Podcasts have become a popular medium, inspiring many to pursue podcasting as a profession. This growing enthusiasm led writer and podcaster Mubarak Sandhu to establish a groundbreaking milestone in the industry with the launch of The Mubarak Show Podcast Magazine.
Mubarak Sandhu, author of three fiction books and two poetry collections, began his podcast journey in December 2023, focusing on positive and motivational content through engaging conversations with diverse guests. Over the course of a year, his podcast gained widespread recognition in the Tricity region and beyond, featuring notable personalities from across India and abroad.
Initially considering documenting his journey in a book, Mubarak eventually envisioned a unique podcast magazine, an idea inspired by his desire to innovate within the podcasting space. Finding no precedent for podcasters creating magazines based on their shows, he seized the opportunity to set a new benchmark.
On December 6, 2024, The Mubarak Show celebrated its 50th episode, achieving the remarkable feat of releasing a new episode every Friday for 50 consecutive weeks. The podcast magazine, launched to commemorate this milestone, will be an annual publication, released each December for private circulation. It chronicles Mubarak’s podcasting journey, details about the 50 guests featured during the year, and insights into the challenges and triumphs of podcasting. The magazine, available in both print and digital formats, includes embedded links to guest profiles, enabling readers to connect with them directly.
The magazine launch coincided with the release of Mubarak’s new poetry book, The Best Poetry Book, I Wish It Becomes, during a special event at the UT State Guest House in Chandigarh. The dual launch was graced by Lt. Gen. KJS ‘Tiny’ Dhillon, Mr. Vivek Atray, Ms. Saguna Jain, and Mr. Hardeep Singh Chandpuri, under the support of the Novel Bunch Literary Forum. While the poetry book is available globally on Amazon and already topping charts in its genre, the podcast magazine is exclusively available through Mubarak Sandhu.
This innovative initiative marks a significant achievement, inspiring podcasters and creators alike to document their journeys in unique and impactful ways.
