Marking six stellar additions to a growing portfolio of programs and podcasts, JioSaavn is excited to release its new podcast line-up. The original audio shows coming to JioSaavn in the first half of the year include “Raising Parents,” “She Warriors – New York City” and “Talking Brits in Bom Part 2.”

Podcasts, “Millennial Kavi” and “Film City” launched earlier in the year were well-received and popular music chat show, “Talking Music” continues for the third year. The suite of new programming covers a wide range of relatable topics, like parenting, storytelling & culture, lifestyle & health and film & TV. 

Talking about the same, Kirthi Shetty, AVP - Creative Production at JioSaavn said, “Podcasting might have been novel for India in 2016 -- when JioSaavn first forayed into the category -- but today it is a household staple for entertainment and information. As we continue to expand our catalogue beyond music, we aim to bring quality original programs to our users that are smart, culturally relevant and compelling. The length of these shows is very accessible -- less than 20 minutes -- and most of them are available in both Hindi and English, allowing for a wide variety of listeners across the country to tune in. We are confident that these shows will resonate with our growing audience of urban Indian millennials.”

  • Film City, hosted by Rahul Ahuja, a leading Bollywood journalist, Rahul Ahuja,  is a colourful mix of the latest Bollywood news, Q&As with artists and celebrities for new song and movie releases, as well as recommendations on new films and shows to watch. 

  • In Raising Parents,  Mansi Zaveri, the founder of leading parenting website and app Kids Stop Press, discusses the trials and tribulations of parenthood with experts, doctors, and celebrity parents.

  • Millennial Kavi is hosted by renowned spoken word artist and poet, Rakesh Tiwari for a short-format show that covers issues and challenges faced by the average Indian millennial: from Love, Dating, Jobs, Marriage, Kids, and so on.
