This podcast episode covers a range of topics including the introduction of prize money in track and field at the Olympics, the challenges and progress of India's manufacturing ambitions, and the controversy surrounding Subway's new foot-long cookie. The introduction of prize money reflects the commercialization of the Olympics and may put pressure on other sports to offer prizes. India faces challenges in competing with China in manufacturing due to factors such as infrastructure and literacy. Subway's foot-long cookie, although not actually a foot long, has generated buzz and free promotion for the company, but has also faced criticism for its size and potential price variations.
