From radio jockeying to television, this live show host is busy juggling tasks
From radio to television, is switching medium a difficult task?
I would say it has been hectic. One live show in the morning on radio and another one on television in the evening have been quite a juggle and struggle. I have been with radio for five years and I have gotten into the flow of things. But TV is new to me. It has a different kind of buzz and it involves greater interaction with the audience.
What is the format of Bindass Live?
This show can best be described as a platform for youth to speak out their minds and voice their grievances. It is a daily show and each episode targets issues like homosexuality, smoking, child rights and many other issues. Every day, we also have artistes from various fields coming on the sets, like DJs, tattoo artists and models.
What was it about the show that appealed to you?
The best thing about youth-based talk shows is that the younger crowd is never diplomatic and very straight forward. They have definite opinions. It is a lot of fun interacting with them because even I get a chance to be myself.
How’s the experience of hosting a live show on television?
