Best Podcasts in Jaipur and Rajasthan to Follow in 2026

If you search for the best podcasts in Jaipur, you mostly find lists that repeat each other, claim a ‘No.1’ with no proof, and skip basics like language and genre, which is exactly what you need when you look for Jaipur podcasters worth following. We wanted something more useful. So we checked the main shows below on their own pages or platform listings in October 2026, and we only include what we could verify. Two shows come only from a directory listing, and we say so in the table.

One thing first: we also run a podcast. YTMahendra Podcast is our own show, hosted by our founder Mahendra Kumar and recorded at Oskillo Studio in Vaishali Nagar. We list it with the others and mark it clearly, so you can judge for yourself.

Key takeaways

• Jaipur has shows in very different lanes: creator and business stories, literature and ideas, and Hindi news and politics.
• Outside Jaipur, we could verify Rajasthan podcasts from Bhilwara, Jodhpur and a few statewide shows. We found no verified podcast from Udaipur, Kota, Bikaner or Ajmer.
• Several shows describe themselves as Rajasthan’s No.1. No neutral ranking backs any of them, so we say ‘claims’ where it applies.
• Check language and genre before you press play. It saves more time than any ranking.

What are the best podcasts in Jaipur right now?

The best podcasts in Jaipur right now are YTMahendra Podcast for creator and entrepreneur stories, Jaipur Bytes for literature and ideas, and The Jaipur Dialogues Podcasts for Hindi news and politics. Pick by genre, because these three have almost no overlap.

YTMahendra Podcast (our own show)

YTMahendra Podcast started in July 2024. Mahendra Kumar hosts it, and it focuses on real-life stories of creators, entrepreneurs and changemakers, particularly from Rajasthan. You can find it on YouTube at @ytmahendrapodcast and on Spotify. It is recorded at Oskillo, so the sets you see on screen are the ones we rent out. Among YTMahendra Podcast guests, Amresh Bharti is one we can point to, and episode topics range from YouTube growth (YTM-19, with Amresh Bharti, 8 Nov 2024) to Jaipur property and JDA-approved layouts in a later Hindi/Hinglish episode.

Jaipur Bytes

Jaipur Bytes is the official podcast of the Jaipur Literature Festival. Its 2026 season on Apple Podcasts includes episodes with Anupama Chopra, Swapna Liddle and Anurag Minus Verma. Feedspot lists Sarthak Kaushik and Eric Chopra as the hosts. If you like books, history and film conversations, start with the Jaipur Bytes podcast.

The Jaipur Dialogues Podcasts

The Jaipur Dialogues Podcasts is a Hindi news and politics show that was still posting on 8 October 2026. Its Instagram bio claims 2M+ on YouTube, which is the channel’s own figure. The content is opinionated and political, so listen with that in mind.

Feedspot’s India list also names Learn Hindi On The Go by Ritansh Pandey and The Underdog Dentist Show by Gireesh Likhyani as Jaipur-based. We list them as ‘listed’, not as ranked, because we did not check their performance.

Which Rajasthan podcasts are worth following outside Jaipur?

For Rajasthan podcasts beyond Jaipur, the clearest verified show is Padharo Mhare Podcast from Bhilwara district, which covers Rajasthani culture. Jodhpur has radio-style podcasts on Spotify, and a few statewide shows exist. Other major cities had nothing we could verify.

• Bhilwara: Padharo Mhare Podcast is hosted by Ks Rathore, who comes from Asind in Bhilwara district. It covers Rajasthani culture, spirituality and local voices, and is on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, JioSaavn and Amazon Music.
• Jodhpur: Red FM publishes U-turn Jodhpur, Band (Jodhpur) and Morning No.1 Jodhpur on Spotify. These are described as radio-style podcasts.
• Statewide: News18 Rajasthan runs a YouTube podcast playlist of interviews with prominent people. Ziddi Chora (Rajasthani Stories) is a small Spotify show on Rajasthani culture, songs and food.
• Udaipur, Kota, Bikaner, Ajmer: we found no verified podcast. Udaipur Tales is a storytelling festival, not a podcast, and its latest listed edition ran 10 to 12 January 2025.

