In this special weekend episode celebrating the birth anniversary of the most legendary Indian playback singer Lata Mangeshkar (1929 - 2022), Komolika talks about the rich musical legacy of the Nightingale of India, and how her music has also been created into a queer legacy as she influenced the interiormost emotions and sensibilities of queer men and trans feminine South Asians especially, across the world.

This is also the first episode of a series within the podcast, called Mother - covering women icons of the Indian film industry who have been the inspiration and heart of Queer people.
