I started this YouTube channel to discuss (mostly in Bengali, seldom in English) wide range of topics pertaining to Bengal and Bengali people. The discussions are kept at an informal level (a.k.a. Adda in Bengali). If you’re wondering about the name of the channel, please visit the College Street Coffee House and explore its connection with Adda 😉
Our show is also available on various podcast platforms (in audio only format):
