No matter the time of day, we feel like the station is speaking directly to its community, giving listeners not just entertainment but also a sense of identity and belonging.Intense 102.9 FM pours heart into serving both the community and its advertisers. Their vision of connecting South Asians through the power of music really shines through in everything they broadcast. If you’re in the DMV and want a station that truly “gets” South Asian culture, this is definitely the one to tune in to.A heartfelt thanks to Manish Sood and Deepa Sahani Sood for bringing this wonderful radio station to the DMV area.

Since my childhood I had ever wanted to sing in a Radio station and that could happen after I participated in the Antakshari Show 2020.!!!Manish Sood, the whole and sole director of this FM station who handles so well and beautifully planned his shows in a way that all your evenings will get entertained for sure. He has a most energetic and mesmerizing voice as a RJ, you must listen to him on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I completely recommend this app to download and all the shows the whole week. I always us and enjoy the shows..

I love this app it has music, singing , fun talks and discussion about very important topics. I was part of their Antakshari show they do every Wednesday and enjoyed it thoroughly, Though I wasn’t the winner but was fun and will always remain memorable one. The host Mr. Manish is very lively and runs the show in a very professional manner. This show took me back into nostalgic days of Anu Kapoor’s Antakshari. Mr. Manish handles this show beautifully. The sound quality was excellent and overall I give it 5 stars 😊
