As Bryan Johnson walks out of a podcast, Pocket FM takes a fun dig at it
Audio series platform Pocket FM is turning up the heat on India’s podcasting scene with a cheeky take on the “real noise” in the industry. Drawing inspiration from tech entrepreneur Bryan Johnson’s much-publicised exit from a popular podcast—citing air pollution as his reason—Pocket FM is calling out another kind of pollution: subpar content.
In a market where podcasts are often making headlines for all the wrong reasons, the platform is questioning the quality of discourse. “Big names, bigger egos, but what about the content?”, the company teased in its latest Instagram Reel, which playfully critiques how some of the country’s most popular podcasts have been reduced to internet memes.
Positioning itself as the antidote to this trend, Pocket FM is offering an alternative—engaging, immersive, and high-quality storytelling. As the world’s #1 audio series platform, it promises listeners edge-of-the-seat dramas, thrilling mysteries, and epic narratives that go beyond clickbait conversations.
“Why settle for ‘meh’ when you can experience something truly extraordinary?” the company stated, urging listeners to move beyond the noise and dive into richer, more meaningful audio experiences.
The platform’s latest Instagram Reel, which pokes fun at the current podcasting landscape, is sparking conversations online with close to a million views already.

With this bold move, Pocket FM is making it clear: when it comes to great storytelling, it doesn’t just talk—it delivers.
