Premium audiobooks in Pashto, Dari and English. Anyone can become a narrator and earn from home — with the opportunity especially open to women, who are often locked out of traditional workplaces.
Bulbul is a privately-held company running an audiobook platform for Pashto, Dari and English-speaking communities.
Anyone can become a narrator and earn from home. The opportunity matters most for women, who are often locked out of traditional workplaces — but it’s open to everyone: students, retirees, anyone with a phone and a story to tell.
Audiobooks meet listeners where they are. No literacy required — just press play. Books on health, education, religion, mental wellbeing and novels, in three languages.
Anyone can become a narrator on Bulbul — students, retirees, part-time workers, professionals between jobs. The opportunity matters most for women, who in our region are often locked out of traditional offices. Bulbul turns a phone into a paycheck.
Audiobooks turn cooking, walking, working and commuting into time you spend learning. For women whose days are spent on home and family, and for the millions in our region who’ve never had a chance to read, listening is how they get back into education.
The app interface and the audiobook catalog are both fully available in English, Pashto and Dari. Listeners switch with one tap.
Bulbul is free to download. Find an audiobook you love or upload one that should exist.
