S4E3 What really happened to Ronald Doe with Cyrus Naderpour
Hosts Cat Alvarado, Dwayne Perkins, and Koji Steven Sakai take listeners on a blend of spine-tingling paranormal experiences and the lighthearted journey of comedian Cyrus Naderpour. The episode delves into chilling tales of possible possessions, poltergeist activity, and the unnerving story of Roland Doe, the real-life inspiration behind "The Exorcist." Alongside these eerie narratives, Cyrus shares his transition from a lucrative digital advertising career to the unpredictable world of stand-up comedy, overcoming cultural expectations, and finding humor in the supernatural. The episode balances the darker aspects of the unseen with comedic relief and intriguing discussions on the crossroads of science, culture, and the paranormal.

Cyrus co-created and produced FREAKSHOW, a successful variety show that ran for six years. With fire eaters, burlesque acts, stunt performers, and drag acts, it captivated audiences nationwide. Cyrus closed each show with his standup comedy, earning accolades and filling venues like Improvs across the country, Levity Live, and even having a Vegas residency.
Expanding into digital content, Cyrus’s in-your-face reaction videos and brash comedic style has gained over 80k+ followers on Instagram and 50k+ on TikTok. He has teamed up with internet sensation Franklin Marshall III to launch “The Franklin and Cyrus Podcast.” The podcast just completed its third season and is taking the internet by storm, receiving rave reviews and building a rapidly growing fan base.
