As Punjab's political landscape grows more turbulent by the day, Radio Haanji's Pritam Singh Rupal and Ranjodh Singh delivered a sharp, unflinching breakdown of the forces shaping the state's future — from a landmark assembly session called for Labour Day to the widening fault line between AAP's Punjab and Delhi wings.

From the world stage, we recap King Charles III’s state visit to the White House and the jokes that have everyone talking. Plus, we look at why Donald Trump’s approval ratings are hitting new lows and the latest military developments from Gaza.

In this heartfelt episode of Interviews on Radio Haanji, RJ Yash sits down with the versatile actor Paramvir Singh. Known for his deep character immersion and dedication, Paramvir opens up about the philosophies that drive his work and the personal milestones that shaped his path.
We explore the making of his latest film, Pitta Syapa, and the vital social message it carries regarding the loss of community bonding in our modern, social-media-focused world. Paramvir shares why he rejected the stereotypical NRI accent for his character "Micky" and how his father's early support kept him from leaving acting for a life in Canada.
Whether you're a cinema enthusiast or looking for inspiration, this conversation is a beautiful reminder of what it means to be a "Son of Soil."

ਜਦੋਂ ਸਾਨੂੰ ਇਹ ਸਮਝ ਆ ਜਾਵੇ ਕਿ ਸਾਡੀ ਮਿਹਨਤ ਅਜਾਈਂ ਜਾ ਰਹੀ ਹੈ, ਤਾਂ ਉਹ ਮਿਹਨਤ ਤੇ ਐਨਰਜੀ ਇੱਕ ਥਾਂ ਤੋਂ ਹਟਾ ਕੇ ਦੂਸਰੀ ਥਾਂ ਲਾ ਲੈਣ ਵਿੱਚ ਹੀ ਸਿਆਣਪ ਹੁੰਦੀ ਹੈ।
In a forest, two woodpecker friends set out to find food. One — proud of his experience and certain of his judgement — spots a steel utility pole with a small hole and convinces himself there is an insect inside. His friend warns him again and again. The steel is wrong, the sound is wrong, this is not a tree. But the stubborn woodpecker dismisses every word, calls his companion a coward, and keeps pecking. Narrated by Ranjodh Singh, this deeply affecting Punjabi moral story asks us a question we all need to hear.
For every Punjabi listener in Australia, Singapore and beyond — this is the story of the job you stayed in too long, the relationship that had already ended, the goal that quietly stopped making sense. We have all pecked at a steel pole and called it dedication. Ranjodh Singh's narration carries the weight of this lesson with gentleness and grace.

What is really happening behind the scenes in Punjab politics? In today's episode of Indian Updates on Radio Haanji 1674 AM, hosts Ranjodh Singh and Senior Journalist Pritam Singh Rupal go beyond the headlines to dissect a week of intense political realignment.
The episode explores the significance of the massive Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) meeting in Jalandhar, where over a thousand observers gathered to steady the party after recent high-profile defections to the BJP. We examine the strategic timing of the May 1st special assembly session — is it a sincere tribute to the working class for Labour Day, or a calculated political shield against "Operation Lotus"?

ਉਹਨੇ ਆਪਣੇ ਇਸ ਦਰਦ ਨੂੰ ਆਪਣੀ ਤਾਕਤ ਬਣਾ ਲਿਆ।In 1825, a famous painter named Samuel Morse was far from home when the news of his wife's death arrived by horseback — days after she was already buried. He never got to say goodbye. Consumed by grief and helplessness, he asked himself: how could this happen to anyone? And from that question, he made a vow that would change the world. This is the true story behind the invention of the electric telegraph and Morse code.This story is for anyone who has felt powerless in the face of loss — and wondered whether that pain means anything at all. Narrated by Ranjodh Singh, it carries a reminder that the greatest gifts to humanity are often born from the deepest wounds of the people who gave them.Kitaab Kahani is Radio Haanji 1674 AM's daily Punjabi audio story series — new stories every weekday morning, free on all platforms.Listen free at haanji.com.au

You buy rice every week. But do you know what's actually in it?
In this episode of Podcast Haanji Melbourne, host Ranjodh Singh shares the results of a recent Australian study testing over 50 packets of rice from Coles, Woolworths, and Aldi — and the findings will make you rethink everything about your weekly shop.
Here are three things you'll take away from this episode:
The Fiber Gap — 75% of supermarket rice is low in fiber, causing blood sugar spikes most families don't realise are happening at the dinner table.
The Microplastic Risk — Microwaveable rice pouches contain up to four times more microplastics than traditional rice. One easy swap can make a big difference for your family.
The Cooling Secret — Eating cooled rice is measurably healthier for your gut and blood sugar than eating it fresh. Find out why — and how to make it work in your daily routine.
Ranjodh Singh also breaks down which rice varieties are best for diabetics, heart health, and growing children — from wild rice and black rice to basmati and jasmine — and shares pro-tips on washing, soaking, and balancing your plate for maximum nutrition.
This is practical, community-focused health education — the kind your family needs.
