Jalso Podcasts
Hosted by Jalso Podcasts
Thoughtful Gujarati conversations on culture, spirituality, and art, hosted by storyteller Naishadh Purani.
A long-form Gujarati interview show where host Naishadh Purani engages experts on deep cultural, historical, and spiritual topics. Episodes often dissect a single subject—from the history of a mantra to the life of a poet—with academic rigor but a conversational, accessible tone. The channel also features some solo episodes presented by guest experts.
“Unlike general-interest talk shows, Jalso dedicates entire multi-hour episodes to a single, focused topic with a credentialed expert, creating a definitive audio document on that subject in Gujarati.”

What you'll be asked on this show
Naishadh Purani's interviews often begin with a thoughtful, thematic monologue that frames the topic and establishes the guest's authority before they are even introduced. [l4uIDjo3Ti8, UofCHWnvKJw] His opening questions are typically broad and foundational, inviting the guest to establish the core premise (e.g., 'Is the Mirabai we know from popular culture the real one?'). [l4uIDjo3Ti8] He probes deeper by connecting guest statements to broader themes or asking for clarification on technical points, such as the difference between a mantra's meter and its substance. [KzUkgZsGaGA] Rather than direct pushback, he expresses curiosity and appreciation with interjections like 'Kya baat hai!', encouraging guests to elaborate in long, narrative answers. [l4uIDjo3Ti8] He sometimes uses playful, themed rapid-fire questions to create a lighter mood and often closes by asking guests for their personal connection to the subject. [UofCHWnvKJw, l4uIDjo3Ti8]
