In this month's episode of not-from-Faking-News, US prisoners fall in love with in-jail chips so much they're willing to risk re-incarceration for a bite. What are these chips? Where can you get them? Why are chips so goddamn tasty (evil corporations!)? What the hell are MRPs apart from prices that pubs never seem to follow? This week's shortie tells you all that and more.

We'd love to hear from you. So ping us on @chuck_gopal and @shenoy and tell us what you think of Simblified.

Ep. 40: Chips to Kill for (no, really)

9 years, ~320 episodes.
4 co-hosts, 6 producers, so many folks behind the scenes.
Some 50 guests, thousands (!) of listeners, hundreds of thousands (!!!!) of downloads.

Well, folks, it's time for the curtains to fall on our little show. Simblified started as an exercise to stave off some boredom long back in Malad with nothing more than the voice recorded app on an Android phone, and our idea of sound engineering was turning off the fan. Along the way, we've collected two more co-hosts and apparently many fans! It's finally time to bid goodbye.

But before we go, we owe you one final episode and it's an absolute doozy and dare I say our most emotional one yet. We delve into the reasons why we're stopping the show, what each of us has taken away from hosting it, and importantly, what more we are up to. Because we don't intend to stop creating content anytime soon - the Simblified Cinematic Universe will include new podcasts, newsletters, books (!), and who knows what else. The four hosts remain massive friends and there's no doubt something involving a combination will surface somewhere soon. The episode also features some absolutely touching voice notes from fans and folks who made the show possible. On that note, a massive shout out to our partners at IVM Podcasts, without whom this show would have probably died 300 episodes ago.

Thank you to everyone who listened, and recommended, and wrote in to us. We joke that there were 5 Simblified listeners, but we know there are many more. Some of you have even come up to us at music festivals, some have made joke websites for us, and for many of you it's part of your Monday schedule! We're genuinely humbled and thrilled that we had such an impact on your lives and apparently the entire podcasting ecosystem.

Aaaaand we're taking a break.

Remember the 2020-2022? That was one heck of a time - and while we were living through it, it felt like EVERYTHING was changing and would stay that way for ever.
Well, it's now halfway through 2023 and... Things feel like the old normal, not the new one, in many cases.

The Simblified gang try to make sense of this: a discussion that traverses many topics we've spoken about in the last few years: medicine, physicality, remote work, supply chains and a lot more. Join in as we try to make sense of the world we're in now.

Add 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.
