An initiative by the visual communication students of Nazareth College of Arts and Science in Avadi, this podcast has drawn avid listeners from various quarters
The voice of podcast host Vinisha Suresh is booming as she explains the significance of World Soil Day observed on December 5 and how anyone can contribute to the cause it represents.
“A seed will not grow in every soil. We too as students bloom when we are planted in the right environment and we take advantage of the opportunities it offers. We need to make use of the opportunities provided by the institution and beneficial things around us,” the host explains in a chatty tone. This one marks the 150th episode of the podcast.
For two years now, the Visual Communication students of Nazareth College of Arts and Science in Avadi have been running a podcast series titled “Truly Nazareth” sharing inspiring stories and starting engaging conversations by bringing a variety of voices on board.
Predominantly in Tamil, the podcasts dwell on mindfulness, self-development and career advice. It also provides a peek into happenings in the neighbourhood.
The weekly podcast has so far not missed its deadline. Every Friday at 6 p.m., a new episode is released on www.trulynazareth.com and Spotify immediately after which the link to it is shared with heads of departments and promoted on the college’s social media handles. This is in turn shared with other WhatApp groups including the other institutions run by the Nazareth Group. The content creation, voiceover and editing of Truly Nazareth is led by eight students, five from Visual Communication department and the rest drawn from other departments.
