are not wholly our own anymore."

  • "A writer's opinions are golden gears that help these machines, stories, to speed up when necessary."

  • A Chair reviews The Chair

  • Why doesn’t Britain make great comedy sketches any more?

What I've been up to

> I'm on a new podcast about comedy, with The Guardian's comedy critic Brian Logan, and writer / researcher Jamal Khadar, whose work on comedy can also be seen in The Guardian:

  • But Is It Funny? trailer

  • Episode 1

> I'm also on The Week Unwrapped this week: we talk pandas, wireless charging and how excluding women from clinical trials is the worst idea

> I didn't win a stand-up final last Friday, full story here

> Here's the 10-min set I did for the British Comedy Guide Pro final 2020/1

That’s all from me! Thank you for reading, I’ve been and continue to be Suchandrika Chakrabarti.

I plan to keep this newsletter free, but it does take time to write and curate. If you fancy buying me a Ko-fi I’d be eternally grateful, and will thank you in the next newsletter <3
