May 18, 2026 — "The Setup — Why Dhurandhar Matters" The Bridge is available on the iHeart Radio app Episode 534 ON TODAY'S SHOW Sammy Chand's Monday show opens Dhurandhar Week — four days inside the third-highest-grossing South Asian Cinema franchise of all time. The hour plants the week's central thesis in song. Sammy opens with Diljit's Morni — №1 on last week's chart — then drops the receipts: Na De Dil Pardesi Nu, the 1995 Punjabi folk classic by Muhammad Sadiq and Ranjit Kaur. Then the modern reinterpretation back-to-back — the Dhurandhar Title Track with Hanumankind, Jasmine Sandlas, and Shashwat Sachdev — and the audience finally hears the bones underneath the franchise's biggest song. From there the hour becomes a deep listen on Shashwat Sachdev's catalog. His work runs through six of today's tracks across registers — Gehra Hua with Arijit Singh, Lutt Le Gaya with Simran Choudhary, Naal Nachna with Afsana Khan and Reble, Ramba Ho with Madhubanti Bagchi and Bappi Lahiri, and the hour-closing Ez-Ez with Diljit and Hanumankind — the same trio that built the title track. Sammy also interviews Kubbra Sait in a substantial conversation in the middle of the hour, plus the Allstars: Dr. Roy on Word On The Avenue, Meera Sharma on the Mindful Minute, Daniel Johnson from the UN, and Doyeeta Das Gupta with the Artist Spotlight today on Shashwat Sachdev himself.

	Countdown Show - May 15 - May 17	15 mai 2026	00:59:59
May 15–18, 2026 "Top 20 Countdown — Weekend Edition" The Bridge is available on the iHeart Radio app Episode 534 ON TODAY'S SHOW Sammy Chand's weekend Top 20 Countdown carries forward from a week that argued the album is back, the chart is missing, and the collaborations are the proof. Today's countdown shows what the diaspora is actually moving — and the chart story this week is a story of climbers. Diljit Dosanjh's Morni holds No1 for a second week. Sanju Rathod's Bangles — the new Marathi cut Sammy planted on Monday — debuts at No2, the highest debut of the week. Dhee's Tamil-language Vari Vari lands at No3, making the top three the most linguistically diverse it's been all year. Wazir Patar's Rabab climbs into the top ten. New entries from Kanwar Gill (From The Bay, with Fateh Doe), Sahib Samra (1 Day), and Karan Aujla (Top Fella). Sammy counts down from No20 to No1 with chart commentary, climbs, falls, and the songs the diaspora is moving most this week. The hour closes fittingly with the new No1.FEATURED MUSIC No20 Aroma — Diljit Dosanjh No19 Laiyaan — Arijit Singh No18 Wang — Ranjit Bawa No17 Na Jaaney Kyun — Midival Punditz No16 Sideways — Zayn Malik No15 Lucky Me — Jordan Sandhu No14 Ya Subah — Sameer Rahat No13 Bulletproof — King No12 Top Fella — Karan Aujla No11 Rabab — Wazir Patar No10 Eyes on Me — Sidhu Moosewala, The Kidd No9 Quality — Rawme Hooda No8 Bounce — Shubh No7 Mujhe Ye Gaana Pasand Hai — Yashraj No6 1 Day — Sahib Samra No5 From The Bay — Kanwar Gill, Fateh Doe No4 Only Mine — Darshan Raval No3 Vari Vari — Dhee No2 Bangles — Sanju Rathod No1 Morni — Diljit Dosanjh RUNDOWN 0:00 Sammy Opening 1:40 No20 Aroma — Diljit Dosanjh 4:02 Sammy 4:30 No19 Laiyaan — Arijit Singh 7:36 Sammy 7:56 No18 Wang — Ranjit Bawa 11:04 Sammy 11:42 No17 Na Jaaney Kyun — Midival Punditz 13:30 Sammy 13:46 No16 Sideways — Zayn Malik 16:34 Sammy 16:52 No15 Lucky Me — Jordan Sandhu 19:28 Sammy 19:48 No14 Ya Subah — Sameer Rahat 22:42 Sammy 23:24 No13 Bulletproof — King 25:40 Sammy 25:56 No12 Top Fella — Karan Aujla 28:52 Sammy 29:12 No11 Rabab — Wazir Patar 31:02 Sammy 31:52 No10 Eyes on Me — Sidhu Moosewala, The Kidd 33:27 Sammy 33:48 No9 Quality — Rawme Hooda 36:41 Sammy 37:10 No8 Bounce — Shubh 38:58 Sammy 39:10 No7 Mujhe Ye Gaana Pasand Hai — Yashraj 40:46 Sammy 41:02 No6 1 Day — Sahib Samra 43:36 Sammy 43:54 No5 From The Bay — Kanwar Gill, Fateh Doe 45:50 Sammy 46:34 No4 Only Mine — Darshan Raval 49:54 Sammy 50:10 No3 Vari Vari — Dhee 53:20 Sammy 53:38 No2 Bangles — Sanju Rathod 56:22 Sammy 56:52 No1 Morni — Diljit Dosanjh Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-bridge-by-sammy-chand--6650619/support.

In his closing remarks, Sammy makes the case from inside the rooms — what an East-West collaboration actually costs, why each one is an act of trust, and why the songs that live in that math are the future of this music business. Plus Dr. Roy on Word On The Avenue and Doyeeta Das Gupta with the Artist Spotlight.

