গল্পঘরগল্প

Bangla golpo and Bengali audio stories for night listening.

You know the drill. It is 11pm, lights off, and you want a proper bhuter golpo in your ears, not a random video rabbit hole. ShunoGolpo is a database of Bengali audio stories built for listening: every bangla golpo filed with its author, narrator, genre, duration, audio source and series info, horror first because that is what Bengali audio search actually wants. I am also building a podcast-style Golpo player with offline downloads and a sleep timer, so the story stops when you do. Made for night listeners in Bangladesh and West Bengal, and for homesick Bangladeshis in New York, Saudi Arabia, Dubai, London, Manchester and Kuwait who fall asleep to the voices of home.
