In the rapidly evolving world of digital content, Som Tales—the podcast and storytelling platform created by acclaimed author and columnist Soma Bose—is emerging as a compelling creative space that celebrates the art of storytelling, thoughtful conversation, and cultural reflection.
A platform rooted in storytelling
At its core, Som Tales is an extension of Soma Bose’s deep engagement with writing and narrative craft. Each episode unfolds like a story—layered with insight, personal reflections, and creative exploration.
The podcast creates an intimate space where stories are not merely told but experienced, allowing listeners to connect with the journeys, memories, and perspectives of its guests.
By merging literary sensibility with conversational storytelling, Som Tales brings together the warmth of personal narratives and the depth of cultural dialogue, making each episode both engaging and thought-provoking.
Voices from cinema, arts and culture
The series has featured a remarkable line-up of acclaimed personalities whose voices and experiences enrich the storytelling journey. Among them are celebrated actors such as Ananya Chatterjee, Rukmini Maitra, and veteran actor Barun Chanda.
Other distinguished contributors include Biswajit Chakraborty, Tulika Basu, and Sourya Deb, whose conversations add diverse perspectives from the worlds of cinema and performance.
Adding further cultural distinction to the platform is the presence of Santoor legend and Padma Shri awardee Tarun Bhattacharya.
The podcast also broadens its scope beyond arts and entertainment. In a notable episode exploring faith and tradition, Som Tales featured Daitapati Bhabani Das Mohapatra, a leading servitor of the sacred Jagannath Temple, bringing the perspective of a respected spiritual and religious leader into the narrative frame.
A thoughtful digital space
As audiences increasingly look for content that is meaningful rather than merely momentary, Som Tales is gradually building a reputation as a thoughtful digital sanctuary. Each episode invites listeners to pause, reflect, and engage with stories that resonate beyond the screen.
Reflecting on the vision behind the podcast, creator Soma Bose says: “Som Tales grew from my lifelong love for stories and conversations. Through this podcast, I wanted to create a space where people from different walks of life could share their journeys, memories, and insights. Every episode is an attempt to celebrate storytelling in its most human form—authentic, reflective, and deeply personal.”
With its blend of literature, conversation, culture, and spirituality, Som Tales continues to carve out a unique space in the digital storytelling landscape—reminding audiences that powerful stories and meaningful conversations can still inspire, connect, and endure.

Lufthansa is expanding its winter flight schedule for 2026/27 with the launch of a new direct route by between its Munich hub and Rovaniemi, starting December 4, 2026.
Choosing a seat on a flight in India often comes at an extra cost, especially for window, aisle, or front-row options. Over time, what was once a basic part of flying has turned into a revenue stream for airlines, leaving many passengers with limited free choices during web check-in.
Passengers on board an Air India flight to Vancouver experienced a near eight-hour “flight to nowhere” after the aircraft was forced to return to Delhi due to a regulatory oversight.
