    ManGoa Softies

    The Grints realise they are soft, deeply unresourceful, and would almost certainly die first in a zombie apocalypse. We’ve done Indians and aliens, Indians and cowboys, and now - Indians and zombies. Triggered by the underrated Bollywood classic Go Goa Gone, they dive into memories of their own high school Goa trip featuring mango milkshakes, hotel buffets, questionable decisions, and probably less survival instincts than the actual movie.

    Cowmedy Cowboys

    The Grints unpack the cult 'Curry Western' - QuickGun Murugan. Think Austin Powers, but more Indians, more alliteration, more tension and more dosa. Meanwhile, Arnav performs his new comedy set, gets his hair touched and fails again at plugging our podcast (again). Seriously, we need to get that right. It's nostalgia mixed with Indian cowboys - what could go wrong? YouTube: ⁠⁠@BarelyBrownPod⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠@barelybrownpod⁠⁠ TikTok: ⁠⁠@barelybrownpod:⁠⁠ Rombo nandri for listening!

    Unfiltered Inglis

    The Grints go off-script in this unfiltered episode about work rants, Indian Standard Time, streamers catching strays, and why tradies might be the real heroes. They also unpack DIY culture abroad, Indians' obsession with convenience, question some uncomfortable dynamics around Indians "servitude" mentality, and somehow land on Indian cowboys and the future of Indian English.
