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.

Episode 19: Branching out to Australian Rules Football
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.