	May 13, 2026 — “The State of the South Asian Hip Hop Space”	13 mai 2026	00:59:59
May 13, 2026 — “The State of the South Asian Hip Hop Space” The Bridge is available on the iHeart Radio app Episode 531 ON TODAY’S SHOW Sammy Chand’s Wednesday show centers on a state-of-the-union conversation about South Asian hip-hop — and who really built the global movement. The thesis: Mumbai and Delhi’s scenes have mass, but the Punjabi machine kept the pipeline hot, and now the breakouts — Hanumankind at the front of the line — are going global entirely on their own terms. The diaspora conversation, Sammy argues, still under-tells the story. The hour is structured like a map. Mumbai opens the show with Yashraj’s Mujhe Ye Gaana Pasand Hai, setting the tone for where the new wave lives. Delhi carries the middle run through Seedhe Maut’s Pickup, Jadu by Fateh Doe and Mickey Singh, Uniyal’s Vartmaan, and Total by Rawmee Hooda — a sequence built to show the underground becoming the mainstream. Punjab and diaspora bridges arrive with Sidhu Moosewala and The Kidd on The Last Ride, Mani Longia and Fateh Doe on Hot Boys, and Sultan’s Challa. At 40:16, Sammy sits down with E The First for a 6-minute feature interview on the state of the South Asian hip-hop space — who’s doing the work, who’s getting the credit, and what the diaspora conversation keeps missing. The final stretch lands the thesis: Rawal’s Eiffel Tower, Doyeeta Das Gupta’s Artist Spotlight, Hanumankind’s Big Dawgs, and Karmacy’s Music Knows closing the hour with the argument already made. Plus Dr. Roy stops by with Word On The Avenue, DJ Geet drops into Dhurandhar, and Doyeeta Das Gupta delivers the Artist Spotlight.

May 12, 2026 — "Ground Zero: Kanwar Gill" The Bridge is available on the iHeart Radio app Episode 530 ON TODAY'S SHOW Sammy Chand's Tuesday show centers on a long-form conversation with Kanwar Gill. Sammy makes the case that the canonical history of Punjabi hip-hop is wrong — it skips a step, and that step lives in California, and his name is Kanwar Gill. The hour is a full Kanwar retrospective: his solo cut Aaj Kal Dhe Mundhey (which Sammy produced), his collaboration with Jazzy B on Rambo, his work with Fateh Doe on From The Bay, and a deep cut closer with Bunita Sawhney on Aashiqui. Sammy interviews Kanwar about how it all started — when he first heard hip-hop and decided to rap in Punjabi, what the recording infrastructure looked like in early-90s California, what audience he was making the music for, and what he thought when Bohemia broke out a decade later. Around the conversation, the hour also brings Mani Longia and Fateh Doe on Hot Boys, Sidhu Moosewala and The Kidd on Eyes On Me, Azaad 4 Life's Roses and Blood, Otaal's Saun Di Jhadi, Shubh's Baller, Jassi Gosal and Jagan Randhawa on Safeway, YoYo Honey Singh's Phurr, Karmacy's Blood Brothers (Sammy's own group, with Sammy on the track), and Divine's Jungli Sher with Sez On The Beat. Plus Neesh stops by from The Garage Mahal with a preview of his show, Dr. Roy on Word On The Avenue, and Doyeeta Das Gupta with the Artist Spotlight.

May 11, 2026 — "The Chart We Don't Have" The Bridge is available on the iHeart Radio app Episode 529 ON TODAY'S SHOW Sammy Chand's Monday show opens the week by naming the problem the South Asian music industry hasn't wanted to talk about — we don't have a chart. No transparent, weekly, trusted ranking of what's actually moving. And now Billboard is on its way to India, which could be the moment that changes — if they get it right. Sammy makes the case for what a real chart needs and points out that until somebody builds one honestly, the closest thing to it is the Top 20 he counts down every Friday on this show. The hour spans the genre's geography: Diljit's Morni opens the show, carrying over from the weekend countdown's No1, then new music from Marathi singer Sanju Rathod (Bangles) and Tamil singer Dhee (Vari Vari) — showing the chart problem isn't just Hindi-Punjabi. Darshan Raval's Only Mine, Kanwar Gill and Fateh Doe's From the Bay (a tease into tomorrow's interview), Yashraj's Mujhe Ye Gaana Pasand Hai, Chani Nattan / Inderpal Moga / Miss Pooja on Canadian Dream, Phir Se from Arijit and Shashwat Sachdev, Karan Aujla, OAFF and Savera, Rashmeet Kaur, and more. Daniel Johnson stops by from the UN with today's news. Plus Dr. Roy on Word On The Avenue, Meera Sharma with the Mindful Minute, and Doyeeta Das Gupta with the Artist Spotlight.

Diljit Dosanjh, AP Dhillon, Sid Sriram. The best have graced that desert stage.

Whether true or not, Sammy makes the case that Diljit was always the inevitable choice — his wholesome, cross-generational appeal to the diaspora made him the only artist who could carry that moment the way it needed to be carried. Sammy closes with a statement about the two Punjabi artists who can fill any room, in any city, for any age: Diljit Dosanjh and Satinder Sartaaj. The numbers back it up.
