Carnatic vocalist TM Krishna joins Cyrus Broacha for a fascinating conversation about music, culture, and breaking traditions.

Known for challenging the conventions of classical music, TM Krishna explains why Carnatic music should not be limited to elite spaces — and why art must constantly evolve.

In this episode we discuss:

• What Carnatic music really is
• Why classical music often feels inaccessible
• The role of improvisation in Indian classical music
• Music, caste and social hierarchies
• Whether art and politics can ever be separated
• Why audiences misunderstand classical music
• How tradition and innovation can coexist

A thoughtful and wide-ranging discussion on music, culture and the future of classical art.

Welcome to Cyrus Says!

In this episode of Cock & Bull, Cyrus Broacha is joined by comedian Punit Pania and the conversation goes off the rails almost immediately.

They jump from Mumbai local train behaviour and people blasting reels in public to fake AI videos, global news confusion.

It’s messy, opinionated, and constantly going off on random tangents which is exactly how Cock & Bull works.

If you’re looking for structured debate or calm discussion, this is not that episode.
If you enjoy chaos, random opinions, and conversations that go completely off track, you’re in the right place.

And to our regular listeners, welcome back home!
