We are creating ongoing cover art for a new series of episodic “Audible Original” content developed as “cinema for your ears” for mainstream entertainment audiences who don’t regularly read books, so the objective was to create artwork that feels more like a movie poster than a book cover.

This series is available globally via the Audible app, but is marketed heavily to an Indian audience.

India’s scariest incidences are often witnessed by the most unexpected sources – the rickshaw drivers who work late at night, the factory workers, the delivery boys who travel far into India’s interiors, etc. This series recounts their most hair-raising real life tales, the strange phenomena, ghost sightings and supernatural incidences they’ve witnessed with their own eyes. Cinematic sound design allows listeners to travel the country with them, late at night, in the back seat of their car, in the back corner of a factory, as they retell these incredible tales. The series is narrated by the subjects themselves, a first-of-its-kind eye witness series meant to transform listeners’ evening commutes as they too wonder, what tales their own driver can tell.

This series removes the stigma from openly talking about mental health by two comedians who share their own mental health journey and guests on every episode (comedians, actors, experts, etc.) who are funny, honest and completely unashamed to talk about what’s been an otherwise taboo subject in India.

Mental Health is completely normal. Talk about how you’re feeling. Vent. Laugh with friends. Don’t feel ashamed to tell others how you feel.

Swami Hasyadev Maharaj is Vir Das’s spiritual alter ego, a sweet-talking guru who touts the miraculous power of laughter and offers disastrously misguided advice. He’s so convinced of his beliefs, and so endearingly out of his depth, that you might just wonder if he’s onto something. Starring Suresh Menon in his first series on Audible.

Agla Station Investigation is a true-crime parody series. Each episode features sergeant Aishwaryuh and two detectives investigating a new “crime”——such as a stolen office lunch or a doll that’s missing its head—that hardly warrants an investigation.

Under the leadership of Aishwaryuh, the two airheaded detectives of the petty crimes division—Aiyadaman and Chanaka—are quickly whipped into shape. Despite solving a record number of cases, the ambitious Aishwaryuh isn’t content with being stuck working small-time misdemeanors. She’s eager to move up the ranks and work homicide cases, which she eventually succeeds in doing.

Both victims and investigators in this series treat these humdrum occurrences with the seriousness of a gritty crime drama. Agla Station Investigation is an absurd sendup of a familiar genre.

From brainstorming jokes to practicing delivery, the series offers a behind-the-scenes look at the creative process of different stand-up comedians. But under such a tight deadline, will they kill it or bomb on stage?

Jab We Sex is a sex-education show that covers every topic you should know but are too afraid to ask – from contraception to pleasure and everything in between, including some serious topics like abuse.
