The Kahani Podcast
by Sara Devi
I'm Sareena (aka Sara Devi), and welcome to The Kahani Podcast. I started my website, Kahani (kahaniblog.com), in order to share my love of storytelling with others, as well as to explain STEM & educational concepts in a more relatable way. I'm now deciding to branch out into a podcast as well, where I aspire to interview others in order to hear their kahani (or their story).I hope to capture a diverse array of stories, ranging from students to professionals in scientific fields. I feel that stories are the best way to truly learn something... and that's what this podcast is all about.
