The Art & Soul of Guftagoo Interviewing

The Art & Soul of Guftagoo: An Interactive Masterclass with Irfan

Join Syed Mohd Irfan - the acclaimed broadcast journalist, founder-host of Guftagoo (India's longest-running uninterrupted celebrity talk show), TEDx speaker, and one of the country's original podcasters - for an intimate, 90-minute offline masterclass.

For over 15 years, Guftagoo has been a rare space for meaningful, unhurried, and soul-revealing conversations with icons from cinema, literature, arts, and beyond - from Gulzar and Naseeruddin Shah to Shabana Azmi, Mrinal Sen, and many more. Through nearly 600 episodes (and counting via the podcast channel Listen with Irfan too), Irfan has mastered the art of long-form dialogue that goes beyond headlines to uncover authentic human stories.

In this exclusive live session, Irfan opens up about his remarkable journey: the challenges and triumphs of pioneering deep, authentic conversations in Indian media; the craft of asking questions that reveal the soul; building trust with diverse personalities; navigating silences, tough moments, and real connections; and the evolving world of podcasting and thoughtful journalism.

This is not just a talk - it's an interactive masterclass designed for those who genuinely want to learn:

• Aspiring journalists, podcasters, and interviewers

• Storytellers and content creators seeking depth

• Fans of meaningful dialogue who admire Irfan's contribution

Expect candid insights, real-life anecdotes from behind the mic, practical tips you can apply immediately, and plenty of time for your questions in a live Q&A.

Whether you're building your own voice in media or simply value the power of guftagoo, this is a rare chance to learn directly from the master who has kept the flame of thoughtful conversation alive for over a decade and a half.
