The first season of Bollywood Drafts has concluded! 9 episodes, 100+ movies played (including vetoed movies), and 20 guests, it's been quite the ride! Thanks to the listeners and the guests for being there as I developed the podcast.

On this bonus episode, I'll be introducing "Rahul Raichand's Dharamshala" aka another way for me to make and update a google sheets spreadsheet.

Then I'll recap season 1, talk about the lists, and what surprised me and the listeners.

Finally, I'll reveal the categories for season 2 and make some wild #1 predictions.

Thanks again, and hope you'll join us for season 2!
