Whyfal

A Marathi podcast where hosts Suyog and Prachi have 'aimless' chats with artists and share nostalgic stories.

The brief

A conversational Marathi podcast that serves as a relaxed forum for artists and a source of cultural commentary. The 'Gappa' episodes are deep-dive interviews with actors and creators, focusing on their personal journeys, creative processes, and philosophies. Shorter, solo-hosted episodes offer relatable, often nostalgic, reflections on Maharashtrian life and culture.

The show's signature 'Batwa' (bag) segment, where guests tell stories prompted by objects they've brought, is a unique and disarming interview format. Its name, 'Whyfal' (aimless), deliberately sets a tone of authentic, unhurried conversation that contrasts with more structured, formal interview shows.
