Customer Reviews
Awesome podcast
Laugh out loud funny and entirely enjoyable!
Listener in India
Not being religious, this is a delightful podcast with the right amount of seriousness and humour to make each 20 minute episode most enjoyable. Congratulations to the presenter. Her depth of understanding and appreciation of the text is amazing.
One of the best story tellers!
As an Indian, I had been exposed to the Mahabharata from very early age. The story of eternal conflict in the family is well known to us but one of the charms of this story is that each time the story reveals new aspects to the listener.
the podcast is exceptionally good and is made more contemporaneous by the mastery of the presenter and her cheeky sense of humour.
