Sondesh. tv
A long-form Bengali podcast featuring deep, personal interviews with artists and thinkers from Bengal's creative scene.
While the channel is branded Sondesh TV, the show itself is the 'Soul Connection Podcast,' a long-form interview series in Bengali. Host Arunav Khasnabis sits down with actors, directors, and other creatives, primarily from the Tollywood (Bengali cinema) industry, for deeply personal, unstructured conversations ('adda'). The discussions move beyond career highlights to explore childhood struggles, personal philosophy, and the emotional toll of a creative life, often touching on themes of addiction, loss, and existentialism.
“Unlike typical celebrity interviews, the 'Soul Connection Podcast' prioritizes psychological depth over promotion, creating an intimate, almost therapeutic space where guests share vulnerable stories about their darkest moments and philosophical outlooks.”
