Ep. 176: Announcing a Live Online Show!
May 04, 2020 00:35 - 17 minutes - 16 MBWe've been seeing so many predictions for the world post-coronavirus. Some things will be more popular. Some industries will suffer. So we had an idea for a shortie: What's the most ridiculous, far-fetched such connection that we could think of? And then we had another idea: What if we expanded this idea and asked people to join in? Aha! So on Thursday, 07 May 2020 - join the Simblified quartet as they host a live online recording (OMG yes, you finally get to see what we look like). And for...

In this shortie, the quartet try to present a very simblified version of what happened, what it means, and what you should keep in mind if you're in the market to buy a flat.

February 03, 2020 07:27 - 58 minutes - 53.6 MBThe world's largest consumer electronics show of the year happened in early Jan, and it clearly took the gang some time to wrap their head around everything that happened in Las Vegas.

Ep. 160: Did porn really help the internet grow?
December 23, 2019 00:30 - 52 minutes - 48.3 MBShort answer - yes. Since time immemorial, smut has pushed technology - from cave paintings to virtual reality and everything in between. The internet has been a particularly rewarded beneficiary of people's desires for the naughty. Join Chuck and Srikeit as they unravel this, while admirably staying away from innuendos. NEW TO SIMBLIFIED? It's an Indian podcast - probably the best to come from Malad West - that takes things that happen around us, and deconstructs them in a language you ca...

December 16, 2019 00:30 - 25 minutes - 23 MBAnyone tuned in to the constant laughter track (aka News) coming from the US will definitely have heard of Democrats attempts to impeach their Orange Overlord.

December 02, 2019 00:30 - 58 minutes - 53.5 MBYes, back in school, Civics was like the token black guy of social studies. Who had time to learn about elected officials while deciduous trees and various dates were waiting to be mugged up! But as we grow older, wiser and more responsible, we find ourselves using the things we were supposed to study in 7th standard more and more useful (no, trigonometry, not you). Meghnad and Shreyas, hosts of a new podcast called "How to Citizen" tell us about this and how we can become better citizens ...

Srikeit and Naren simblify what behavioural addiction is, the neurochemistry of the brain and how we can help someone suffering from behavioural addiction. NEW TO SIMBLIFIED?

Yup, we crossed 150 recently, and to celebrate, we asked our fans to send in some questions and boy did we get a lot! In this episode, Chuck & Srikeit simblify Brexit (always a hilarious topic) and Dubai. Thank you to @Clytone (Instagram), @siddharthdudeja (Instagram) and everyone who sent questions in! We might have one more 150th episode. By which we mean we definitely will. ...
Ep. 152: The 150th Episode, Part 3
October 23, 2019 00:30 - 49 minutes - 45.2 MBWhat, yet another 150th episode? Well, yes. We got way too many requests from our listeners- so you have only yourselves to blame, actually. This week, we have only the young scallywags Chuck and Srikeit, as Naren was... well... contributing to the economy. In this episode, we look at the effect of various intoxicants on the brain (purely from theoretical research of course), the importance of space travel (not with said intoxicants) and why the damn waist size number is different from act...

August 26, 2019 00:30 - 17 minutes - 16.4 MBApartheid. South Africa. Cricket World Cup. Somehow, those three terms seem to be linked uncomfortably together - so the Simblified gang (or, 2/3rds of it anyway) have a look at how South African cricket got themselves in a spot of trouble in the first place. It's a fascinating story of a cricketer called Basil D'Oliviera, racist politicians, some bribery and a lot of circumstances falling in place. The end result: SA didn't play cricket for decades, till their politicians finally came to th...
Ep. 146: On making crosswords, ft. Tony Sebastian
August 19, 2019 00:30 - 52 minutes - 48.1 MBCrosswords - those quaint old things, delighting pun lovers since time immemorial - are notoriously difficult things to put together (let alone solve). So the guys who make them must be some other-level geniuses only. Your hosts aren't - but luckily, we managed to get someone on the show! Tony Sebastian is a cruciverbalist (yes, that's what they're called) who has set crosswords for The Hindu, and is a wordplay enthusiast (also a nonsense enthusiast, given it's his third appearance on Simbli...
Ep. 145: How Hawk-Eye works
August 12, 2019 00:30 - 14 minutes - 13.2 MBHOWZAAAAAAAT! Sorry, we had to catch your attention. In this episode, the Simblified guys look at the fascinating technology that is Hawkeye, how it works and how it's used in other sports (including, for some reason, golf, which, for some reason, thinks it's a sport). Anyway, this shortie episode also tells you some fascinating trivia like when the first time it was used was, and how much it costs. NEW TO SIMBLIFIED?

Ep. 143: Different Strokes - Variants of cricket you might not have heard of

July 22, 2019 00:30 - 48 minutes - 44.5 MBTrue hipsters that we are, we've decided to do a series of cricket shows AFTER the CWC19 is over. Some might call us late, but we say there's benefit in being late (like in Lara's batting technique, for instance). Anyway, the Simblified gang look through the World Cup editions 1975 to 1992, each of which were different, a microcosm of the changing times around them. From the quiet, polite, sparse crowds of England 1975 to raucous middle-class noise of Subcontinent 1987. From the low-scoring ...

July 15, 2019 00:30 - 36 minutes - 33.1 MBWhat happens when three Pun lovers who run a podcast meet their spiritual Punning guru? That's right, a conversation on how to make tea. Ajit Bhaskar, whose puns on Twitter (@ajit_bhaskar) resulted in him being honoured with a unit (the worst Simblified pun is only. 6 Ajits), and whose incredible cooking skills have made many drool over at Instagram (@macroajit), is actually a Ph.D. who now is a food scientist. He joins the Simblified crew for a fascinating chat on what happens behind the sc...
Ep. 141: Ever Wonder how we predict the weather?
July 08, 2019 00:30 - 12 minutes - 11.7 MBSo, yeah, the weather in Mumbai isn't all that great (or is full of romance, petrichor, and other nonsense, if you don't need to travel by public transport). Anyway - we frequently criticize the MET for getting the weather wrong. But they get it right most of the time, and it's pretty darn difficult to ask given that literally anything in the world could change the weather. It was a meteorologist who coined the phrase 'butterfly effect', after all. Chuck and Srikeit look at how the weather i...
