Hello! I'm Priyal.
When I was a child, my grandma told me stories about brave men and women, mysterious mythological characters, and fiercely loyal animals. As I grew up, we moved away and now there is no one to tell these stories to my younger sister. I realized that lots of kids are missing out on centuries of compounded wisdom embedded within these stories. Stories based on Indian history, culture, and heritage. Through this podcast, I aim to tell these stories to the world.
