Keralam Samsarikkunnu is a weekly talk show on current affairs, featuring a group of guests, an assemblage  of audience and a well known host,  in which  the guest panel and the invited audience take part in the discussion on an equal footing, under the moderating influence of the anchor.

The  theme helps provide a pointer to the list of  guest invitees of the show, who have to be thoroughly familiar with the subject and its ramifications, must have the debating skills needed to present their point clearly and  should be able to contribute meaningfully to the dialogue.

The show is anchored by a host whose enviable experience in television journalism and radio jockeying  makes him the ideal choice to play the role of mediator . Popular amongst Gulf radio listeners as ‘KK’,  this  Hit FM Radio Jockey  was formerly one of the best Current Affairs news producers & live anchors  of a prominent TV Channel. Krishna Kumar’s political acumen, quick wits and diplomatic skills, guarantee that  the show  will be kept on a lively track without allowing it to get out of hand.

The anchor opens the discussion with a short introduction to the topic of the day, poses a few pertinent queries to which the guests respond, after which the issue is put up for public debate. It is the turn of the audience to quiz them or raise doubts. The experts do their best to allay their fears and answer  questions. Occasionally, the anchor chips in to re-frame incoherent questions of the audience  and in general to lead the grilling assault against the guests. As the atmosphere warms up and tempers get frayed , the anchor keeps things in check drawing in more and more members from the audience into the fray, until the entire guest panel and all the viewers are involved in the debate, so that Keralam Samsarikkunnu literally becomes a microcosm of the entire Kerala society.

What makes the show stand out is that the audience - instead of being a faceless mass who are silent observers of the deliberation - become an indispensable part of the show participating & contributing to the war of words. In contrast to other talk shows where the viewers are herded into  a corner, here the audience and guests are seated together on the studio floor.

Keralam Samsarikkunnu  gives an opportunity  for the common man to raise issues  directly to the concerned authorities, who in turn get to know the attitude of the general public at first hand. By helping them to vocalize their opinions, resentment  and doubts, it becomes a venue where the Vox Populi  can be heard loud  and clear.
