  • Summary

  • Audible presents MAD MOMMAS, an Audible Original. Written by Anu Singh Choudhary and narrated by Richa Anirudh, the 8-part Audible Original Series MAD MOMMAS captures bittersweet realities of four women at different stages of motherhood who multitask through marriage, career, kids, family, life, and the Corona crisis. This story is narrated from the point of view of a successful TV Anchor who has just become a mother. As she takes us through her own struggles, we also get a sneak peek into the lives of a stay-at-home Mum who gave up on a flourishing practice as a Doctor to raise her kids; a psychotherapist and mother of teen who ‘specialises’ in Mommy counseling and a grandmother who is a health & discipline freak. The central theme of this series also establishes how ‘motherhood’ very naturally becomes a community where women come together unknowingly for each other, while fighting their own lone battles. This fictional audio drama series unravels many untouched aspects of the lives of urban women through secrets they fear to share openly: insecurities, professional & domestic struggles, and the tug of between 'what-should-be' and 'what-I-want'.

Poor story

the first story itself was a dud, the end is not what you expect and quite unnecessary.

Reminded me of Radio days

The story and the performance by Richa reminded me of the radio days of yesteryears when there was no TV and we looked forward to listening episodes week after week, completely immersed and feeling the emotions as if experiencing the character first hand in our lives. Well done. I look forward to discovering and listening many more.
