IndiCast covered by BBC and Outlook
The latest feather in IndiCast’s cap is its coverage on BBC Radio. Chris Vallance from BBC Radio FiveLive has a show called Up all night : Pods and Blogs that aires late in the night and talks about blogs and Podcasts from around the world. We spoke about why we podcast and a few other things about IndiCast or “IndiaCast” as Chris likes to call it!! We got a good 5 mins airtime on BBC radio which is pretty good. Boley toh, BBC is a big deal.
This month has been very kind to Indicast. We were also covered by Outlook Magazine and here is the scanned article. This is just the magazine edition and I’ll post the complete interview (online edition) when the reporter, Rana Rosen, sends me the link.
Sometimes we both wonder about all the media attention that we have received. We had never thought that IndiCast would put us on TV, radio and magazines. So for now, life is good. Thanks a lot to all our listeners.
Here is IndiCast’s interview on BBC’s site (Our part begin nearly 30 minutes into the show) but to make things easier, you can use the player below.

Well done, guys!
It’s great to see the Indicast getting noticed by mainstream media. I look forward to listening to your new episodes.
I don’t know whether I am in a position to suggest but I shall still do
It would be great if you could invite someone to talk about different topics just like Joy at VoiceOfAmbition does apart from normal discussion between both of you.
Good luck

Parag : Thanks a lot for the maturity comment. We made it a point that we dont loose the opporuntity like BBC to inform people about flip side of India.
Hiren : Its been quiet some time since we had someone on our show and believe me a very interesting guest interview podcast is on its way.

Its really cool how you guys got to go on BBC radio! Congratulations for that. And about your previous comment, a couple of posts ago- don’t worry you can’t get rid of me that easily besides i like a good arguement. But lets try spelling my name right for a start. P-R-E-R-A-N-A. I dont spell it with an extra “a” just for the fun of it!

Congrats guys. Good to see that you guys are being noticed internatioanally.
BTW, where is the promised “dirty version” of podcast - guess now you have dropped the idea.

P-R-E-R-A-N-A : Good to know that you are still with us. Dont you leave us. You and Pratiti are the only thing thats keeping abhishek interested in Indicast. LOL
Geniusoid: Problem fixed, now lets get you fixed. Lets get together next weekend
E@zyVG: Looks like you have been out of the country for too long. To be frank it had completely skipped my mind. But within the next 5 episodes, you shall have one.

Hey guys! It’s really good to see that you are being recognized more and more. Keep up the incredible work! I also wanted to say that it’s nice to know what you finally look like. You probably do know that most of your listeners probably wondered… and now we know! Anyway, no more essays from me right now; just wanted to congratulate you! Jai Hind!
