Rabindranath Tagore was a great polymath who is considered to be one of India's greatest poets. The episode one of my podcast series on Rabindranath Tagore and his poems, focuses on his life and poetic influences. It includes a discussion on his childhood, his upbringing, his inspirations and literary influences. The episode gives an insight into the subject matter of his poetry. Enjoy :) Thank you.
