The Tea Kettle - DesiQuest After Show Podcast - Ep 4 with Anjali Bhimani & Anand Shah *SNEAK PEAK*

Episode Description:
When the kettle whistles and the tea is ready, it's time for the DesiQuest after-show—and what a show it is! Omar Najam and I, Sandeep Parikh, are all cozied up inside the teapot, steaming with excitement.  After every episode of DesiQuest is launched, we'll release another episode of the Tea Kettle with me and Omar and a very special guest, or guest from either behind or in front of the camera.

Step into the shadows of storytelling with Anjali Bhimani and Anand Shah, our special guests and executive producers, as we peel back the curtain on DesiQuest's fourth episode. It's a journey into the heart of horror, complete with anecdotes from the set that will have you both laughing and glancing over your shoulder. From Anjali's 'True Dice Goblin' shenanigans to the bone-chilling atmosphere that haunted our filming, this episode is a treasure trove for fans who relish a touch of the macabre in their podcasts.

The conversation then shifts to the eclectic and sometimes eerie world of dice collecting, where liquid cores and ethically sourced bone dice roll into our intrigue-fueled discussion. Sandeep shares a poignant moment of gratitude that brings a human touch to our gaming rituals. So join us and our illustrious guests as we explore the spine-tingling depths of narrative and character, and be sure to share your reactions—every like and comment fuels our journey into the extraordinary and the eerie.
