Odd Fish

Coming to you live from the middle of the ocean, Rish and his childhood besties Gautham and Aditya Ravi, dive into a discussion about how experiences are valued in life. After a recent scuba diving trip, the trio discuss how things and experiences can be valued monetarily and why there is so much risk, skepticism and hesitation when it comes to spending big bucks. 

As opposed to the standard Odd Fish clownery, this episode deals with a topic that we take very seriously. On the episode Pranav interviews Cullen Woodward, a close friend and history/philosophy student at Tulane University, on why mental health issues such as depression are so prevalent amongst college students and what can be done about it on an individual level. 

Have you ever noticed the disconnect between our generation and our elders? In this episode, Pranav sits down with special guest Connor Bugni to discuss the phenomenon of boomers and how best to deal with them in our society.

As this year (and this decade) comes to a close,  the two of us take a look at some of the most significant things to come out of 2019 and the 2010s as a whole. Both in the context of large-scale events and situations unique to our own lives, we wrap up the decade with our "charming" dialogue and discuss the future of Odd Fish while we're on break.

Is beauty in the eye of the beholder? Or is it in the eye of your bestfriend who also happens to be your podcast co-host? In this episode, we talk about the concept of beauty being subjective vs. objective and how that plays into multiple creative disciplines. 

Is there a concrete topic for this episode? We're not quite sure, but we talk about happiness and regret, and get cuddly and deep with each other. But most of all, the vibes get checked real hard.

On this episode, we invite another guest to talk about anything and everything food related. We go through our trials and tribulations as young chefs cooking for the first time in college and discuss if a poptart is a type of ravioli. Also, we were really, really hungry when we made this episode. 

Can money buy you happiness? Given the value our culture places on financial wealth, the two of us sit down to discuss our own opinions and research on the correlation between money and happiness (at least for as long as we can stay on topic).

One of the most influential names in hip-hop music and pop culture as a whole, Kanye West's albums are all so diverse and exceptional in their own way. Given that we are both such big fans of Kanye (which may be surprising since we rarely ever refer to him on the podcast), we felt that a ranking of Kanye West's albums would be an interesting way to dive into the context behind Kanye's music, especially in light of his most recent release.

With 10 overwhelmingly successful episodes under our belt, we started to think about how well our audience really knows us. On this milestone episode, the two of us interview each other in the hopes of gaining some insight into our seemingly odd personalities.
