The Bhangra Podcast

The Bhangra Pod and Folkal Points are teaming y'all. This was a Folkal Points hosted by Teg, Avi, and Angad who hosted Umer and Gagan on their pod. We discussed what happened at leading up to the comp and at the comp itself also while discussing the competition itself. There's a lot of back and forth and hopefully addressing a lot of the rumors everyone has been hearing.---------------Support us on Patreon to get all episodes a week earlier.Buy custom 3D printed plastic saaps!Check out our new drop of TBP MerchSign up for our newsletter to get updates from around the Bhangra circuit like recent placings, upcoming competitions, and much more.
