The ParrotHouse Podcast

The Osari Festival | EP05

In the depths of Manipur’s jungle, a jackal’s chance discovery - a gleaming coin - sets off a chain of events that captivates the entire forest. Whispers of magic, power, and ambition spread like wildfire. But the jungle has its own rules. Can the jackal bend fate to his will, or is he chasing an illusion? <h4>Credits</h4> Director: Nikhita SinghWriter: Pauline Awungshi Cast: Aathira Gopi, Akarsh Sharma, Divyansh Thada, Gokul Krishnan, Pauline Awungshi, Ruchi Chadha, Dr Smriti PahwaSound Designer & Editor: hashparker Music Composer: Hasan Baldiwala and Aman ArakhMusic Producer: Aman ArakhExecutive Producer: Divyansh ThadaCreative Producer: Pauline Awungshi Sound Engineer: Raman KakkarRecording Studio: Humming Pixels StudioPoster & Social Media Design: Manan AgarwalAnimation: Jeet Das Social Media Planning: Pauline AwungshiCCF Support Team: Ashmeen Bains, Archie Joshi, Akarsh Sharma, Stephy Anthony, Vedanti Hindurao, Priyanandana A N, Ranjana Sarkar, Aashika PrabhakarIndian Sign Language (ISL) Video Production: Vivid SutraISL Expert (Deaf): Sameer YadavISL Interpreter: Stuti KumariISL Casting & Direction: Payal BoseISL Cinematography & Editing: Mayank Kumar Commissioning Producer: Dheeraj Dubey﻿A <a href="https://www.instagram.com/official_ccfindia/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">CCF</a> x <a href="https://www.instagram.com/parwanatheatre/?igsh=MTd1YjU0bWhqMWl3Zg%3D%3D#" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">Parwana</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/parwanatheatre/?igsh=MTd1YjU0bWhqMWl3Zg%3D%3D#" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Theatre</a> Production Powered by Hyundai Foundation's Art for Hope 2025 GrantHave a story to share?

The Magic of the Jackal | EP04

How do we truly understand courage? Is it in the roar of a lion, or the quiet determination of someone who leads without fanfare? In this episode, we bring you a tale from the vibrant heart of Punjab that raises thought-provoking questions about the meaning of true leadership, the fragility of borrowed identities, and the perils of judging strength by appearances. <h4>Credits</h4> Director: Nikhita SinghWriter: Pauline Awungshi Cast: Akarsh Sharma, Divyansh Thada, Harshad Sambamurthy, Isha Tyagi, Omkar Phatak, Ruchi Chadha, Vikas KumarSound Designer & Editor: hashparker Music Composer: Hasan Baldiwala and Aman ArakhMusic Producer: Aman ArakhExecutive Producer: Divyansh ThadaCreative Producer: Pauline Awungshi Sound Engineer: Raman KakkarRecording Studio: Humming Pixels StudioPoster & Social Media Design: Manan AgarwalAnimation: Jeet Das Social Media Planning: Pauline AwungshiCCF Support Team: Ashmeen Bains, Archie Joshi, Akarsh Sharma, Stephy Anthony, Vedanti Hindurao, Priyanandana A N, Ranjana Sarkar, Aashika PrabhakarIndian Sign Language (ISL) Video Production: Vivid SutraISL Expert (Deaf): Sameer YadavISL Interpreter: Stuti KumariISL Casting & Direction: Payal BoseISL Cinematography & Editing: Mayank Kumar Commissioning Producer: Dheeraj Dubey﻿A <a href="https://www.instagram.com/official_ccfindia/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">CCF</a> x <a href="https://www.instagram.com/parwanatheatre/?igsh=MTd1YjU0bWhqMWl3Zg%3D%3D#" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">Parwana</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/parwanatheatre/?igsh=MTd1YjU0bWhqMWl3Zg%3D%3D#" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Theatre</a> Production Powered by Hyundai Foundation's Art for Hope 2025 GrantHave a story to share?

The Braying Lion | EP03

A Story and A Song | EP01

The ParrotHouse Podcast is where stories, songs, and their tellers and singers gather. We attempt to dive into India’s rich landscape of folklore, and take you on journeys to different parts of the country — to tell you more about the life and times, the myths and magic of this vast land.  Through this podcast, we aim to celebrate Indian folklore and make it accessible and engaging for a contemporary audience. We are choosing to amplify underrepresented narratives by bringing forward diverse and overlooked stories.  By highlighting the historical and cultural contexts of each tale, we hope these stories will entertain, educate, and inspire, as they were traditionally meant to! <h4>Credits</h4> Writers: Nikhita Singh, Archie Joshi, Akarsh Sharma, Pauline Awungshi Cast: Aathira Gopi, Akarsh Sharma, Divyansh Thada, Gokul Krishnan, Harshad Sambamurthy, Isha Tyagi, Nikhita Singh, Omkar Phatak, Pauline Awungshi , Ruchi Chadha, Dr Smriti Pahwa, Vikas KumarSound Designer & Editor: hashparker Music Composer: Hasan Baldiwala and Aman ArakhMusic Producer: Aman ArakhExecutive Producer: Divyansh ThadaCreative Producer: Pauline AwungshiSound Engineer: Raman KakkarRecording Studio: Humming Pixels StudioPoster & Social Media Design: Manan AgarwalAnimation: Jeet Das Social Media Planning: Pauline AwungshiCCF Support Team: Ashmeen Bains, Archie Joshi, Akarsh Sharma, Stephy Anthony, Vedanti Hindurao, Priyanandana A N, Ranjana Sarkar, Aashika PrabhakarIndian Sign Language (ISL) Video Production: Vivid SutraISL Expert (Deaf): Sameer YadavISL Interpreter: Stuti KumariISL Casting & Direction: Payal BoseISL Cinematography & Editing: Mayank Kumar Commissioning Producer: Dheeraj Dubey A <a href="https://www.instagram.com/official_ccfindia/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">CCF</a> x <a href="https://www.instagram.com/parwanatheatre/?igsh=MTd1YjU0bWhqMWl3Zg%3D%3D#" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">Parwana</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/parwanatheatre/?igsh=MTd1YjU0bWhqMWl3Zg%3D%3D#" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Theatre</a> Production Powered by Hyundai Foundation's Art for Hope 2025 GrantHave a story to share?
