SUARA BERKELAS
Indonesia's top self-improvement podcast, featuring deep interviews with experts on mindset, career, and well-being for the 20s-30s crowd.
SUARA BERKELAS is a long-form interview podcast from Indonesia, positioned as the country's number one resource for personal upgrades. Host Bilal Faranov engages in deep, respectful conversations with 'classy' experts—therapists, authors, seasoned creators, and entrepreneurs—to deconstruct their mindset and process. The show blends philosophical discussions on life and purpose with practical advice on everything from managing trauma to building a creative career.
“Unlike general talk shows, SUARA BERKELAS maintains a tight focus on actionable self-development, framed by the host's own journey of overcoming career uncertainty. Its signature is the deep-dive, single-guest format that respects the guest's expertise, creating a masterclass-like feel in every episode.”
