We take a break for some Satyajit Ray
Courtesy of the ‘BBC’, here’s an hour-long radio drama featuring Feluda, Topshe and Lal Mohan “Jatayu” Ganguly.
In “Feluda: The Golden Fortress” one of the most popular of the Feluda adventure stories was specially recorded in Mumbai, and brings together a host of top Indian actors for a very special production.
Stepping into Feluda’s super sleuth shoes is Rahul Bose, while Anupam Kher plays sidekick, Lalmohan Ganguly. Special guest stars also appear as friends and foes.

Featuring K Subrahmanyam
Mohit Satyanand presents excerpts from several articles from the May 2008 issue of Pragati in the second podcast. A special feature in this edition is an excerpt from an interview with K Subrahmanyam. Hear what he has to say about 21st century geopolitics and the Indian national interest—in his own voice.
Head over to Pragati and listen online or download.
And here’s what you must watch out for—we’ll be putting the interview with K Subrahmanyam online in a series of three podcasts. It’ll be worth the wait.
It’s become easier to listen to us
Mohit Satyanand presents the April 2008 issue of Pragati in the inaugural podcast. You can listen online or download it in MP3 format. Go get it.
Listen to the voice of the revolution
Pragati will be available in a specially produced podcast edition, from April 7th onwards. It will provide a broad overview of the articles in the month’s issue of Pragati. Mohit Satyanand, your host, will read out key segments from the articles. You’ll be able to listen to the podcast online or download the podcast in MP3 format.
Here’s a sample track Mohit recorded last month. The purpose was to make sure that the technology works as intended. Unlike the the podcast edition of Pragati here he just reads one article from last month’s issue.
