It’s a bong explosion on this weeks episode of Maed in India. Our headliner is Awkward Bong, also known as Ronit Sarkar, and yes, he is Bengali. A song that Maed My Day is by a Kolkata indie rock band, Turfe, and starting off the show is a Bengali singer & composer called Tajdar Junaid. The only non-bong in the mix is a delightful acoustic session with Nikhil D’Souza. East side is ruling the podcast this week.

Whether it’s a shoegaze band from Chandigarh, thrash metal act from Visakhapatnam, rapper from Kashmir, vocal folk quartet from Kohima, Tamil indie pop act from Madurai, or a singer-songwriter from Mussoorie, Maed in India is where you’ll discover it.

Started in 2015, music nerd and ex-radio presenter Mae Mariyam Thomas showcases the best talent coming out of South Asia and its diaspora. 

The show is India’s first indie music podcast and prides itself on being the premier destination for new music, little known stories that give you a peek into the lives of independent musicians, as well as being an ongoing archive of unreleased music never heard before.
