About this episode
Cyrus Broacha sits down with comedian–writer–legend Ashish Shakya for a full-blown chaotic episode.
From AIB nostalgia to midlife crisis, India’s obsession with paparazzi, Pakistan’s politics, China fear, chicken-piece riots at weddings, pigeons, sports, influencers, and everything else wrong (and funny) about the world.
