It's the secret to cooking meats perfectly. It's also the newest cooking technique in the world. And it's little known outside hipster circles. Naturally, Simblified listeners will be dying to know more about it and your hosts Tony and Naren dive into it

Ep. 191: Sous Vide Cooking

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 humour (conditions apply). Fans of the show have described it as "fun conversations with relatable folks", "irreverent humour", "the funniest thing to come out of Malad West" and "if I give you a good review will you please let me go".  Started in 2016 as a creative outlet, Simblified now has over 200 episodes, including some live ones, and some with guests who are much smarter than the hosts. Welcome to the world of Simblified!

9 years, ~320 episodes. 4 co-hosts, 6 producers, so many folks behind the scenes. Some 50 guests, thousands (!) of listeners, hundreds of thousands (!!!!) of downloads.  Well, folks, it's time for the curtains to fall on our little show. Simblified started as an exercise to stave off some boredom long back in Malad with nothing more than the voice recorded app on an Android phone, and our idea of sound engineering was turning off the fan. Along the way, we've collected two more co-hosts and apparently many fans! It's finally time to bid goodbye.  But before we go, we owe you one final episode and it's an absolute doozy and dare I say our most emotional one yet. We delve into the reasons why we're stopping the show, what each of us has taken away from hosting it, and importantly, what more we are up to. Because we don't intend to stop creating content anytime soon - the Simblified Cinematic Universe will include new podcasts, newsletters, books (!), and who knows what else. The four hosts remain massive friends and there's no doubt something involving a combination will surface somewhere soon. The episode also features some absolutely touching voice notes from fans and folks who made the show possible. On that note, a massive shout out to our partners at IVM Podcasts, without whom this show would have probably died 300 episodes ago.  Thank you to everyone who listened, and recommended, and wrote in to us. We joke that there were 5 Simblified listeners, but we know there are many more. Some of you have even come up to us at music festivals, some have made joke websites for us, and for many of you it's part of your Monday schedule! We're genuinely humbled and thrilled that we had such an impact on your lives and apparently the entire podcasting ecosystem.  Our social links are below. Follow us to keep up with what we're doing - stuff is going to come really soon :)  Chuck: https://twitter.com/chuck_gopal  | https://instagram.com/chuckofalltrades Naren: https://twitter.com/shenoyn  | https://www.instagram.com/shenoynv Srikeit: https://twitter.com/srikeit  | https://www.instagram.com/srikeit/ Tony: https://twitter.com/notytony  | https://www.instagram.com/notytony/  Current parts of the Simblified Cinematic Universe:  Tony's cricket podcast, Bits & Pieces: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcIJxVpUbg05A2bAOcX6uqA Tony & Nitin's fun Simblifiedesque podcast, Leftover Lasagne: https://www.youtube.com/@theleftoverlasagne/videos Chuck's newsletter, Things of Internet: https://thingsofinternet.substack.com/  (More coming soon - very soon)  Thank you, everyone, once again.

After 8 years, we've decided to hit the pause button. A short announcement as to why, and what's coming up.  If you're the type who not just listens to Simblified but actually reads these descriptions, thank you so much. Please write in at simblified.podcast@gmail.com with... Anything.  We'll be back. While we can't promise when or in what form... We will be back.  Thank you for listening to Simblified. It's been a great ride. Stay safe. Stay Simblified. :)

Aaaaand we're taking a break.

Remember the 2020-2022? That was one heck of a time - and while we were living through it, it felt like EVERYTHING was changing and would stay that way for ever. Well, it's now halfway through 2023 and... Things feel like the old normal, not the new one, in many cases.  The Simblified gang try to make sense of this: a discussion that traverses many topics we've spoken about in the last few years: medicine, physicality, remote work, supply chains and a lot more. Join in as we try to make sense of the world we're in now.

Covid was supposed to change everything - has it?

What is consciousness? What do we know about our selves? Do we even have selves? These, and other questions have occupied the minds of fine thinkers over the centuries and now it occupies those of your hosts. If you can call them minds that is. Join Naren, Chuck, Srikeit and Tony as they engage with these weighty matters

Consciousness - A User's Guide

We speak to Simblified fan (!) and microbiologist Avraneel Paul on a whole bunch of things related to what happens inside our body! Viruses and bacteria, how vaccines work, how those WBC badasses keep us safe, and so on. Along the way, we also speak about exciting advancements like CRISPR, and explore philosophical questions like whether Covid has changed the field... And what a day in the life of a scientist looks like. There's loads of trivia, loads of simblification and a few bad jokes as well in this two-part episode. We hope you like it and have renewed appreciation for scientists (and your body!) after it!
