Episodes with Special Info

In many of our episodes, we have made some remarks on some particular litterateur or other, or their specific works, or Bengali literature in general.

Often, these remarks are included as the introductory part of some specific episode in which we read a specific story by an author.

In other cases, these remarks are part of an episode that consists entirely of conversation: to bookend a season, or to mark a special occasion or milestone.

Although we claim no particular erudition, we have worked hard to research appropriate sources, and also to look deep inside our hearts, in preparing  these comments; we hope you find them of some value.  In this section, we list all of them in one place.  (Some episodes appear more than once, since they contain material on more than one topic.)

We thought some of you might like to have written versions of these remarks to read through, in addition to being able to listen to them in our episodes.  Where we have them readily available, we have provided them below as well.
