This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed Human.

No gloss, no filter.

Just stories.

Spoken without fear.

Person who is not generous can not be an artist.

The world will be at peace only when it is ruled by poets and philosophers.

Listen to my weekly podcast, the Pooja Abhaw show,

and the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts,

or wherever you get your podcasts.

Come for the honesty.

Stay for the fire.
