The Bridge is available on the iHeart Radio app
Episode 520

ON TODAY'S SHOW

Tuesday's hour on The Bridge is Sammy's case that the actual author of the 2026 South Asian sound isn't the singer — it's the producer. Tru Skool on Diljit's Morni and Kharku. Shashwat Sachdev on Phir Se. Pritam under Lutt Putt Gaya. Gur Sidhu on Haji Mastan. AR Rahman on Sunhari Kirne. Steel Banglez on Times. Shankar Ehsaan Loy on Good For Nothing. All the way back to Bally Sagoo's Chura Liya. Sammy spins the songs and tells you who built them. Plus the film and pop culture beat: Jaya brings the Hollywood news — the White House Correspondents' Dinner, the Helena Bonham Carter exit from White Lotus, and Michael Jackson — and Anushka Arora reports from Indian cinema. Dr. Roy on Word on the Avenue, Rhianna on Diaspora Rising, and Doyeeta Das Gupta with the Artist Spotlight.
