What it plays
Board the Asiad and the radio comes up in Marathi (मराठी) — starting with Radha Hi Bawari by Swapnil Bandodkar. On the road it can also tune Marathi Classics — the one live band in this language that reliably streams. Open the Marathi playlist on YouTube Music ↗
Where it runs
Mumbai to Panaji — about 530 km of it, with the scenery, the light and the weather of the 1980s to drive through.
