In this fifth episode of the South Asian mythology inspired TTRPG actual play, DesiQuest starring our DM (Jasmine Bhullar), and Sitara (Anjali Bhimani), Laddoo Auntie (Rekha Shankar), Murkha (Omar Najam), and Ash (Sandeep Parikh), we follow our adventurers as they escape - thanks to their dear friend’s sacrifice - from the domain of dread. Soon after, we meet Nuri (Erika Ishii), a stage manager of sorts, who ensures each year that Ringaali goes off without a hitch. How is Nuri coping with this year's crisis?! Will our adventurers ever make it to Rak Tibba?!

The Tea Kettle - DesiQuest After Show Podcast - Ep 4 (Part 2) with Persephone Valentine SNEAK PEAK

When the kettle whistles and the tea is ready, it's time for the DesiQuest after-show—and what a show it is! Omar Najam and I, Sandeep Parikh, are all cozied up inside the teapot, steaming with excitement. After every episode of DesiQuest is launched, we'll release another episode of the Tea Kettle with me and Omar and a very special guest, or guest from either behind or in front of the camera.
When spontaneity strikes, it strikes gold! Imagine our astonishment when the multi-talented Sephie, Persephone Valentine, swooped onto DesiQuest's set with less than an hour's notice, infusing our show with an unexpected twist that might just clinch us another season. We're buzzing with excitement as we unpack the chemistry between Sephie and Jasmine Bhullar the seismic shift their character brings to our story, and the laughter that ensued from a wild genie-wish discussion—six ass cheeks, anyone? Amidst our giggles, we don't forget to honor the rich cultural tapestry of the Aladdin tale that's woven into our narrative's fabric.
The stakes have never been higher, and the drama? Simply electric. We're peeling back the curtain to reveal how we crank up the tension and the trials for our beloved characters, taking cues from the riveting episodes showcasing Luis Carazo's emotional journey. As we converge our characters against a challenging adversary, we're not just crafting a story—we're crafting an experience, one that resonates deeply with you, our audience. And for those who hunger for the meatier bits of our storytelling saga—we're serving up an exclusive, in-depth continuation for our Patreon brigade. Strap in for an episode that's a heady mix of humor, heart, and a hefty dose of creative ingenuity.

The Tea Kettle - DesiQuest After Show Podcast - Episode 5 with Erika Ishii & Noxweiler Berf SNEAK PEAK

When the kettle whistles and the tea is ready, it's time for the DesiQuest after-show—and what a show it is! Omar Najam and I, Sandeep Parikh, are all cozied up inside the teapot, steaming with excitement. After every episode of DesiQuest is launched, we'll release another episode of the Tea Kettle with me and Omar and a very special guest, or guest from either behind or in front of the camera.
As we cracked open the doors after Episode 5, it was nothing short of a party where Erika Ishii and Noxweiler Berf, the creative forces behind our show's beloved Nuri and its exquisitely crafted miniatures, joined us at the mic. Their stories of meticulous brushstrokes and imaginative design had us riveted, offering a rare peek into the artistry that fuels DesiQuest. Between hearty laughs, we teased the relaunch of the ABCD podcast, a melting pot of culture and comedy that promises to tickle your funny bone and tug at your heartstrings.
Then, we wandered down the cobblestone paths of nostalgia to the halls of Fonco (Studios), a place stitched with the threads of our past. It was here, among the echoes of weddings and the clinking of glasses from celebrations past, that we found our way back to the warm embrace of familiarity. For those who've ever yearned to revisit the haunts of their memories, this chapter is a heartfelt homage. And for the insatiably curious, our Patreon is brimming with more anecdotes and secrets and the rest of this conversation continues, just a click and a pledge away.
