Simblified

Yes, back in school, Civics was like the token black guy of social studies. Who had time to learn about elected officials while deciduous trees and various dates were waiting to be mugged up!

But as we grow older, wiser and more responsible, we find ourselves using the things we were supposed to study in 7th standard more and more useful (no, trigonometry, not you). Meghnad and Shreyas, hosts of a new podcast called "How to Citizen" tell us about this and how we can become better citizens (or at least, better informed while trolling people on Twitter). This is an eye-opening episode and honestly, we could have gone on yammering for another few hours on the topic - but you can hear M&S do that in their show (link below). We also talk about the problems of social studies pedagogy, and go through several of our own experiences and biases. Super chat it was and we hope you enjoy it as well.

NEW TO SIMBLIFIED? It's an Indian podcast - probably the best to come from Malad West - that takes things that happen around us, and deconstructs them in a language you can understand, often surmounting several puns and PG Wodehouse references along the way. We aim to make you appear smarter during parties, job interviews, and dates. Your hosts (and Twitter / Instagram handles) are Chuck (@chuck_gopal / @chuckofalltrades), Srikeit (@srikeit, @srikeit) and Naren (@shenoyn, @shenoynv). We are part of the IVM Podcast network, who, till this day, wonder why they signed us on.

On this light-hearted shortie, Srikeit and Naren simblify the figure of speech, Paraprosdokian. Yes, that's one heck of a tongue twister. Join them in this episode as they give you humourous examples and guide you to unexpect the expected.

After a series of celebrating our milestone, we are back to continue our normal episodes with mildy researched topics and a little banter, not that it was any different previously. All banter aside, this week, we dive deep into the sensitive topic of behavioural addiction. Srikeit and Naren simblify what behavioural addiction is, the neurochemistry of the brain and how we can help someone suffering from behavioural addiction.

We are finally done with our 150th episode special, yes we swear this time it's over and it took us only 6 parts to end it. We hope that you enjoyed this interactive journey and would like to thank each and every one of you who took the time to write to us and patiently listened throughout this series. It has been an amazing journey so far! Alright, enough with the acceptance award speech and let's get to what we have for you this week!

We have dedicated this entire episode to talk about brand conglomerates such as Luxottica, Disney, General Motors, Unilever etc. What is a conglomerate and how many brands fall under these conglomerates which we aren't aware of?

Thank you Sivaram (@fickleberryhunn) for submitting your question which made this week's episode!

Will this ever end? Perhaps not soon. We've received an overwhelming response from you guys and want to try and answer all of your questions! So yes, we've put together another 150th episode. On this Srikeitless episode, Chuck and Naren break down the dying question, why is sion called shiv and why do the local cabs in Mumbai have certain surburbs mentioned at the back of them but will go anywhere you like? They also simblify the Easter Islands and talk about the the most remote place on earth, Tristan Da Cunha. Later, they explain the Instagram influencer ecosystem and conduct a ground breaking research on the eponymous Choli Ke Peeche Kya Hai? Make sure you buckle up for this rollercoaster of an episode!

We'd like to thank Utsav Mamoria (@whywetravel42), Navin Naronha (@houseofnaronha), @thefraudbrahmin and you anonymous Google form person for sending in your questions!

Goodness, another 150th episode? This is a running joke now which we hope carries through till our 200th episode. Yup, we crossed 150 recently, and to celebrate, we asked our fans to send in some questions and boy did we get a lot! In this episode, Chuck & Srikeit simblify Brexit (always a hilarious topic) and Dubai.

Thank you to @Clytone (Instagram), @siddharthdudeja (Instagram) and everyone who sent questions in! We might have one more 150th episode. By which we mean we definitely will.

What, yet another 150th episode? Well, yes. We got way too many requests from our listeners- so you have only yourselves to blame, actually. This week, we have only the young scallywags Chuck and Srikeit, as Naren was... well... contributing to the economy.

In this episode, we look at the effect of various intoxicants on the brain (purely from theoretical research of course), the importance of space travel (not with said intoxicants) and why the damn waist size number is different from actual waist sizes!

Many thanks to @Sreenidish (Twitter) and @mikhailalmeida (Instagram) for sending in these questions.

In this second part of our 150th episode (whatever that means), we continue what we did with the first part. As you know, we asked our listeners to send in ideas for things we can Simblify to celebrate this little milestone.

Once again - thank you for the overwhelming response. If you don't like these episodes, you now have only yourselves to blame. Once again, we have a whole bunch of kickass questions, and the trio of Chuck, Srikeit & Naren will try their best to answer them (or, at the very least, entertain you while trying to answer them).

This week: How much would would a (sigh... You know where this goes). Whose job it is to give back change in a bus (you ? The conductor?), and are there other galaxies like ours out there?

Statutory warning: There are some very horrible jokes in here. You've been warned. But hey, if you're a regular listener, you knew that, didn't you?

That's right, you let us ramble on unchecked and we'll eventually hit a milestone. So we collectively raise our podcasting bats (or... mics) to acknowledge the deafening cheers that accompany our 150th episode!

To celebrate (or... finding a way out since we were too lazy to do anything) - we asked our dear listeners to send in ideas for things we can Simblify! Thank you for the overwhelming response - so much so that we're going to have multiple 150th episodes! We have a whole spectrum of questions to answer, so let's dive right in. This week: The difference between first world, second world and third world countries, why popping bubble wrap is so satisfying, how aircrafts are able to fly without crashing into each other, and a very very profound question to kick things off by Cyrus of Cyrus Says. Thank you @capefoxalix, @Chloe_Bhatoore, @Arjuncho and @boredbroacha for sending in the questions!

If you like this, there's more such crowdsourced nonsense coming next week - so if you hate these episodes, we now have someone else to partially blame!
