For this episode the Vele crew discuss the trial of Johnny Depp VS Amber Heard and how maybe we as a society were quick to judge and how social media can affect the outcome of trials like this one. 

In this episode we discuss the Thor Love and Thunder and the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, what we expect from it and where may it be going. We then move on to discuss the recent mishap with an EV battery and how it will affect the EV industry in India. 

With the dominance of streaming platforms we discuss if the theater experience is still relevant in these time, we then move on to discussing Elon making an offer to buy twitter and what it may lead to and finally provide our highly analytical insights in the world of sports.

This weeks episode featured an insightful discussion with Amrit and Arnav focusing on Elon Musk's buying his way into twitter and why people hate the stock market. They then revert back to the usual topic of sports to discuss why are the Lakers so bad.

In this episode we talk about the hot topic everyone has been talking about the world cup, electric vehicles. Oh and also apparently something small happened at the Oscars...

This week we have a sports philosophy special as we debate the merits and demerits of superstar athletes forming superteams. This stems from Giannis Antetekoumpo winning his first NBA title and claiming he did it the ‘hard way. We discuss why he commented, the implication of certain victories meaning more than others, and the narratives players decide for their legacies (08:43). We also deliberate on the opening of India’s medal tally at the Tokyo Olympics via weightlifting sensation Mirabai Chanu (0:00). Finally we ended the show with football and NBA transfer talk (52:50). This week’s episode is a subjective take on how each of us individually rates a championship and if our standards waver when we are faced with the actions of our own teams.

This week we have a complete episode dedicated to an exciting yet thought provoking EURO 2020. As the tournament ended, Italy were crowned champions at Wembley, much to the chagrin of English fans (5:45). We discuss the racist abuse suffered by young black players after the game, and talk about the post game violence as well (18:45). We also talk about Italy's campaign and Gareth Southgate's technical and philosophical approach to football. As the Euros had many controversial moments related to the Video Assistant Referee, we discuss how VAR is affecting the flow of the game (48:47). How does football deal with stoppages and questionable decisions in the era of social media and instant replays? This and a lot more in this EURO 2020 special!

In this episode of the Vele podcast, the crew share their own personal horror stories they experienced and discussed their embarrassing moments of being scared (04:45). We then move onto talk about our own gaming history, which actually proved to be a great journey down memory lane as the crew remember the games they grew up with (38:22). A funny episode for sure, don't miss it!
