Ep. 171: What makes a country happy?

As Oprah Winfrey once said, "You get free money, and you get free money, everybody gets free money!"Based on this totally legit infamous quote, this episode is about UBI - not Union Bank of India as google would mention it but Universal Basic Income. A concept also known as citizen's income, UBI does have some interesting perks which help the average person live a better life. Other famous people have also encouraged the notion of UBI like Martin Luther King Jr, Mark Zuckerberg and Andrew Yang. So we did some research to talk about the yin and yang of UBI and the impact it will have on the global economy.Meet your hosts aka The Ultracrepidarians!

Ep. 170: UBI - Free money for everybody

There have been several stoic philosophers like Seneca the Younger, Marcus Aurelius &amp; Epictetus (Jiggles) who have influenced the school of Hellenistic philosophy. What is stoicism you may ask? How does one become a stoic? Do we suffer more often in imagination than in reality? To put your curiosity out of misery, Naren, Chuck &amp; Tony explain the philosophy and history of stoicism and how one can incorporate stoicism as a way of life.Meet your hosts aka The Ultracrepidarians!

Facebook, the social network everyone loves to hate has been grappling with the free speech v/s content moderation conundrum for several years now.

Ep. 168: Consumed in moderation

On 11th and 12th Jan 2020, 4 apartment complexes in Maradu (in Kochi, Kerala) were brought following a longdrawn legal battle. This story was fascinating enough for the Simblified gang to read the actual Supreme Court order and so they had to let people know about their glorious achievement. In this shortie, the quartet try to present a very simblified version of what happened, what it means, and what you should keep in mind if you're in the market to buy a flat. Also, they stumble over the difference between an apartment and a flat.Feat: Thaikkudam Bridge.Link: Supreme Court Order helpfully highlighted by a Reddit user - <a href="https://imgur.com/a/vHCNt0a" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://imgur.com/a/vHCNt0a</a>Meet your hosts aka The Ultracrepidarians!

Ep. 166: We see, you see, we all CES 2020

Simblified upgraded from a rusty bike to a creaky autorickshaw when we got Srikeit on as a 3rd host a few years ago, and now we've traded our beloved tuk-tuk to a sleek electric car zippin' down the highways, turning heads and causing admiration, all while delighting onlookers and generally improving lives of everyone who happens to be within 3 sq km of it. Um, well - at least that's what we told Tony in the brochure. So yes, we have decided to get Tony Sebastian on as our 4th co-host. Fans will remember him as a frequent guest on year-end episodes, and that one time he told us about crosswords. We thought we'd spend an episode talking about him and his past, upbringing and his adorable Mallu accent but instead we do a lot of nonsense ramble instead. It's still a highly entertaining "episode". So say hello to the one and only Tony Sebastian!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.

Hopefully, your resolutions aren't!This is the last part of the 2019 review (phew, finally!). While we've done a ton of topical Simblification, we thought we'd have a look at some of the major themes that kept coming back to bite us in the arse in 2019. The Simblified gang have a freewheeling, absolutely unscripted conversation on some key topics that kept hitting headlines through the year (and... made many heads fall on desks, too).

The Simblified gang carries on with their 2019 review because they have nothing better to do. While we've done a ton of topical Simblification, we thought we'd have a look at some of the major themes that kept coming back to bite us in the arse in 2019.The Simblified gang break have a freewheeling, absolutely unscripted conversation on some key topics that kept hitting headlines through the year (and... made many heads fall on desks, too). We'd reveal the topics in this description, but... Then what's the fun, right? Each episode features 5-6 topics which our team of hosts discuss. We all learn something new along the way, and hope you do, too (and yes, there are many many bad jokes too). Um, we touch upon the U2 concert as well because Chuck.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.

Ep. 162: The 2019 recap Part 2 - Supreme Court Decisions, Hong Kong Protests & the U2 concert

It's the end of a very eventful year (assuming nothing happens in the last 3 days).

We all learn something new along the way, and hope you do, too (and yes, there are many many bad jokes too). It's also the first episode with our guest-while-recording, but promoted-to-co-host-after-recording new host, Tony Sebastian! Say hello! Chuck & Srikeit make up your old hosts, while Naren is unfortunately AWOL. We would love to hear from you on what you think of the show.

Ep. 161: The 2019 recap Part 1 - Big Tech, Cricket WC & Softbank

Ep. 160: Did porn really help the internet grow?

Anyone tuned in to the constant laughter track (aka News) coming from the US will definitely have heard of Democrats attempts to impeach their Orange Overlord. But what really is impeachment?

Ep. 158: The PFN-Simblified crossover episode

A weekly podcast that explains burning issues that you should know, to help you appear smarter than you are, to an audience that knows no less ;-) So basically, we take topics and attempt to deconstruct them - using a bit of humour and analogies and quotes from Yes, Prime Minister. Hosted by: Chuck aka Deepak Gopalakrishnan: A guy who makes Powerpoints in an ad agency for a living, and does some random stuff on the side, including cartooning, BSchool-oriented comedy, teaching (!) and cycling. His Twitter handle is @chuck_gopal. Naren aka Narendra Shenoy: An industrial mogul (maybe) who is one of the funniest bloggers in the country (yes!). Well-traveled, well-read, well-opinionated, well-of-course is the sagacious Naren. Follow him at @shenoyn. We are proud to now be a part of the IndusVox Media Podcast network o/
