Bali talks about discovering Eminem in school, his early attempts at making rap music, and how he eventually found his own style in the Indian hip-hop scene.

What happens when a comedian’s protest slogan starts being repeated by politicians?

Shreyas Manohar joins Cyrus Broacha on Cock & Bull to share how getting bumped off a protest’s performance lineup led him to take his material to the streets and watch it reach Mamata Banerjee and Tejashwi Yadav.

They discuss Gen Z’s role in the protests, political disagreements at home, Imran Khan’s detention, police action and why celebrities hesitate to speak out. Cyrus also considers joining a protest, provided it starts at 4 a.m. and finishes before his workout.

Along the way: Arnab Goswami, Govinda’s gun incident, Shah Rukh Khan offering Cyrus his phone number, and why cricket heroes shouldn’t be defined by borders.

What happens when a guy who's scared of horror ends up playing a paranormal investigator?

On this episode of Cyrus Says, actor Karan Tacker joins Cyrus Broacha for a conversation that goes from career struggles and family businesses to ghosts, haunted places and everything in between.

Karan opens up about growing up in Mumbai, working in his father's garment business, and how the 2008 recession forced his family to shut down their retail stores. He talks about finding his way into acting, landing his first advertising campaign, making it big on television, and eventually taking a chance on OTT with Special Ops and Khakee.

Welcome to Cyrus Says!

On this episode of Cyrus Says, sports journalist and author Suprita Das joins Cyrus Broacha to talk about her new book 'Women in Blue' and the incredible rise of Indian women’s cricket.

Suprita looks back at a time when women cricketers had to share equipment, arrange money for tours and play with almost no television coverage, sponsorship or public attention. She explains how pioneers like Diana Edulji, Mithali Raj and Jhulan Goswami helped build the foundation for the generation we know today.

The conversation moves through the major turning points for the sport, Harmanpreet Kaur’s iconic 171 in the 2017 World Cup, India reaching the 2020 final, the arrival of the Women’s Premier League, and finally India’s 2025 World Cup win that changed the visibility of the women’s game.

Suprita also talks about Smriti Mandhana, Jemimah Rodrigues, Harmanpreet Kaur, the young girls now entering cricket academies across India, and why women’s cricket should no longer have to be constantly compared with the men’s game.

And because this is Cyrus Says, there’s also a detour into Rahul Dravid’s famous MTV Bakra prank, which Suprita admits she was definitely not happy about, so enjoy!
