About

As a Desi listener of True Crime Podcasts, I've always felt that there has been a void in this space; one in the shape of the Indian Subcontinent.

So I dove head first into this deep dark unknown waters of Podcasting to try & fill that void for other listeners like me.

Crimes & criminals are the same all over the world. However there is a rich cultural and regional flavor to the stories which needs to be folded in gently to fully understand them. I want to bring those desi quirks and nuances into the mix so that you can get a clearer picture.

So come join me & my cuz Alex(who chimes in on most episodes), as we tell you spicy tales from the Desi lands.

Grab a cup of Chai, get cozy under a blanket & listen to Crimes from the East..

Namaste!

Alex

Co-Host, Digital Art Designer

Alex is a half-Indian, full-horror-fanatic, with a somewhat “gallows” sense of humor and a questionable moral compass! She is looking to fill the masala spaces in her soul with the Desi umami chaat of crime and the pursuit of justice.

After having spent a good part of the last decade filling the background of her life with true crime podcasts. Alex was gung ho to play the part of the somewhat-but-not-entirely-desi sounding board for stories of demented and macabre happenings from South Asia & so she is now baked into the DNA of Crimes from the East!
