Life and Learning Podcast
A multi-lingual podcast from India's Bodoland region, featuring interviews with local leaders on politics, culture, and entrepreneurship.
An interview-led podcast, primarily in the Bodo language, that acts as a community forum for the Bodoland region of Northeast India. Host Mainaoshri Boro sits down with local politicians, activists, entrepreneurs, and cultural experts to discuss pressing regional issues, from political controversies and economic development to preserving Bodo traditions. While most episodes are interviews, the show also produces occasional solo-hosted episodes on social awareness topics like child safety.
“Its hyper-local focus on the Bodoland region and its primary use of the Bodo language make it a vital platform for community-specific discourse, standing in contrast to pan-Indian or English-language media. The host leverages her local credibility to secure in-depth interviews with key regional figures.”
