Adda with Eshaan Akbar

addawitheshaan

Welcome to Adda with Eshaan Akbar, the podcast for all of you who have thoughts, questions, opinions or advice that you want to throw out into the world in 90 seconds.

Adda is the Bengali word for "casual hang" or "chat", but it's a bit more than that; it’s an art form—that aimless, circular, beautiful conversation that has no agenda, no clock, and absolutely no filter.

You send in your voice notes and your host, stand-up comedian Eshaan Akbar, responds to them.

If you’ve sent it in via voice note, he's talking about it.
