Odd Fish

After a 3 week break, Odd Fish is back with an update on the quarantine life! In this episode, we check in with each other on the ups and downs of adjusting to a "new normal" during the COVID-19 pandemic, and we look into ways to find solace or normality in an abnormal time. 

Your favorite fish are joined this week by guest star Hailey Algoe to discuss niche aesthetics, curatorial identities, and subcultures and how they are facilitated by social media in a digital age. Other topics touched on include capitalism, Rish's instagram, and wanting to have coronavirus.

During this episode, Rish and Pranav break down the facts surrounding the wage gap in America as a whole as well as how it relates to demographics such as age and gender. Tune in for some hard facts, analysis, and some unexpected issues that our hosts are still in the dark on...

Rish and Pranav sit down with a good friend and "Bernie Bro", Eli Melendrez, to talk about democratic socialism and policies in the eyes of the Bernie campaign. As a government major and a volunteer on the Bernie campaign, Eli sheds light on some important topics and issues that deal with the 2020 election and the bipartisan nature of politics.  

After we saw Atlanta-based hip-hop duo Earthgang live, both with extremely different expectations of what we were getting into, the two of us decided to use this episode to reflect on the impacts of concert culture on the music industry as well as pop culture as a whole. This week, we break down the live concert experience from the eyes of the audience and performers alike.

Welcome back! The OG hosts are finally reunited. In the long-awaited debut of Odd Fish Season 2, Pranav and Rish take a swim in the realms of reputation, self-worth, and social responsibility. Count how many times Rish says "I think" and unfollow us if Pranav ever says "Vibe."

Frequent listeners of this podcast know that Pranav is not the biggest fan of pop culture icon Drake, and this episode explains why. Pranav and former band-mate Jacob Eberhard, also known as Jake Leaf, sit down to talk about their mutual love of hip-hop and mutual distaste for Drake.

Your favorite high school duo is back! Pranav spends this episode with former musical partner Darnez Hill, known on stage as Dez Ali, talking about Darnez's journey as an independent music artist. This discussion includes topics such as the process of making music, being in a hip-hop collective,  playing a persona, sacrificing for a greater goal, and even an inspiring poem at the end of it all. Our experiences making music have significantly influenced our lives today, and we hope you're able to get some of that value out of this episode.
