  • Ep. 185: Modal Jazz

    In the late 50s, Miles Davis was tired of what he thought was repetitive jazz and he decided to adopt a much more complex form called Modal Jazz. And to the amazement of just about everyone in the music world, instead of putting listeners off, the complex music actually sold like hot cakes. Indeed, his album, Kind of Blue, became one of the highest selling jazz albums of all time! Join your Simblified hosts as they try to find out what exactly Modal Jazz is, and discuss how it's different from the earlier music

  • Ep. 182: The Elephant in the Room

    The tragic death of an elephant in Kerala caught national attention, and sparked a short-lived outrage cycle on social media. The Simblified gang looks at the larger story involving wild boars, human animal conflict, plight of the farmers, and the legal way to eliminate a pest that destroys crops. All this is a shortie without going wild or boaring you.

  • Ep. 181: Vertical Farming

    Over the last two decades, vertical farming has been touted, alternately, as the best idea since sliced bread and the worst idea since allowing Himmesh to direct movies. Join your hosts as they attempt to find out which of these it is, and mostly, what exactly IS vertical farming, and what it achieves. You'll be less vertically challenged.

  • Ep. 180: Sports in the times of the pandemic. Howzat?

    Of the many things the pandemic has put a pause on, we miss sports the most. And when the world is collectively losing its marbles, sports fans have found Marble Racing on YouTube.
    In this episode, Srikeit and Tony are joined by Srinath Sripath - self-confessed Manchester United fan. They explore how the pandemic is affecting the world of sports. From scheduling, fitness, and rules to audience experience and new business models. Also, why cycling simulation on exercise bikes will never be fully realistic.

    The funniest sports podcast episode ever from the 2019 Cricket World Cup (Produced by Srinath): "Is the 'scene on' for Pakistan?" http://www.espn.com/espnradio/play?id=27064627

  • Ep. 179: Antinatalism - Better Born or Unborn?

    A great philosopher and ultracrepidarian once said, "If you really love your children, you won't have them".
    He now hosts a profoundly silly podcast called Simblified and goes by the name Narendra Shenoy.

    Join Naren, Chuck, Tony and Srikeit as they discuss the numerous arguments for and against having children - from philosophical, moral and practical perspectives. And whether this Covid pandemic will lead to a baby boom or bust.

  • Ep. 178: Absurd predictions for a post-coronavirus world - Part 2

    We continue with the second part of our live episode!

    Some very astute, smart people have been writing very logical pieces on "things that will happen to X industry post-coronavirus". People will buy more of this and less of that and will start less of this more and will consume more Simblified content... Stuff like that.
    Well, we at Simblified always look to go beyond the obvious. But mostly we're lazy to do any proper analysis and just want a laugh. And, shockingly, over the course of 175+ episodes, it turns out that our listeners do too ("Simblified: When you want a break from logic and reality", as one NYT columnist might have put it).

    So we did a live episode, where we made some predictions!
    - Each of our four hosts gives a prediction. The more outlandish, the better. For eg: "People will eat more carrots more after coronavirus".
    - The other hosts tries to logically guess why that will be ("People will wear masks when they go out. They fog up glasses. People will try to get better eyesight. So... Carrots.").

    So it's part E&Y Whitepaper, part Butterfly Effect, part MAD Magazine six-degrees-of-separation, part drunk conversation (a combination, again, that you will get only on Malad's finest podcast!)

    We also get some audience predictions in. It was a ton of fun!

    This is part 2 of 2 - the first episode was out last week. If you'd like to see the whole thing in all its glory - you can check out the full video itself here!
