Learn With JJ

Learn With JJ from CNA Academy serves a unique niche -- it is one of the very few podcasts that covers both UPSC and TNPSC (Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission) preparation in a single feed. Across 71 episodes, the show blends audio book segments with topical discussions, and the result feels more like a patient tutor than a rushed lecture. The subject matter spans a wide arc. You will find episodes on the Anti-Defection Law and government schemes like E-Shram Portal and PM Poshan, sitting alongside deep dives into the Sangam Age, the Chola dynasty, and Jainism's history in Tamil Nadu. There are also episodes on Bharathiyar, Dr. Ambedkar, and urban planning reforms. The current affairs episodes cover things like the Mercer Global Pension Index, which shows the host is thinking about what actually appears in UPSC papers rather than just covering headlines. Episode lengths vary from 3 to 22 minutes, with the shorter ones typically covering a single scheme or concept and the longer ones tackling historical periods that need more context. The show was active from 2020 through 2023. For aspirants based in Tamil Nadu who are simultaneously preparing for state and central services, this dual focus is genuinely helpful. You do not have to juggle separate podcasts for TNPSC history and UPSC polity. The audio book format also means some episodes work well as a companion to your static subject reading -- put it on while reviewing notes and let the concepts reinforce each other.
