About the Podcast
The ParrotHouse Podcast dives into India’s rich landscapes of folklore. Each episode, between 10 to 20 minutes, narrated in a storytelling format, brings to light lesser-known folktales from diverse regions of India, merging additional informative context with engaging storytelling.
India’s folklore is a vast ocean of cultural heritage, yet much remains unknown to younger generations who favour quick, engaging media. ParrotHouse aims to bridge this gap by creating a format that is conscise and captures the essence of Indian folklore, making it accessible to the digital-native audience. Each episode is crafted to introduce listeners to a single tale or myth, highlighting the origins, themes, and cultural significance of the story. By focusing on lesser-known folklore, ParrotHouse seeks not only to preserve these traditions but also to encourage audiences to connect with regional cultures across India, fostering unity in diversity.
Through carefully curated soundscapes and vivid narration, listeners are transported into a different world with each episode, creating an immersive experience that is both informative and entertaining.
