3 Evergreen Spotify Originals You Must Listen

The podcast is the latest source of infotainment in India. It is the newest form of telling the story. (For those who don’t know) In this form of storytelling, the story is narrated and the listener tries to get connected with the narrator and imagining the story. In India, best presenters and narrators has started telling different stories on different platforms.

Spotify is one of the pioneers and hence one of the best platforms to listen to podcasts. In my life, Spotify has replaced music with podcasts. You imagine the activity which you do along with the music, I do that with the podcast. While driving, while working out and even while working, I listen to podcasts.

This new addiction has provided me information, knowledge and entertainment. This addiction has also allowed me to shortlist couple of podcasts (on Spotify) which are the best and evergreen.

22 Yarns

22 yarns is a podcast on the stories from the world of cricket and is hosted by Gaurav Kapur. I think I have said enough because if Gaurav Kapur is narrating the stories from the world of cricket then that podcast is going to be an all-time great podcast without a doubt.

Okay, if you insist, the format of the podcast is Gaurav Kapur invites a guest who is related to the world of cricket in every episode. And they talk about incidents on the field, different topics and players. It is produced by Gaurav Kapur’s home production oaktree sports. I have been watching, playing and following the game. Thus, I love the podcast. I feel this podcast will impress and entertain every cricket fan. And no matter whether you are a millennial or an oldie if you are a true cricket fan, you will love this podcast.

Special Mission

This podcast is an ATS (All Things Small) production. This podcast tells you the stories of real heroes. By real heroes, I mean the Indian armed forces. These stories are narrated by Gul Panag, supported by the speeches delivered on different stages and platforms. Stories in this podcast are so heart-wrenching that in some of them even Gul Panag was not able to hold her tears back. I experienced almost every emotion while listening to this podcast. I feel in the history of podcasts, this podcast will go down as one of the most inspiring and emotional podcast. Our hardships are part of their (people who are part of armed forces) lifestyle. Whenever I am down or feeling low, I listen to this podcast and pick myself up.

Mission ISRO

We all know how much effort was put by our freedom fighters to get independence but very few people know about the effort put in different fields after getting the independence. Indian Space Research Organisation is one such story of the effort (put in the field of space research). While listening to this podcast, I was like a kid who is curious and wants to know everything related to ISRO. And after listening to this podcast, I can imagine the pressure under which Homi Bhabha and Vikram Sarabhai worked to build this organisation. It is narrated by Harsha Bhogle and the way he has narrated the story, one will connect with his voice in a couple of minutes and will start imagining the sequences.

I am so fascinated with this newest form of story-telling that I may come up with my own podcast. Until I am done with planning my own podcast, I will keep listening to them and will find such interesting ones.
