Ep. 25: All you need(ed) to know about the Brexit

Simblified ·

2016/06/27

Of course, by the time you hear this podcast, all the brouhaha around the Brexit is done, and all the jokes have been made. But in case you don't know what the whole damn thing is - then welcome to our show. We take you through why some people want to leave the EU. Why some people want to stay in the EU. What is the goddamn EU. Heck, what is the bloody UK?! All this and more - with the usual smattering of poor jokes. Do you have feedback for us? Do you love us? Do you want to get Chuck out of the

Ep. 24: Simblified Shorties

2016/06/20

Introducing our new format: The same nonsense, but less of it (almost). Every alternate week, we do a smaller episode, answering one question. This week, we see why electronics are to be switched off on takeoff and landing. Don't lie, you've kept your phone on all throughout. But does it matter? Well, we tell you. And by 'we', we mean Chuck and Siddhant, our effervescent producer, since Naren is away tending to his factories (No, that's not an innuendo) (we think). Join Chuck and Sid while they

Ep. 23: A left-handed podcast

Simblified ·

2016/06/13

Southpaws are fascinating! Chuck does a bit of reading up about the cool 10% of our population and brings out myths, facts, stigmas and more. Along with that are the usual smatterings of poor jokes and Yes Minister references. If you're a lefty, you'll love this episode. If you're a righty, heck, you'll also love the episode.

Ep. 22: River linking and such contentious issues

Simblified ·

2016/06/06

What exactly is river linking? Is it the solution to all our problems? Is it a terribad idea? Is it just something the Congress and BJP plays table tennis with? Who knows? Well we do (sort of) and you can, too! Listen to Naren expound on what the topic is all about, and Chuck's attempts at poetry. (Sorry in advance). If you like us, then let us know!

Ep. 21: The convoluted process that is the US Elections

Simblified ·

2016/05/30

"How did a misogynistic, xenophobic, bad-at-business, loudmouth get to be the presidential candidate of a party that once had Abe Lincoln", we hear you ask? Well, the US Elections have a way of confounding us - starting with the process itself. Which is what we're gonna have a look at, over here. Naren's done a lot of reading to Simblify the process for you. Tell us what you think of Simblified and win a free customized poor joke from Chuck.

Ep. 20: AI-la... It's artificial intelligence!

Simblified ·

2016/05/23

So what exactly is AI? Our ticket to a glorious decadent future, or are we just going to be ruled by a bunch of mad robots? Join Chuck and Naren as they explore this science which isn't as new as you might think it to be. We look at the technology, a few examples and of course - some terrible puns. But first, of course, we start with Chuck's longstanding mancrush on Elon Musk (sigh, give it up, mate). We wanna hear your feedback on the show. Best piece of feedback wins a hug from us.

This week, we have a very unique guest on the show - one of our closest friends - Mohan Krishnamoorthy (@mohank). He's a - get this - PhD in mathematics. No no no! Don't turn off the episode just yet. He's a ton of fun and sheds light into what he actually does. He's also hilarious, and manages to out-Chuck Chuck with some absolutely hair-tearing-out puns. He's an avid trekker and loves music - so we talk about those as well. Chuck explains the math behind music and wonders why guitars aren't used

A niche store for selling just headphones and earphones? One that's successful? Without all that VC funding nonsense?! You kiddin' me? Well, that's what Raghav Somani of HeadphoneZone has managed to pull off. An 8th generation entrepreneur (!), he loves music and saw a huge opportunity in this space. Today, audiophiles all around the country pray to him for bringing some of the best brands from around the world to their shores. He talk to Chuck (who is a self-confessed audiophile who considers

2016/05/02

We touch upon the touchy topic of reservations - how they came to be about, are they still relevant today, and importantly - whether they've worked. In addition, we look at the current craze sweeping the nation. No, not IPL (thankfully) but mangoes. Plus, a headline that made us go all lolz over the course of the week. We end with a lovely article we read about naive realism (http://timharford.com/2016/04/delusions-of-objectivity/) and a word that all MBAs should know. You need not feel reserved

Yes, this is about encryption. Recently your Whatsapp went all 'we're secure, yo!' - but what does this actually mean? What does encryption mean?

Ep. 15: Panning Panama

Simblified ·

2016/04/18

Last week, much furore happened since the who's who of the world were named in something called the Panama Papers. Much outrage followed, without too many people understanding what exactly was happening. So we try and break that down for you, along with a look at shell companies. Additionally, good ol' Raghu has been tweaking with some numbers at the RBI - we tell you what this means for you. If nothing else, you should listen to this episode for Naren's amazing rap.sarcasmSee

Ep. 13: We get all Hyperloopy!

2016/04/04

Is the future of urban transport going to be revolutionized? Elon Musk (that man again!) hopes so, with his concept Hyperloop. You might be wondering what this is all about, so let Chuck and Naren decode the whole damn thing for you, as you sit in your, um, car or Mumbai local train. Also - why cats miaow (reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeUM1WDoOGY) and the origin of the word beer (hic!) Love us? Hate us?

Recently, there was a bit of brouhaha in the Parliament about something called the Aadhar Bill. What is it? Why is it important? How many jam puns can you make in a minute? Chuck and Naren, your messiahs of deconstructing the world around you, are here with all these answers and more. Apart from these, we look at some ridiculous Guinness records, and an effect which you better hope you don't have.

Simblified ·

2016/03/21

Ever been confused about how many pixels you actually need? Do megapixels matter? OF COURSE THEY DO but probably not as much as you thought. Today, we look at these complicated terms and importantly, how you as a buyer needs to look out for them. Oh, and we do some other nonsense as well - like wondering if we could consume sweat lassi (yes, you read that right), Chuck speaking in a robot voice to appease his future overlords, the connection between goats and cabs, and (fascinatingly enough)

Do you like this? You can now also wow this, sad this and angry this. Be prepared as social media misunderstandings could take an astronomical leap thanks to the social network's newest buttons. We look at them, and the impact of FB on emotions. We also look at a technology which might eventually mean a trip to Jupiter is just a feature film's worth of time away, an inescapable PG Wodehouse reference about hangovers (inspired by this

So what was this budget thing all about? Don't worry, we have no clue either! But that won't stop us from recording a podcast about it. So join us as we attempt to read behind what Arun Jaitley had to offer last Monday. Also, we look at Leap Year Day and the fascinating company that is Buzzfeed - you won't believe what happens next!

Just what on earth is this cryptocurrency thing that everyone is talking about? Should I care? Will my sabjiwala ask me to pay him in virtual currencies? Chuck and Naren explore what this technology is. Also, we look at the biggest ecommerce day in the world, the word onomatopoeia (so beautiful!), and the internet of medicine (the full article here:techcrunch.com/2016/02/16/the-in…he-doctor-ordered) If you like the show (or even hate it!) or have any feedback, ping us on Twitter: @chuck_gopal and
