In Episode 6 of the EWBR podcast, Anisha and Dhruv discuss books that were successfully adapted for cinema and television, including Sally Rooney’s Normal People and Chuck Palahniuk's Fight Club. Then there's Alfonso Cuarón's version of the enduring Dickens classic, Great Expectations and Vishal Bhardwaj’s epic Hindi Shakespearean trilogy. Also, accidental Veganism, dry January and miscellaneous food trends (activated charcoal muffins, anyone?!)
