Keeping this funda in mind a lot of podcasters are creating content in Hindi. These podcasts are gaining popularity and one of clear indications of the same is that some of these gems are listed in Apple Podcasts – Top Shows lists or Spotify’s Top Shows or Trending Shows lists. Now with the emergence of Audible Suno and Jio Saavn and Gaana gauging the power of podcasting and giving it its due diligence, suddenly Hindi podcasts have become popular. With Anchor being a free recording and hosting software, Spotify witnessed 1,100 % year-on-year growth in Hindi podcast on Anchor.
Even the quality of the podcast content being created in Hindi is at par with international podcasts. Here are 5 best Hindi Podcasts which I absolutely love and binge listen too:
- The Ranveer Show in Hindi
Raveer Allahbadia aka Beer Biceps is a popular name on digital platforms. He has been a motivational speaker and a social media influencer since long. In his podcast series he invites guests from different walks of life and interviews them, he digs deep into their minds to extract their formula of success, their life learnings and their struggles to inspire his listeners to desire more from life. He has interviewed authors, actors, entrepreneurs and creatives like Dr. Radhakrishnan Pillai, Amish Tripathi, Yashraj Mukhate, Yash Talreja and many more.
Why do I listen to this podcast?
Ranveer makes his guests so comfortable on his show that these chats seem candid and informational at the same time. This combination is rare and he has cracked the code. Apart from that the guests list is so varied and because of that each guest adds value to the listeners in his/her own way.
2) Kya Swaad Hai
Kya Swaad Hai is relatively a new podcast brought to you by WYN Studio. This podcast focuses on food stories. In every episode the hosts, popular food blogger Mister Tikku and Quiz Master Kunal Mandal share some interesting stories related to popular dishes of India. They talk about the history of the dish, while sharing some interesting anecdotes from their life.
Why do I listen to this podcast?
Co-hosted podcasts have always been my favourite. The reason is simple I just love the banter and crackling chemistry between the two hosts. Kya Swaad Hai provides just the same, in the right amount. Along with the conversation, I get to hear some engaging stories related to Samosas, Gol Gappe and many more mouth-watering food items, what more a foodie like me can ask for? Their stories actually make you crave for those savouries while listening. Being a podcast producer myself, I think they are using the imaginative power of podcasting to the fullest.
3) Srimad Bhagavad- Gita Adhyaya 1
This podcast is presented by awaaz.com. This podcast is a beautiful blend of our holy scripture Bhagavad Gita’s learnings and how we can apply these learnings in our day to day life. The host has tried to make the shlokas of the scriptures as easy to understand as possible.
Why do I listen to this podcast?
I love this podcast for its simplicity. It not only helps you understand Indian mythology but also the way it has been intertwined with today’s world is commendable. It is definitely a must listen.
4) Akbar Birbal Stories – Hindi Moral Tales
This Chimes Radio’s original podcast is based on popular Akbar Birbal stories. These stories have definitely been a part of our childhood as time to time these stories have been passed on from one generation to another. Every story is unique in itself despite the fact that in every story the great emperor Akbar puts Birbal in tricky situations and Birbal uses his wit and intelligence to get out of them.
Why do I listen to this podcast?
This podcast is a sure-short dose of Nostalgia. This definitely reminds me of my childhood and my granny, who had so many Akbar Birbal stories in her treasury. This podcast makes you smile, reminiscing the past and also makes you learn how to deal with tricky situations in life.
5) The Big Fat Indian Ghotala
The Big Fat Indian Ghotala is a Spotify Original Podcast. This podcast talks about the ghotalas or scams which have occurred across the country. This podcast brings out the scale and the seriousness of these crimes but satirically.
Why do I listen to this podcast?
Like each one of you, even I have read so many ghotala news and always wondered how could scamsters pull this off right under our nose without being noticed. This podcast is an answer to these questions. What I love the most is the way this podcast is being presented. Despite these scams being disturbing and frustrating the host’s comical timing and delivery style makes this podcast listening experience light and informational at the same time. This podcast reminded me of my good old days of radio.
I am sure you will love listening to these Hindi podcasts as much as I do. If you are passionate about podcasts like me and would love talk about them and podcasting then please do not hesitate and just get in touch.
