On this week's episode of Cyrus Says, Cyrus is joined by professor, poet, author, and man who loves to take long walks - Jerry Pinto. Jerry talks about being a math tutor in his teens and a certain celebrity student he tried to teach, his experience of winning a national award, and his offbeat method of teaching. In the second half he traces his writing career - from writing 28 pieces in one paper to putting his experiences with his mother into his novel 'Em and the Bog Hoom'. He even puts Cyrus' writing through a critical lens.
