Last year, Amazon-owned Audible launched Audible Suno app especially for the Indian market. It is a free streaming service that gives unlimited access to Audible’s exclusive audio entertainment. It’s a perfect companion for you when you are locked at home and want to give your eyes a break. Available on Google playstore, it’s a free to download app that offers wide-range of audio content ranging from audiobooks to series and motivational talks to people’s stories under lockdown.
Catering exclusively to the Indian market, Audible Suno offers audio content from nearly 60 content creators. The app has over 2,00,000 Hindi and English audiobooks. Some are available free of cost and some are member-exclusive. Some of the most popular shows on the app feature celebrities like Amitabh Bachchan, Karan Johar, Tabu and Anurag Kashyap, both in Hindi and in English. There are a range of shows on offer including horror (Kaali Awaazein), romance and relationships (Matrimonial Anonymous and Piya Milan Chowk), suspense (Thriller Factory) and comedy series (The Unexperts by Abish Mathew).
If mythology interests you then check out the 18-episode series ‘Suno Mahabharata Devdutt Pattanaik ke Saath’ which is a retelling of the magnum opus. Another not-to-be-missed show is ‘Qisse Lockdown Ke with Neelesh Misra’, where the popular radio personality takes you on a journey of inspirational and relatable tales about these challenging times. To tickle your funny bone, Sorabh Pant’s ‘Comedian In Quarantine Ki Kahaniyaan’ brings forward humorous situations while being stuck at home, ranging from chores to dealing with your spouse the entire day.
