Two blind Mumbaikars are set to launch what they claim will be India’s first podcast hosted by blind presenters, with the aim of changing perceptions around disability and showcasing the creative capabilities of visually impaired people.
Titled Nazariya, the podcast will be hosted by Mira Road resident Charles Neves Rao and Malad-based Mannsi Chaudary, both of whom are completely blind and have backgrounds in performing arts, including theatre, stand-up comedy, voice acting, radio, and public speaking.
