If the NNN podcast can be likened to a house, then segments are the rooms that make up the very soul of this house (and the audio brandings are the doors?). Drawing inspiration from their own and the listeners' lives, Kanan and Manek regularly introduce new segments, which listeners can contribute to. Have you started listening to the latest episode and wondered if there were any segments introduced previously that you could contribute to? Have you listened to a segment but not really understood what it was about (this one is on you, they explain it so well, what more do you want)? Then this page is for you. Though you should listen to all the episodes, keeping in spirit with why this wiki was created, following is a handy guide to all NNN segments. To contribute to any segment, write in to hello@nonewnotifications.com.
(Segment Staus categories are quite subjective, hence fellow contributors are welcome to change or update segment status as per their wishes)

A Well Researched and Deep History of Manek D'Silva | Talking to a podcast business veteran, KG and MD realised that their podcast would never get any sponsors, if it was just one of two people talking in a room (or different rooms). To change this, Kanan took it upon himself to create a well researched segment about the man, the myth, the legend, Manek D'Silva.
