Cyrus Says

What happens when Cyrus Broacha sits down with Shamik Chakrabarti?
Zero structure. Maximum chaos.
In this episode of Cock & Bull, things spiral (fast) from stand-up comedy to Bollywood propaganda, box office logic, internet algorithms, and everything in between. One minute it’s comedy insights, the next it’s cricket, politics, or a completely random tangent that somehow still makes sense.
Expect:
Brutally honest takes on Bollywood & pop culture

The reality of stand-up comedy & writing

Social media, algorithms & why we’re all slightly doomed

Generational quirks like the infamous “millennial pause”

And classic Cyrus-style chaos that refuses to stay on topic

Also featuring Shamik’s stand-up special “Despite Appearances” a story-driven set told across 7 chapters, blending personal stories with sharp observational humour.

In this episode of Cyrus Says, Cyrus is joined by producer, writer and showrunner Adi Shankar for a conversation that goes from Kolkata to Hollywood, anime, identity, accents, and the future of animation.
Adi talks about growing up across countries, how constantly moving shaped the way he sees people and storytelling, and how he went from a credit card job to building a career in film and animation. He also gets into why anime for adults felt like a missing space in the West, how he spotted that gap early, and what it took to help push that format forward.
The conversation also dives into Devil May Cry, adapting video game worlds into their own screen universes, and how he thinks about storytelling in a time when everyone’s attention span is fighting for survival.
It’s funny, chaotic and full of unexpected detours, which is exactly how Cyrus Says works.

Welcome to Cyrus Says!
In this episode, Cyrus is joined by Swanand Kirkire - writer, lyricist, singer, actor, National Award winner, and basically one of those people who seem to be good at everything.
They talk about his journey from Indore to NSD to Mumbai, the early struggle years, writing for film and theatre, working with people like Sudhir Mishra, Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Rajkumar Hirani, and how singing happened almost by accident.
There’s also a lot on acting, getting typecast as the father, his new OTT show Band Wale, and the strange, funny, unpredictable route his career has taken over the years.
And yes, Swanand also sings live in the episode, which is reason enough to watch.
It’s warm, funny, slightly chaotic, and full of stories you’ll want to stay for.

There’s gym arguments, random tech unboxing, unsolicited life advice, and just enough roasting to make this feel less like a podcast and more like something that should’ve stayed at home.
Cyrus tries to stay in control.That doesn’t last very long!
