Podcasts have steadily gained popularity worldwide and in India over the last couple of years. They started as a way for individuals to hold important discussions that engage their audience and even bring impactful stories in a conversational manner. Podcasts enabled social commentators and change-makers alike to reach out to people without the interference of political or business interests.
Here are 5 podcasts you should be exploring if you are into the social sector:
