The Mahabharata with Arti Dhand

Love the show. The intro music is a little bit too loud compared to the narration. Please lower the sound it hurts my ears every time.

Unique retelling! Love it. The music is catchy too. Can’t help dancing to it. Why can’t I listen beyond ep62 ?

Arti takes a decidedly western eye towards the epic, and Indian culture in general, with attitudes informed by that of a western academic. Which can be annoying. But she’s never embarrassed or apologetic, is quite charming as an author and narrator, and does a good job of streamlining a highly complex tale—making it palatable and quite enjoyable to anyone who enjoys storytelling. This is a highly necessary endeavor and I will continue to listen!

Love listening to her modern take on this classic tale! With humor sprinkled throughout, this podcast is my daily favorite!
