About the Guest:

K Bharath is the Chief Producer of award-winning podcast agency, https://www.pikkal.com/ (Pikkal & Co.) He is a self-confessed audio fanatic whose exposure to audio and media as a Mass Comm student in RMIT became his unfair advantage to learning audio editing.

On his first day at work, he was handed a mixer, taught how to use a microphone and given eight hours to learn audio editing. Fair enough, he pulled it through, producing his first show, https://open.spotify.com/show/5LYkz7HSZEBe8mtAS63b4O#_=_ (Pitch Deck Asia).

Some of his notable podcasts productions include https://open.spotify.com/show/1v8B4bTGUc4582JQIdtS4X (Sounds of Our City), https://open.spotify.com/show/7tnytcc699F87YN3cw1l9M (Radio DDC) and https://www.atp.show/ (Asia Tech Podcast). Today, K Bharat has over 1500 episodes produced under his sleeves and is also the host of https://podtail.com/en/podcast/magic-mic/ (Magic Mic Podcast) where he interviews podcasters about their stories and journey in podcasting.
