We are lucky to have a wide wide pallet to choose from when it comes to Bollywood directors and storytelling styles. We have something for everyone. And in that spirit we decided to talk about some of India's directors and we brought on an up and coming director to do so - Divyank Arur along with our pandas ofcourse.

Remember watching literally ANY heist movie and seeing a nerdy hacker man "get into" systems and mess around with security? Well most of that hacking is BULLCRAP. Turns out if someone wanted to get you, it can be relatively simple. Watch us feel real dumb as our Panda pal and cyber security specialist Srushti Iyer takes us through the massive and looney toons like difference between reel and real cyber crime!

The freedom struggle was a traumatic period for India. And dark times are often the most fertile bed for mysteries and legends and for us Subhas Chandra Bose was easily the biggest mystery of all. His quest for a revolution, nomadic life, Austrian "wife" and ultimately his questionable demise, is all fuel for this exploratory conspiracy episode. We have a real special Panda pal with us, Rohan - History Buff and Conspiracy aficionado, watch as Anurag and Rohan dive into this realm of intrigue and mystery.

Serial killers are terrifying, but what do they really tell us about who we are as humans. What do they reveal about how we have grown and evolved into the dominant life force that runs the planet? Most importantly, are all serial killers dumb enough to get caught? Jump into this rather sinister rabbit hole with Anurag and Akanksha as they explore the Indian serial killers. Happy nightmares! And don’t forget to lock your doors =P 

Are there any serial killers that you think we should have added to this list? Mention them in the comments and tell us why they got you interested.

Take a deep breath, you have arrived at Station Relaxation. So time time to take a load off and talk to some panda pals.

Don’t worry this is not an alarmist podcast. It’s a take a chill pill podcast. So chill out and join this casual conversation with Soumya and Anurag.

Sarabhai VS Sarabhai was probably the best thing to come out Hindi TV for a while. But that's not true, remember Jaspal Bhatti's sketch show? That was pretty amazing too. Yet somehow we changed gears and arrived at the Kapil Show and Tarak Mehta. But is it possible that comedy is like fashion? Cyclic in nature and maybe even a little predictable? Find out what Soumya and Ramanujan think of the whole deal!

Superstitions have earned a bed rep recently (and for good reason).

Watch Anurag and Akanksha as they dig up the past (and maybe some aloos) and ride that potato wave that swept the world.

Let’s spare a thought for Harry’s classmates. Man those kids went through a LOT. All because there was this one lanky specky boy who was always up to something. The more we thought about this, the more we couldn’t help ourselves. ALL of us know that one kid who ruins everything and for the kids in Harry’s batch - it was HIM. Akanksha and Soumya talk about all things cursed and strangely enough, probability makes an appearance.

For eons the only to career option presented to Indian kids was Doctor ya Engineer. No scope to be anything else. As a country we pour resources into Engineering colleges and proudly co-opt all the Indian origin engineers that make it to the top rungs of Microsoft and Google. For a country so Engineering obsessed, do we really put it the effort to teach it well? Do our colleges create an environment of innovation? Do we inspire greatness or are we aiming for mediocrity. Follow Ramanujan as he takes us all into the world he experienced. 

This is subject that a lot of you will care about and resonate with. So let us know what you think in the comments.

Govinda is synonymous with one thing – Good Times! When you watched a Govinda movie it was never about the plot or performance. It was always about Govinda.

But what made him so awesome? Would you watch a Govinda movie today? It’s time to jump into the world of Govinda with Ramanujan and Soumya. Let the bizarro magic of Govinda take control.

Remember when Raj dangled a bra in Simran’s face to hit on her? And Raj (SRK) is still considered one of the most romantic heroes of all time. We discuss him and whole bunch of other romantic leads to figure out once and for all, if these are romantic movies or actually well disguised horror films whose heroes belong in jail. Jail seems too harsh? let’s just ask our awesome Panda Pal Namrata. A lawyer and lover of Bollywood, she brings the facts to our general sense of disbelief! #ValentinesDaySpecial

The commercials we remember seem to follow no logic. We remember some for their over the top emotionality, some for the laughs, others for the visuals but most of all for the Jingles.

What do you need to be recognized as an inventor. A brave heart (yes), an idea (sure), an invention (duh) and I guess you need to survive the interaction with your invention too. Turns out there are a number of inventors across history who didn’t pass that last bit. Some of these inventions have incredible promise and to be honest, this rather grim sounding subject is actually quite inspirational! Well we definitely enjoyed this one, hope you did too!

They are cooler, weirded and edgier than you remember and that’s a panda promise. Follow Soumya and Ramanujan down this glorious rabbit hole to find out… how did Son Pari actually end!?

We love to rock and roll, especially when it’s about wonky alien theories and obscure information. In this Padhaku Panda episode, we are about to reveal some FACTS about India’s monolithical history that are as bizarre as they are useless. But damn it if they aren’t freaking hilarious! Do you know why Indian statues have erect penises?

We do. And we are dying to tell you! Tune in to Nerd out!

Ever wondered if animals plot our doom. After today’s Padhaku Panda episode you may never look at Sparrows, Goats, Mongoose, Emus, or Cats the same way. These seemingly harmless animals have humiliated armies, destroyed populations, shamed governments and just overall had a jolly good time rubbing our faces in the fact that if we really went to war with them… we are probably gonna lose. And that fact is as hilarious as it is horrifying!

Tulsi’s unwavering morals, Anurag Basu’s unsurprising helplessness and of course the unforgettable Komolika *Nikaaaaaa* (come on you heard that in your head too) are practically legend. But what do they have to do with Walt Disney classics? Turns out, A LOT! Don’t believe us? We promise we will have you convinced by the end of the show. This episode really does have it all, suspense, drama, gasps, and somehow IT programming and game show all rolled in one.

Ekta Kapoor’s shows, characters and career has been discussed and reported on endlessly. But there are some aspects of her brilliance we zeroed in on that might need further exploration. If you want to know what connects @ALTBalaji, @Disney and the “Czarina” of television, #EktaKapoor, you gotta Tune in to Nerd out!
