Another exclusive and exotic feature offered by Aarpoy is that it premieres audio from the two extreme areas of Kerala, from the densely populated forest areas of Idukki to the densely populated city in Kerala, Mattancherry.

Another amusing program featured by this Malayalam podcast is a special interview with a local underworld done by Mattancherry.
