The Early Evening Show with Eshaan Akbar
The official audio and video journal (aka podcast) of comedian Eshaan Akbar.
His dream was to host a Late Night show in America. But the format is dying, America is on fire, and he's tired. So he's doing this instead.
Every week, he discusses the week he's had, the week we've all had, and his thoughts, feelings and observations about anything, everything, and nothing at all.
It's free flowing, frequently funny, sometimes serious, routinely reflective (he wanted to keep the alliteration going).

It's the first epsiode of the Early Evening Show with Eshaan Akbar!
His dream was to host a Late Night Show in America. But the Late Night show format is dying, America is on fire, and he's tired. So he's doing this instead.
The episode ends abruptly but at a very opportune time, so he decided to bite the bullet and post it anyway because there's no time like the present. He wants to build consistency by posting the first one.
