Mixed martial arts, that elegant sport on which contestants try their hardest to maim each other with their bare hands and legs, has gained immensely in popularity over the last decade or so. But what is it, really? How did it start? Why is it so popular? Is it even safe?

Join your Simblified hosts as they ask these questions and more to Sidd Rao, a national level Kickboxer and one of the coolest guys we've interviewed, and find out.

Add one part news, one part bad jokes, one part Wikipedia research, one part cult references from spending too much time on the internet, one part Wodehouse quotes, and one part quality puns, and you get Simblified.

A weekly podcast to help you appear smarter, to an audience that knows no less! Your four hosts - Chuck, Naren, Srikeit and Tony attempt to deconstruct topics with humour (conditions apply). Fans of the show have described it as "fun conversations with relatable folks", "irreverent humour", "the funniest thing to come out of Malad West" and "if I give you a good review will you please let me go".

Started in 2016 as a creative outlet, Simblified now has over 200 episodes, including some live ones, and some with guests who are much smarter than the hosts. Welcome to the world of Simblified!
