Episode 74 of WIT Talks dives headfirst into the endless spiral that is... Overthinking!Rinshad Kuruniyan, Mahadevan A R, and Aneez M Latheef tackle this audience-requested topic by — you guessed it — overthinking about overthinking 😂. From diagnosing the real overthinker in the group (spoiler alert: it's John Joe) to Mahadevan giving a deep dive into his personal battles with the blessing (and curse) of overthinking, it's a rollercoaster of thoughts, laughs, and real talk.They ponder whether overthinking actually helps creativity 🎨, pull hilarious examples from the world of sports, and even philosophize how the Bhagavad Gita itself was a giant therapy session on a battlefield!Along the way, they stumble upon topics like analysis paralysis, the link between overthinking, depression and anxiety, and — as always — manage to keep things light, hilarious, and oh-so-relatable.If you’ve ever stayed up at night rethinking a WhatsApp message you sent in 2017... this episode is your therapy 😅.👉 Hit play and join the chaos inside our heads!#wittalks #witcrew #malayalamcomedy #malayalampodcast #overthinking #malayalamstories #opinions #analysis #analysisparalysis #perfectionism #depression #anxiety #malayalamtalkshow In Bengaluru on May 3, Saturday?

Episode 72 of WIT Talks is here - and this time, it’s hot, spicy, and just a little reheated (because we waited for facts, not just clout). Aneez M Latheef, Rinshad Kuruniyan, John Joe, and Deepak Mohan dive into the Empuraan controversy - was it a brilliant marketing masterstroke after lukewarm reviews? Or was there real pressure from higher powers and central agencies?The boys pull no punches as they go from movie debates to Kerala’s cultural core, sprinkle in some Indian political history, and call out the divide and rule tactics used by power-hungry puppeteers. And in the middle of all this? Jokes, punchlines, and the occasional existential crisis.Oh, and a humble request: please be tolerant of our intolerance about intolerance. We're not a news channel, just four grownups with mics and WiFi trying to make sense of the madness.Watch. Laugh. Think. Repeat.In Bengaluru on May 3, Saturday?

Episode 67 of WIT Talks kicks off at an ungodly 6 AM, as the crew—Rinshad Kuruniyan, Deepak Mohan, Mahadevan A R, and John Joe—along with the production team Akhil Sundaram and Jay—struggle to balance their hectic new two-episode-a-week schedule. The original plan? A nostalgic deep dive into childhood games (കളികൾ). The reality? Sleep-deprived chaos as the conversation hilariously derails into musical instruments! From guitars as chick magnets, violins for uniqueness, to percussion instruments being "too unglamorous", the gang’s trysts with music take center stage. Despite several failed attempts to return to the topic of games, they spiral into music, playlists, and beyond. An absolute rollercoaster of an episode—don't miss out on this musical misadventure!#witcrew #wittalks #malayalampodcast #musicalinstrument #malayalamtalkshow #malayalamcomedy #malayalamcomedypodcast #bestmalayalampodcast #malayalamstories #malayalamstorytelling #music #musicexperiences #guitar #violin #drums #playlists #spotifyplaylist #bumble About WIT Talks:WIT Talks is an unfiltered, brutally honest, and hilariously entertaining Malayalam podcast where standup comedians John Joe, Mahadevan A R, Deepak Mohan, and Aneez M Latheef-along with their manager Rinshad Kuruniyan—sit down for raw, no-holds-barred discussions on everything under the sun.
