AND WITH THAT THE 2025 SEASON CAME TO AN END!

The year is over. Preparation is zero. In this spectacularly unprepared Cock & Bull year-ender, Cyrus Broacha and Kunal Vijaykar attempt to look back at the biggest moments of the year — armed with ChatGPT, fading memory, and absolute confidence. From the Mahakumbh madness, influencer outrage, comedy controversies, elections, wars, airline chaos, dog rulings, tariffs, Bigg Boss–level politics, and Messi’s surreal India visit, to a heroic inability to remember who won the Chess World Cup — this episode is a masterclass in talking loudly while knowing very little. There are opinions. There are arguments. There are facts… occasionally. This is not analysis. This is Cock & Bull. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why Cruelty to Animals Is a Mental Health Issue | ft. Dr Shefali Batra

What makes some people fear animals… and others harm them? In this powerful and brutally honest episode of Cyrus Says, Cyrus Broacha is joined by psychiatrist Dr Shefali Batra to explore the psychology of empathy, animal cruelty, fear, rage, and conditioning. From stray dogs and animal feeders being attacked, to disturbing real-life cases of cruelty, this conversation dives deep into the human mind — asking uncomfortable but necessary questions: Is cruelty a lack of empathy? Are we conditioning children to fear animals? Can empathy be taught? And why do some people feel nothing at all? Blending humour, outrage, science, and compassion, Cyrus and Dr Batra discuss mirror neurons, childhood conditioning, media bias, mental health, and what it truly means to coexist — with animals and with each other. This episode is not just a conversation — it’s a call for empathy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Expect sharp legal insights, uncomfortable truths, Bigg Boss chaos, and Cyrus doing what he does best — pushing buttons with humour. This is not courtroom drama.

What It Means to Represent a Country | Ambassador of Morocco Speaks

What does it really mean to represent a country? In this wide-ranging and deeply human conversation, H.E. Mohamed Maliki, Ambassador of the Kingdom of Morocco, reflects on a lifetime in diplomacy — from childhood memories and family sacrifices to surviving violence, navigating geopolitics, and building friendships across cultures. We talk about Morocco, India, Pakistan, Cameroon, the unseen pressures of diplomatic service, and why dialogue matters more than ever in a fractured world. The Ambassador also shares personal philosophies on success, family, discipline, food, culture, leadership, and what truly matters in life. This episode is not about headlines — it’s about human values behind global relations. 📘 Based on his book “What If… Why Not?” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“America also needed Pakistan if they were gonna invade Afghanistan” ft. Nikhil Ravi

The 26/11 Mumbai attacks are often remembered as three horrific days in November 2008. But according to Nikhil Ravi, co-author of Perfect Storm, they were the outcome of over 60 years of history, policy, ideology, and state-sponsored terror. In this deeply researched and unsettling conversation, Cyrus Broacha and Nikhil Ravi trace the roots of 26/11 all the way back to Partition (1947) — examining how Pakistan’s doctrine of asymmetric warfare evolved, how global powers played their part, and how terror organisations like Lashkar-e-Taiba became highly professionalised machines. Anchored by insights from Prabhakar Aloka, former Special Director of the Intelligence Bureau, this episode goes beyond outrage and emotion to focus on context, systems, and uncomfortable truths. This is not an easy listen — but it is an essential one. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Thank you to the amazing team and of course to Cyrus his repartee and ability to crack jokes when least expecting it. The cherry on the cake is despite him being disgusted with the world he is always updated with the news! My number one (and only) thing to listen to while working out. I’ve now discovered it’s hard for me to workout if there’s no podcast, so, great job! Never stop🫡😄👍🏼
Do it! (Not)

Cyrus Says - A podcast where a bunch of elitist south-Bombay types pretend to be leftist and talk about important issues such as parking, two-wheeler menaces and the oh-so-tough life of English-speaking comedians. In other words, it’s absolutely brilliant and I tune in every time!
