Today

I just came across this podcast today, and I am going to go through all of them from the 1st one.
I heard the last one, and I think this podcast is truly worth it for all young Indians.
And also for Kalki Koechlin… Her voice and thoughts are so inspiring, liberating.

Good content but Speaks too fast

It’s as if Kalki is running against time. Need to slow down. Need to give ppl time to digest the content.

For all the episodes till now

Kalki , you rock. You bring such grace to difficult topics which are often ridiculed at dinner tables of many a households. This podcast truly is groundbreaking ( on the lines of your AIB: it’s your mistake).
Congratulations for your work and I wish you continued success.

Do consider extending the series

I’ve been enjoying the series so far. As a regular follower of BBC World Service, I’ve had the pleasure of listening to all the episodes as soon as they were out. Episode 5, Rocket Woman has been my favourite so far. Kudos to Kalki!
I recently came to know this is only a 10-part series. While there maybe 4 more episodes, I believe the series can be carried on for a lot longer and I do hope the producers and the team consider the interest and feedback and decide to extend the series.

A proud Indian - you and I!

This podcast gives me jitters! I have heard so many podcasts but listening to a podcast relevant to Indians, it’s just a great and proud feeling! And Kalki, your voice is key..quite literally! So proud! And oh, the background music by Aditya N. is woohoo!

Nice

Kalki is fantastic. Her tone and speech is so soothing.
The way in which she teaches how to pronounce her name was amusing and shall never mispronounce it ever now.
As far as the episodes, I ain’t a podcast person but look forward to her pasts every weekend. The subjects chosen are very intriguing and the way it is narrated, you just tend to go with it. Till now all very inspiring people on the pod

Really unique podcast

I have been listening to this podcast since day 1 and what attracted me to it was its premise. I eagerly look forward to the next episode every week. So thank you and keep up the great work!
I have one request - would it be possible to let the person telling the story speak more, not rush him/her to finish the thought, it feels like words being put in the narrator’s mouth to complete the sentences. Let there be pauses, silences, let us listeners too get time to be one with the narrator’s tough situations.

A true tale

Kalki strikes again. Kalki manages to weave a beautiful story about a young India that finds its identity amongst the varied layers of Indian culture, society and life. This emerging identity that is young India, finds itself bonded by the shackles of the very culture that shapes an Indian identity, unique to every individual. This presents an irony that has become synonymous with a young India. Kalki touches the core of this hard reality with great ease, and proceeds to make real assertions in favour of the interests of this growing group of unique individuals. Overall, a brilliant podcast!

Should be Intelligent conversations

On my way to work I often listen to my husband’s podcast (called Morcast) on a repeat (biased :))And few others like that of Bill Burr. I was waiting for something intelligent & promising. Yours sounds like one So mor Happy listening for me:)

Deep.

These stories and many more(to come) are important and need to be told. I’m really thankful for these podcasts. Never would come to know about such talented, fierce individuals otherwise, at least for me. I’m proud of y’all as a fellow countrywoman. And Kalki, always a huge fan :).

Aditya N episode

Loved the episode and Kalki and Aditya in easy & good conversation. The bits of his jams as interlude were superb. Recently at my work place had to reject a good profile due to his stammering problem. Still feeling sad could not do much to offer him the job. He deserved the job, man!

Very beautiful narrative and important stories but in ishan”s case also make a retro story about why his parents couldn’t understand why he is as such.

Unacknowledged stark truths of our society

A very well composed podcast series. It touches on topics that we as Indians still consider taboo. The ease with which Kalki is able to bring out these stark truths is incredible. Truths that we know exist but still chose not to acknowledge. A must listen!

Excellent initiative

This is one of the best podcasts I’ve heard. Kalki has done a wonderful job and it reflects her unique personality. This podcast brings up those topics to life which are often dead on social platform. And I appreciate this initiative by BBC World Service. The background music is outstanding. It is perfect for a young Indian!

Deep, authentic and moving!

As someone who runs a Podcast (The Passion People Podcast) and relates to stories of people from around the country, I can really appreciate what Kalki brings to the table with the conversations that he has in the show. Needless to say, I'm a huge fan already.
Difficult and deep conversations have an uncanny ability to move us in ways that we do not fully seem to fathom. This combination of Kalki's energy and wit, the BBC and the growing medium of podcasting make for a killer combination to make a few things happen.
a. Make Podcasts in India more mainstream (Yaay!)
b. Help broaden people's horizons
c. Spread the word about people doing amazing things.
Lots of love, please continue the great work.
Cheers!
NagaS!
