Do you know what the best thing about listening to podcasts is? You can be in your own world with little or no interference from the outside. Since 2020, many of us sought out podcasts to keep ourselves entertained within the four walls of our house. It became the go-to medium to explore and experience a piece of new knowledge. The best podcasts rely on storytelling. And we were able to find a couple of really good Malayali podcasters whose storytelling skills were on-point. Among them, you’ll find whip-smart comedy, bone-chilling stories, history lessons, and tons of fun tales.
After Hours Malayalis
We had a chance to speak with the hosts of After Hours Malayalis podcast, Sameer Roshan and Zayaan Zakir. The best friends turned Malayali podcasters share their countless experiences and wacky thoughts in this podcast. Since they stay in Canada and Kerala respectively, their myriad experiences bring a whole lot of cultural infusion that keep you hooked. What we really like about their podcast is that they speak about everything under the sun, exactly how two best friends talk late in the night.
