• জনগণমন-অধিনায়ক জয় হে - I love this rendition of the national anthem sung by eminent Indian singers. The song, by Tagore, is in highly Sanskritic Bangla, so it's comprehensible to Hindi speakers (etc) and is often sung with Hindi pronunciation. It's interesting to read the Bangla and hear the mapping to Hindi.
• প্যারোডি লিখছে বিধাতা - A biting satirical song based on জনগণমন.
• Tareque and Catherine Masud Interview - An interview with a Bangladeshi filmmaking couple.
• শেখ মুজিবুর রহমানের ৭ই মার্চের ঐতিহাসিক ভাষণ - A speech by Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, leader of the Awami League, on the eve of Bangladesh's war of independence.
• কোন সাধনে মিলবে রে তোর পরম ধন - A Sylheti song with an agnostic theme.
