  • E23 - Iran, Israel, and America: Their War, Our Fuel Prices
    Mar 27 2026

    In this episode of Kalakki Podcast, we break down the Iran-Israel-USA conflict in a simple, honest way where we talk about what each side wants, how the Strait of Hormuz and oil routes affect the rest of the world, why fuel prices react to these tensions, and how ordinary people end up feeling the impact of decisions made far above them.


    We also get into Iran’s proxy network, Israel’s nuclear ambiguity, America’s long interventionist history, and the bigger question underneath all of it: when powerful countries clash, who really pays the price?

  • E22 - United, Liverpool, Arsenal: A Peaceful Episode That Definitely Wasn’t
    Dec 1 2025

    Four of us sat down with the vague intention of having a “calm” conversation about football.

    One United fan, one Liverpool fan, and two Arsenal fans tried to make sense of the season so far, and we ended up doing what rival fans always do: defending the indefensible and pretending our clubs are less chaotic than they actually are.

    Across the episode we bounce through form, bottling, referees, transfers, nostalgia, and a whole lot of nonsense that only makes sense if you’ve ever been stuck in a group chat during matchday.

    Bad takes, loud opinions, half-baked predictions, and the occasional moment of wisdom that no one respects. We jump between who’s bottling what, whose season is a lie, who’s delusional, and why we keep supporting clubs that stress us out for free.

    If you like chaotic football discussion and friends talking rubbish with full confidence, you’ll enjoy this one.

  • E21 - Greek and Hindu Gods: More Alike Than You Think
    Jun 20 2025

    Zeus and Indra...

    Achilles and Karna...

    Trojan War and the Kurukshetra War...

    What are in common between these 2 different worlds?

    In this episode of Kalakki, we explore the fascinating parallels between Greek and Hindu mythology — two ancient traditions that, despite being worlds apart, share strikingly similar stories of gods, floods, fire, epic wars, and immortality.


    Inspired by Stephen Fry’s Mythos, this episode takes you on a journey across time and geography — from Olympus to Kailasa — uncovering how different cultures answered the same big questions: Who holds power? What happens when mortals defy the divine? And why are the gods… so much like us?


    Whether you're a mythology nerd or just curious about the echoes between East and West, this episode is for you.
