Aaj Tak radio’s podcast “Teen Taal” marks 100 blockbuster episodes

Teen Taal, an original podcast on India Today Group’s official podcast platform Aaj Tak Radio, hits the 100-episode milestone on September 10.

Together, they tackle a new conversation every Saturday, ranging from political events, Indian society, viral stuff on social media, food, movies to much more over an hour-and-a-half episode. 

Their signature blend of humour and wit has garnered them a devoted following, which communicates with them through numerous notes, long handwritten letters, and emails of admiration for the show. 

It also receives a significant amount of traction on social media and has inspired listeners to create memes. 

Listeners have loved Tau’s wit and unpopular opinions, Baba’s rich vocabulary and anecdotes from real India and Sardar’s intriguing way of hosting, shayari and jokes.

The 100 episodes of the show will be celebrated with a special event at the India Today Auditorium on September 10 called Teen Taal Sammelan.
