BBC News Hindi has launched the second season of its acclaimed podcast ‘Kahaani Zindagi Ki,’ based on a true life story. The weekly podcast will follow the journey of Ravi Prakash, who discusses how his terminal cancer diagnosis came as a complete shock to him, how he battles with cancer on each level that entails not just dealing with his personal trauma but demonstrating a strong will to reconstruct his life to live longer with his family, and at the same time dealing with exorbitant medical expenses for cancer treatment. Each episode is filled with inspiring chronicles by Ravi, who was told that he had only eighteen months to live when he was diagnosed with lung cancer in January 2021.
In this podcast series, BBC journalist Sumiran Preet Kaur asks cancer patient Ravi about his experiences with terminal illness. He reflects on moments of joy and celebration, breakdowns, yet bouncing back with the desire of reconstructing his life. He shares his ‘on the go’ accounts of chemotherapy sessions, or when he goes for a family holiday, and celebrates his birthday.
BBC News Hindi’s Kahaani Zindagi Ki explores the innovative technologies used in cancer treatment, which can be unaffordable for patients. The series will have a new episode releasing every Friday on the BBC News Hindi website and YouTube channel, available on all major podcast platforms including Gaana, JioSaavn and Spotify.
