MUMBAI: Music broadcast app Gaana is expanding its mix of unique and exclusive audio content, by adding Mirchi Murga and Hansi ke Phuwarey, two of Radio Mirchi’s most popular humour shows to its line up.
‘Mirchi Murga with Naved’ is Radio Mirchi’s popular comedy segment, and has won the best Radio Sparkler Award at Indian Excellence in Radio Awards (ERA 2015). Naved has donned many different avatars for years.
‘Hansi Ke Phuwarey with Sud’, by comic Sunil Grover, is a popular series known for its deadpan humour. ‘Hansi ke phuwarey’ has Sudarshan aka Sud reading out jokes from a book with the same title (HKPh). On Gaana, a new joke will be released every day, building a daily listening habit.
