Question 1

Why Kadhaineram Podcast? Oor ulagathula yevlovo podcast irukka naan yen Kadhaineram podcast kekanum?

Accepted Answer

I created this podcast for my nephew, my sister's son, and I’ll be narrating the same stories to my 2.5-year-old daughter. My father  narrates stories (Hosur Thaathaa Kadhaigal) for his grandson, and my daughter and I also listen together.

We do this for our family, and when you and your children listen, you become part of our extended family too. This means there’s no commercial aspect to the stories, no politics, no hatred, no division, no glorification of negative behavior, no body shaming, and nothing you wouldn't want your children to hear.

Our stories are filled with good morals. They aim to boost your child's morale, make them laugh and smile, expand their creative horizons, and most importantly, help them fall asleep with a smile.

Yes, I do appreciate and acknowledge the efforts of kids who send in their stories. They receive a digital certificate, and last time, I even surprised them with a coloring book I had created.

But once they do, I make sure to show my appreciation in a meaningful way.
