Welcome to all you podcast fans. If you have come in search of the best Tamil podcasts on Spotify, then I understand your frustration. There are so many podcasts out there in English, Hindi, etc but it is always heartwarming to listen to someone talk in your native language about a topic you are interested in. Trust me even I have gone searching the web for them. So I thought it would be better to curate a list of the best ones for people stuck like I was.
So without further ado, below is the list of the best Tamil podcasts on Spotify.
In this post you will find
Best Tamil podcasts on Spotify
Special Mention – The Merkol Podcast
I figured I could be a little selfish here. I run the Merkol Podcast and I release an episode every Thursday. I am fair because I have not included mine in the list of best Tamil podcasts below. So cut me some slack for it.
The word Merkol in Tamil means ‘Quote’. Quotes transcend many years, in this process the meaning and the reason why it was said is altered or in some cases, lost. They need better explanations to understand the core concepts.
Through this podcast, I aim to deliver to you the actual meaning and concepts behind amazing, thought-provoking quotes and offer my views on their relevance to today’s world.
You can check it out if you want.
The podcasts below are listed in no particular order. I am not giving you my opinion of what is the best. This is just a list of all the good Tamil podcasts on Spotify that are out there.
Hello Dubai uh!? – Miss Anonymous
This podcast is hosted by Miss. Anonymous. She is a student here and provides thought-provoking, must-know facts with few spoons of fun. She also includes voice-overs from different comedians which seamlessly integrates with her content.
I am pretty sure, you are going to like this!
She does not follow a set day of the week to publish her episodes, they come out randomly. But that just adds to the fun of it like the drops that Supreme does.
You can follow her Instagram handle to connect with this podcast.

Oxytalksin – Susmitha Ros
Want to start every Saturday with the right mindset? Listen to Oxytalksin by Susmitha Ros. She covers a wide range of topics and shares her own experiences as well as it surely adds a personal touch to every episode.
My favorite ones have been Episode #9 – Normalization and Episode #6 – Glaorization of success. Both these topics are ones that needed to be talked about often to help people stay on the right track and I am very happy she is one among the few who have done it.
Definitely would love to have her on my podcast to discuss some of her favorite quotes. Let’s see if it happens.

This Life Ticket Tamil Podcast
This Life Ticket Tamil show is hosted by VB, an ordinary girl sharing the experience of amazing people, who taught simple ways to realize and practice throughout the day to guide us along life’s journey.
Here is how she explains Life: “In this world, we solely own one thing, Life. In this journey from birth till death we learn, try and experience a lot of things yet the ultimate thing we want is to be happy and peaceful till we reach our destination.”
Through her podcast, she genuinely offers actionable steps that help us overcome whatever it is we are struggling with. Each episode is roughly around 8 minutes long and is packed with content. I usually listen to her episodes on my evening walks and I instantly get motivated. So a big thanks to her.
In her latest episodes, she spoke about overcoming breakups which put certain things in the right perspective in my own life as well and I am sure would help others as well.
Do give it a listen, you won’t be disappointed.
