Our Title Was Taken

In this episode, we talk about former diamond tycoon Nirav Modi, and how he led the Punjabi National Bank Scam, stealing upwards of $1 billion dollars through less-than-legal letters of undertaking and generally illegal business methods, before fleeing to London where he was found and arrested. 

In this episode, we look at three major buildings around the world, and their very controversial architectural and constructional histories. Despite the mesmerising beauty of these structures it is important to appreciate the harrowing conditions workers were sometimes put through to construct them, many times without any pay, and without construction materials for many older buildings. 

In this episode, we talk about euthanasia and why assisted suicide and assisted death are different things. We also talk about the questionable legalities of these 3 entities in different countries, and the ethical issues which underpin them.

In this episode, we look at Ponzi schemes, and how they can be used to rob people of their money. We also look at why they are illegal and how they are similar to pyramid schemes.

In this episode, we talk about the different building which look like waves - and what this type of architecture is known as. 

In this episode we talk about research being done into magic mushrooms, and how the research indicates that they could be legalised for medicinal and therapeutic use, but also the pitfalls of legalising a drug like this.

In this episode, we talk about JP Morgan Chase, and whether his actions deserved him the title of a robber-baron, and whether he did in fact do any good. 

In this episode, we discuss the definition of the term landscape, and then debate on which fictional landscape is best. Sid champions the Starship Avalon from the movie Passengers, Zain talks about Asgard (Thor's home realm) and Shaul talks about 2 areas from the TV animated series Avatar and Legend of Korra. Kushul ultimately comes to a (biased) decision on which landscape is best while I fight to amend his clearly unfair and unreasonable judgement. 

In our season 2 debut, we start off with an interesting and much thought-about idea; can humans live forever? If we could, should we? Is it an ethical idea? We also consider other arguments on this topic - listen to learn more! 

In the finale of our debut season, we talk about how GME stock, Robin Hood Trading and Reddit made a huge impact on Wall Street, especially when some traders tried to short GME. We explain this relevant and current cultural phenomenon a bit as well as positing our own theories, to top off this season!
