Simblified

Four fun things. Many random discussions.
So sometimes, we have a fun story, news story, fact or piece of trivia which we think is good Simblified fodder but not enough for a whole episode. So along came the idea of taking four of these and making them one episode!

Introducing Simblified Half Pints: A freshly brewed new format where your four hosts will each bring one fact or story (or whatever, really) to the table and then we yak about it for 10-15 minutes. With the usual Simblified detours of bad jokes, anecdotes, and perhaps something profound too! 

In this inaugural episode we look at sparkling water, the FIFA World Cup, anchovies and mosquitoes - thankfully not all at once.

We hope you like this new format - let us know what you think. We plan to do this once a month.

Add one part news, one part bad jokes, one part Wikipedia research, one part cult references from spending too much time on the internet, one part Wodehouse quotes, and one part quality puns, and you get Simblified.
A weekly podcast to help you appear smarter, to an audience that knows no less! Your four hosts - Chuck, Naren, Srikeit, and Tony attempt to deconstruct topics with humor (conditions apply). Fans of the show have described it as "fun conversations with relatable folks", "irreverent humor", "the funniest thing to come out of Malad West" and "if I give you a good review will you please let me go".

For a music fan, there's nothing quite like a live performance. Whether you're the sort that zones out at a classical music show, enjoys happy vibes on the lawns of a sunset music festival, bouncing to a DJ, or letting it all out in a heavy metal moshpit in a seedy club while getting your glasses broken (too specific?) - there is SOMETHING about watching musicians on stage, making music together. Chuck, Srikeit and Naren do a completely unscripted episode about the power of live music, what it means to them, while taking a few deviations that are now par for the course in one of these conversations. 

We hope you enjoy it, and let us know what your favourite live music gig was!
This episode is dedicated to the person who accosted us during Independence Rock '22 and said they were "a fan of Simblified, but more a fan of Naren"!

We've all had friends. Great friends, irritating friends, friends we don't know how we became friends with, in the first place. But what is it about this relationship that lets it endure through time and geography? Join your Simblified hosts as they share their experiences with friends and friendship

The fundamentals of nutrition can be boiled down to the calorie. In this 2 part episode, the Simblified gang takes an amateur dive into how calories work, the science behind nutrition labels, myths, marketing and more. Generously peppered with the usual combined study aesthetic, and more than usual disclaimers, check out this episode to learn more about the calorie.

How often have you felt the need to yell your head off at someone or reach out and slap someone? But surprisingly, this is not the best way to deal with interpersonal conflicts or differences of opinion. The best way, according to psychologists, is to communicate non violently. Join your Simblified hosts as they find out what these non violent methods might be, while resisting the impulse to inflict violence on them for their dreadful puns

You might have heard of DALL-E and Midjourney. If not, you might have seen some folks sharing all kinds of weird images on Twitter and Instagram with a strange line like "cat playing heavy metal drawn in the style of Picasso". Welcome to the world of AI-generated art. It's fascinating technology, and throws up a lot of questions on ethics, the role of art, the power of AI, and a whole lot more.

In a 2-part series, the Simblified gang tries to make sense of the whole thing.

In this first part, we look at the larger questions and have a free-flowing discussion on a world with DALLE's technology. It ends up being strangely profound.
