UPSC Current Affairs

Poonam's UPSC Current Affairs podcast is a no-nonsense daily prelims revision tool that packs a lot of information into compact episodes. With 45 episodes and a perfect 5-star rating (from its sole reviewer, but still), the show focuses squarely on the kind of factual current affairs knowledge that the Prelims paper demands. The format is built for efficiency. Each episode delivers daily prelims notes covering topics like GSLV MK III launches, encephalitis syndromes, zoonotic diseases, DNA technology legislation, and economic concepts like bond yields and fiscal deficit calculations. Constitutional articles get individual attention too -- you will find episodes breaking down Article 292 and Article 248, plus the doctrine of harmonious construction, all explained with exam-day precision. Episode lengths swing dramatically, from quick 2-minute concept bites to 51-minute deep sessions. The shorter episodes work as flash cards for your ears. The longer ones are more like comprehensive revision sessions for entire topics. The daily update schedule means the content tracks closely with what newspapers were printing at the time. The show is most useful if you are in the thick of Prelims preparation and need audio reinforcement of facts you have already encountered in your reading. Poonam does not spend much time on analysis or opinion -- this is about locking in the factual knowledge that MCQ questions test. It is the kind of podcast you put on while doing chores, letting the repetition build your recall. Practical, direct, and exactly what Prelims season requires.
