For the Love of The Refrain | Reviving Folk Music with Abhinav Agarwal (Part II)

Abhinav Agrawal, 27, an ethnomusicologist, musician and social entrepreneur is also the Founder Director of the Non-Profit Organisation, Anahad Foundation. Abhinav worked towards creating and reviving the diminishing folk music industry in India by creating self-reliant models that generate livelihoods, pride and dignity for stakeholders connected to this art form.

He is generating a demand and value for cultural folk music through building respect, recognition, identity and self-confidence of folk musicians, and in parallel creating a self-sustainable economic environment where an artist can distribute their productions directly to the public without an intermediary. In doing so, Abhinav is helping create a Folk Music industry that is a sustainable art form and an industry that is musician led.

This was one of my favourite episodes of Season 2 and was extremely fortunate to get to speak with Abhinav and hear his story and all the work that has gone into giving folk artists a voice through the Anahad Foundation.

This is Part 2 of the episode, we continue our conversation and discuss the Anahad Foundation, the Fellowship program, Equals Sessions and projects in the pipeline.

For The Love Of True Crime | Charles Sobhraj: Through the Eyes of The Serpent

The first podcast I ever tuned in to was Serial, which to be honest, is easily one of the best podcasts out there. Now into its third season, Serial set a benchmark has spurred a podcast revolution especially when it comes to True Crime as a genre.

My fascination with this however stems from some fantastic films and tv in Zodiac, Seven, Hannibal, Bates Motel, True Detective and a more recent shift to True Crime with Making a Murderer, The Jinx, Mindhunter, The Keepers, When They See Us, American Crime Story.

To kickstart the segment we’ll be exploring the life of Charles Sobhraj - Crime and Investigation have put it together rather succinctly.

"Variously described as ‘Asia’s premier serial killer’, ‘The Serpent’ and ‘The Bikini Killer’, Charles Sobhraj was an infamous con artist, drug dealer, jewel thief and cold-blooded murderer. Through the 1960s and 1970s, he wove his guileful and lethal web of deceit and crime, evading authorities from numerous countries.

Skilled at befriending people, his victims were usually vulnerable Western tourists in Southeast Asia. In and out of prison, he led a life of risk, manipulation and conspiracy that eventually made him a media celebrity. Never convicted for all his crimes, Sobhraj is estimated by some to have committed over 20 murders, whilst others put this number at 32.

Rearrested in 2004, he is currently serving a life imprisonment sentence in Kathmandu, Nepal, for a double murder in 1975."

In season 2, I hope to bring a few guests on the show where we discuss some of the most intriguing stories when it comes to true crime – in and around the sub-continent.
