Sindhu Vee’s top podcast appearances
Celebrating podcasters is a common occurrence, but in this modern world being a solid, grade-A guest is something that needs celebrating. Our Podcast Prophet from Issue #012 of the magazine was Sindhu Vee!
Since swapping a career in investment banking for one in comedy, Sindhu has fast become one of the most exciting and sought-after talents on the UK circuit. While co-hosting the Child Labour podcast with Stuart Goldsmith and featuring regularly on The Guilty Feminist, Sindhu has guested on a number of other podcasts, covering a diverse range of subjects. Here are some of our favourites….
OFF MENU
Ep 15 // Sindhu Vee // Mar 2019
Often cited as one of Ed Gamble’s and James caster’s favourite episodes, Sindhu is in inspired form as she visits the dream restaurant to select her dream starter, main, side dish, dessert and drink. The choices themselves will have you salivating throughout but it’s the stories behind them that make this such a great listen. Listen on your podcast player >>
OLDER AND WIDER
The one with Craft Carriage, a jumpsuit fail and Sindhu Vee // Aug 2019
In recent years, podcasting has been taking steps to address the imbalance of certain unrepresented demographics and, as self-described “women of a certain age”, Jenny and Judith are leading the charge. Sindhu provides excellent company here as the three enjoy a deep dive into the realities of hair removal and so much more. Listen on your podcast player >>
WORD OF MOUTH
Sindhu Vee // Feb 2020
Hosted by children’s author and poet Michael Rosen, Word of Mouth is about words and language and the weird and wonderful ways they’re used. Sindhu’s background (her Mother spoke Hindi, her father spoke Tamil, her childminder spoke Nepalese and her husband is Danish) leads to a fascinating conversation about intertwining dialects and influences.

YOU’RE DEAD TO ME
Mughal Empire // Apr 2020
In You’re Dead To Me, Greg Jenner invites the ‘best names in comedy and history to learn and laugh about the past’, this time focusing on the Mughal Empire that controlled much of South Asia between the 16th and 19th centuries. The examination of the empire’s legacy in art and architecture is fascinating and Sindhu’s humour is the cherry on the cake. Listen on your podcast player >>
WHEEL OF MISFORTUNE
Piss with Sindhu Vee // Oct 2020
Within months of Wheel of Misfortune launching, their lewd subject matters were frowned upon in the Daily Mail with a Tory MP being asked whether, as a BBC Sounds production, this was appropriate use of license fees. This episode maintains that reputation as Sindhu joins hosts Alison and Fern for 30 minutes of wee chat… and it’s an absolute joy. Listen on your podcast player >>
