2022 updates: The World Cup, James Webb Telescope and more As we move into another revolution around the sun, we'd like to take a moment to look at some of the topics we spoke about over the last year, and update them!

A few weeks back, the Simblified gang were asked to do a live show for a podcasting event. We've captured the audio of the same to give you, our OG listeners, as a live episode (this is not generosity as much as laziness on our part).  What did we speak about? Well, we thought it being December, we'd encourage people to add content creation to their new year's resolutions. After all, if the 4 of us can do close to 300 (!!!!) episodes of this show, then anyone can create content. We give you our experience, our perspective, some references and hopefully some useful advice. If any of it actually works and you end up starting something, let us know so we can add it to the 'success stories' section of our non-existent website. Thank you for listening to Simblified through 2022, and hope you have a kickass next year!

We are living in a world with constantly increasing levels of BS. Some of it is probably amusing but more often than not, BS irritates, distracts and eventually diminishes the quality of our lives.

Layoffs, plummeting market caps, ambitious plans stalled, bad press... It looks like the majot tech firms just can't catch a break right now. Perhaps it's the universe restoring balance after a breathless upward trajectory for a few years? Perhaps it's people realising they don't need these companies anymore post Covid?  The astute tech observers that is the Simblified panel analyse, deconstruct and predict what might happen to Meta, Alphabet, Twitter (lol), Apple, Amazon, Microsoft and the likes. Will Big Tech be cut down to size? Will it become Medium Tech? Tune in to find out... Or well, hear some puns.

Four fun things. Many random discussions.So sometimes, we have a fun story, news story, fact or piece of trivia which we think is good Simblified fodder but not enough for a whole episode. So along came the idea of taking four of these and making them one episode! Introducing Simblified Half Pints: A freshly brewed new format where your four hosts will each bring one fact or story (or whatever, really) to the table and then we yak about it for 10-15 minutes. With the usual Simblified detours of bad jokes, anecdotes, and perhaps something profound too!  In this inaugural episode we look at sparkling water, the FIFA World Cup, anchovies and mosquitoes - thankfully not all at once. We hope you like this new format - let us know what you think. We plan to do this once a month.

For a music fan, there's nothing quite like a live performance. Whether you're the sort that zones out at a classical music show, enjoys happy vibes on the lawns of a sunset music festival, bouncing to a DJ, or letting it all out in a heavy metal moshpit in a seedy club while getting your glasses broken (too specific?) - there is SOMETHING about watching musicians on stage, making music together. Chuck, Srikeit and Naren do a completely unscripted episode about the power of live music, what it means to them, while taking a few deviations that are now par for the course in one of these conversations.  We hope you enjoy it, and let us know what your favourite live music gig was!This episode is dedicated to the person who accosted us during Independence Rock '22 and said they were "a fan of Simblified, but more a fan of Naren"!

There are literally hundreds of people who you should be listening to talking about the ambitious ONDC project - ecommerce experts, government officials, antitrust lawyers. But instead, you chose to listen to three rambling fools just trying to make as many puns as possible. And that's why we love you. Anyway, you might have heard of the Open Network for Digital Commerce, the much-vaunted "UPI of ecommerce" the government launched earlier this year. What is it, how does it work, and... Will it work? The armchair experts that are the Chuck, Naren and Tony explore. And yes, Naren's ice cream makes a return.A really good video that actually explains ONDC (not as many puns though) is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sp8NgDOT-tMAdd 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

How often have you felt the need to yell your head off at someone or reach out and slap someone?