That gap is real. If you run a show from one of these cities, we found no verified local show to compete with, so there is room to be the first.

Is there really a No.1 podcast in Rajasthan?

No neutral source ranks any podcast as Rajasthan’s No.1. YTMahendra Podcast, Padharo Mhare Podcast and others each use the phrase about themselves. Treat it as marketing, not proof. Judge any podcast in Rajasthan by its episodes, how regularly it uploads, the language it uses and the guests it brings, because those are things you can check yourself.

Padharo Mhare, for example, describes itself as Rajasthan’s No.1 podcast. An IMDb list ranks it first for Rajasthan, but the entry shows only 9 episodes, so that rank says little about listening numbers. We do not treat such a claim about our own show as a ranking either. Here is how we check any claim:

1. Ask who made the claim. A show saying it about itself is not a ranking.
2. Look for a date. A subscriber count without a date is not useful, and numbers go stale within months.
3. Check the platform. Subscribers on YouTube and plays on Spotify are different things.
4. Open three random episodes. Consistent audio and a regular schedule tell you more than any badge.

Where should you start listening?

Start with one show that matches your interest, then try a second lane. For creator stories, begin with YTMahendra Podcast. For books and ideas, open Jaipur Bytes. For Rajasthani culture, try Padharo Mhare Podcast. Pick a single episode first, not a whole back catalogue.

If you search for a Rajasthani podcast on Spotify, Ziddi Chora (Rajasthani Stories) is a small, easy place to hear Rajasthani songs and food stories. Treat Hindi podcasts from Rajasthan the same way: check the language in the description, then listen to the first five minutes before you commit.

How are Jaipur podcasts recorded, and where can you record one?

A good video podcast is usually recorded in a treated room with two or more cameras, proper microphones and someone watching levels. If you want to record a podcast in Jaipur, a studio rental is the quickest route. Oskillo Studio in Vaishali Nagar is one place to do it.

Here is how a session works at Oskillo Studio, near Mall of Jaipur, where our own show is recorded:

1. Concept and strategy. We talk through your topic, audience and format.
2. Pre-production. We plan the script or question flow, pick a set, and check mics, lights and cameras.
3. Production. We record in 4K with multiple cameras, monitor live, and guide you on the spot.
4. Post-production. Editing, colour, audio mastering, thumbnails, captions, reels and platform exports.

The rooms are soundproof and acoustically treated. Our Business Class setup uses a Shure SM7B microphone with a RODECaster Pro II console, and Economy Class uses a Shure MV7+ with a Zoom PodTrak P8 recorder. Cameras on our show are Sony A7 IV and A7C bodies. Our founders are present at every shoot, and beginners get guidance. We are open every day from 10 AM to 8 PM, and booking ahead is recommended.

If you are wondering how much a podcast studio costs in Jaipur, Oskillo Studio’s rates per hour are below. The full pricing page has the add-ons.

Editing is separate. A podcast edit of up to 90 minutes is Rs 3,000, and the Complete Podcast Edit at Rs 10,000 includes the main edit, a highlight, three reels with covers and two thumbnails. See our studio rental page for sets and details.

How do you start a podcast in Hindi or Rajasthani?

To start a podcast in Hindi or Rajasthani, choose one clear topic, record in the language you think in, and publish on YouTube and Spotify. Good audio matters more than fancy cameras. Record a short test episode first, then fix problems before you launch.

• Pick a lane. The gaps we saw are cities with no verified show and very few pages that state a show’s language or genre, so a focused niche helps.
• Write your language in the title and description. Listeners search by language, and most pages skip this.
• Plan 5 to 8 questions per guest and keep episodes consistent in length.
• Get audio right. If you record at home, a dynamic mic such as the Shure MV7X XLR mic with a Zoom PodTrak P8 recorder is a sensible pair.
• Publish the same episode in two forms: full video on YouTube, audio on Spotify.

If you would rather skip the setup, rent a podcast studio in Jaipur for a single session and see how it feels. You can book with or without editing, and you can also send footage to us for remote editing if you are outside Jaipur. Message us on WhatsApp or use the contact page, and we will help you pick a set and a time.
