"A shape-shifting force of art, embodying fluid identity, resistance, and transformation.”
Podcasts
Podcasting for me was never about building a perfect platform. It began with curiosity and the need to hold conversations that often don’t find space elsewhere. From Rangula Rattnam to Drag Radio, from Drag Me to Heaven to now SAS NET WERK, each podcast came from a different community, a different question, and a different moment in my life. I never tried to organize them into one neat system because every identity deserves its own space to speak. This carousel is a small reflection on that journey and on how podcasting, in its own way, has felt like rebellion and performance at the same time.

Rangula Rattnam
Rangularattnam is a vibrant exploration of art, culture, and identity through a distinctly regional and queer lens. Rooted in Telugu sensibilities, the series creates space for conversations around creativity, lived experiences, and the intersections of tradition and modernity, often highlighting voices and narratives that remain underrepresented.

Drag me to Heaven
Drag Me to Heaven, the focus shifts toward drag as both performance and philosophy. This series delves into the layered realities of drag culture—particularly within the Indian context—exploring themes of identity, transformation, and resistance, while also documenting the stories, struggles, and inspirations of drag artists and performers.
SAS Net Werk
Sas Net Werk takes on a more intimate and conversational tone, functioning as a digital space for dialogue and connection. Through this series, Patruni engages with artists, thinkers, and community members, weaving discussions around performance, queerness, and personal journeys, while building a sense of network and shared creative exchange.
