The Zarna Garg Family Podcast
Zarna Garg
Family dinner table talk is dead. The new hangout for families is a shared WhatsApp message, it's a YouTube link, it's a forwarded TikTok. Join me in my new living room on The Zarna Garg Family Podcast, with my family members and other guests, as we explore modern life's most pressing issues like a modern family - through our own podcast.

We Can't Respect Each Other's Time
No one teaches you how to build a business with your family. We fight, we talk over each other, we take things too personally, and most times, we aren’t even on the same team. Tune into this very raw and real episode of the frustration and drama of building a career around family.

Secrets We Kept From Our Parents
The boys smuggled girls into their parents’ apartment, Brij drove without permission, and Shalabh somehow had the nerve to call Zarna an “ABSENTEE mom” despite not changing a single diaper or knowing where his kids are for the last 26 years.
This chaotic spinoff is the episode everybody was waiting for. We’re spilling every secret the kids hid from their parents… and every secret we hid from each other in our marriage. There is yelling. There are hurt feelings. Someone might pack a bag.

How to Launch a Second Act in Life - Zarna Garg x Washington Post Podcasts
From starting a tomato sauce company to launching matchmaking services, Zarna Garg’s entrepreneurial spirit has always been on display. But when daughter Zoya Garg dragged her to an open-mic event and introduced her mother to the world of stand-up comedy, the older Garg seemed skeptical.
Fast-forward six years later. Now, Zarna Garg has streaming comedy specials, a best-selling book and millions of followers on social media.
Host Elahe Izadi spoke with Zarna and Zoya at The Washington Post’s Global Women’s Summit. Before a live audience, the three explore Zarna’s journey to finding comedy, the changing face of the industry on social media, and how it’s never too late to launch a second act in life.
