Maed in India

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.

“Remember that in the darkest days when everything stopped, you turned to artists.” - Jishnu Bandyopadhyay

What was that

How come there’s an episode where you interview a musician and they talk about their parent dying and you laugh (perhaps nervously) and maybe after a sentence, move into their childhood and how they came across music. That exchange just puts a knot in my stomach and this is the first episode I started listening and can’t even get past that. I know the podcast is about music but not giving a major life circumstance the air time it needs feels like it misses the point of music altogether. Giving you two stars because I haven’t listened to the entire podcast (can’t get past this gaff).
