FOMO Sapiens

Hello all, the FOMO Sapiens are back one last time this season, to have a rather lengthy discussion on how they see the World T20 panning out as we now have our Super 12 sides for the main stage. Moderator-in-Chief Raghav Talwar is joined by Abhinav, Duttnath, and Pavit as the four try to unravel the mysteries each team holds and who has the best chances of making the semis and eventually lifting the coveted trophy. Tune in to listen and if you like our content, then share it with your friends! We're always looking to improve and are open to feedback as we look to do more episodes next season.

The FOMO Sapiens are back and for the first time, we aren't talking cricket. Sounded strange to us as well! So what is Australian Rules Football? No, it isn't rugby. In this episode, Raghav Talwar chats with Sudip Chakraborty, Founder of AFL India, to find out more about this high-octane, high-scoring sport that grips the attention of millions of Aussies every winter. They explore the basics of the game, the make-up of the Australian Football League (or AFL, the most-watched sporting tournament in Australia), and the work that has been done by his foundation to further the cause of the sport in India. Why AFL now? The Grand Final of the 2021 season is going to take place this Saturday. Melbourne, the Establishment club who haven't won a premiership since 1964, will take on the Western Bulldogs, a scrappy working-class club who enjoyed their own fairy tale in 2016. To learn more, check out this video, as well as this Amazon Prime docuseries for a fly-on-the-wall account of the truly unique 2020 season. Check out the incredible efforts of AFL India here.

Fun fact: Australian Cricket almost lost Alex Carey and Mitch Marsh to the AFL (tragic ;) )

THE IPL IS BACKKKK! And so are we! With yet another cricket episode (we're working on that honestly). The FOMO Sapiens present their preview of the second leg of IPL 2021 which kicks off today in Dubai in an episode where Raghav Talwar is joined by his school time buddy Uday Mathur as the two sit down in a chat to analyze all the 8 teams and what to expect in the next 4 weeks of pure cricketing action! Do tune in to listen!

A 9 day break in between tests was initially planned to give the players some rest and for the ECB to organise the knockouts of the innaugral season of its marquee tournament - The Hundred. But who knew that these 9 days will be used by players and fans alike to get over the enthralling cricket played between the two sides at the Home of Cricket and start with a clean slate for the rest of the three fixtures. Yes, the FomoSapiens are back to discuss what has transpired so far in what might shape up to be yet another jewel in this Indian side's crown. Listen in to Raghav Talwar having a chat with an old buddy of his as Uday Mathur makes a comeback on the show.

Well, we apologize for the filmy title but what can we say! It's the dawn of a new edition of the World Test Championship and what better to start things off than a spicy-pacy-seaming-and-kinda-edgy 5 test series between two of the modern test superpowers, that too at the Home of Cricket. You get it why we're so excited right? So do listen to an hour-long of nothing but proper cricket talk between our MIC Raghav Talwar and some of our favourite guests Pranay, Aditya and Uday as they chat the nitty-gritties of what's to come.

The FOMO Sapiens are back, this time to sit and discuss the disappointing tour to our neighboring island nation down south.

Tune in to listen to two people who don't support RR, simp over this team for the sake of recording this episode, because, like the broader universe, we too found it difficult to trace an RR fan for the podcast. Khamma Ghani.

In IPL vocabulary, it's pretty safe to say that SRH is synonymous with the word "Consistent". A team that always manages to unearth raw Indian talent and unleash it on the stage coupled with superstar foreign cricketers, SRH have over the years become everyone's top pick for playoffs before the start of a season. So does this side face any issues? If so, what are the possible solutions? Listen in to Abhinav Kumar and Shubham Jha chat with our host Raghav Talwar as they discuss the Sunrisers' prospects this year.

New year, new season, but the same old RCB! Or maybe not. Before the start of every edition of IPL, RCB manages to rack up a pretty formidable side on paper, that at least on the basis of merit, should have won a couple of trophies already. But the reality is far from different. Each year they suffer from similar death bowling woes, coupled with batting troubles due to overdependence on Virat and AB. This year, however, they've made some million-dollar buys and are once again rallying to the tune of EE SAAL CUP NAAMDE. Tune in to listen to Harshit and Pavit dissect RCB's chances this year and whether or not they can get their hands on a much desired maiden title for some of the most loyal fans in the country.

Having been a part of the IPL since the opening edition, the team from Delhi made its first-ever appearance in the Final last season where it finished second to the great MI side. This year, despite skipper Shreyas Iyer injured and ruled out, and some new faces in its roster, the Delhi Capitals will try to cross the final hurdle this time around, for one of the most loyal fanbases anywhere in the league. Tune in to listen to a veteran DD fan and Pant tragic Harshit Sachdeva learning the art of reverse jinxing from none other than an MI fan Navin Rajaram under the watchful eyes (ears) of the host Raghav Talwar.

After a horrendous last season which left many fans emotionally injured and in distress, CSK are back again, with a rejuvenated squad boasting off a million possible first XIs. For a team that manages to stay in the news at all times and not for the right reasons always, it was only fair to have veteran CSK fan and tragic Anand Kumar sitting down in a chat with Navin Rajaram, a loyal and superstitious supporter of their arch-rivals in the league as Raghav Talwar attempts to moderate the session. Tune in to find out what new tactics does Captain Cool has up his sleeves as he challenges for a 4th title.

Well, if there were one team that didn't need a squad analysis, it's the defending champions Mumbai Indians looking all set to achieve a Hattrick of wins, something that has never been done before in the IPL. But since we really are that vella, here we have our host and dost(ana) Raghav Talwar in a chat with Navin Rajaram and a special guest and cricket geek in Abhinav Kumar who try to split hairs just to find non-existing problems that MI might face and talk a bit about why this team has been so successful over the years.
