MUMBAI: On World Radio Day, which falls on 13 February i.e. tomorrow, The Radio Festival will put forth a fabulous radio get-together. Organized by Radio Mewat founder Archana Kapoor, it is the second year of the fest, which has more in store. MY FM India’s popular RJ Kartik will speak in an intriguing story telling session at The Radio Festival.

I am pretty happy that I will share the stage with the rock stars of radio Sayema, Nitin and Saurabh,” he told.
He further continues, “One thing that I want to tell everyone is that radio is going to be forever, it has a long life. People are saying that radio ke din gaye, but I am saying that it’s still there. The biggest advantage of radio is that you can talk about what you feel. Radio gives you all the liberty.”
While RJ Kartik gives a message to all your listeners, “Kar ke kuch dikhao aisa ki duniya karna chahe aapke jaisa. Fans are like my family only and radio is a beautiful medium, keep enjoying it. It’s not made to upset people but it’s a happy medium.”
