I thought it would be interesting to dive into the extensive and infamous filthy frank lore that is arguably one of the strangest and profound art pieces to come out of the internet culture. Hence, I just listed the events of the filthy frank lore up until the book. AND special thanks to Shivangi kale who helped with the vocals on the new intro.

Since I was binging Bill Burr on Netflix over the week and I am struggling to find things for this podcast; Enjoy a story about a strange relation between me having almost comical surreal dreams after watching his specials.

For Episode 29,  I visited a story from the longest Epic ever written in human history - Mahabharata. We look at the death of Bhishma, a General in the Kuru army who's life in itself was the reason for a 200,000 verse long poem; and how it cemented a place for the Gender Non-conformists in the Hindu culture.

While I know that I don't do this kind of content, it bugged me enough to get me talking about it on the interwebs. everyone knows Pewdiepie as the biggest content creator on YouTube with almost 94 million subscribers on his channel as of this recording.  The twist in the tale is, that he's deemed a white nationalist and racist all across the internet by different groups of people because of...

Episode 27 of the Podcast follows the trend of talking about things I think about a lot. Quite randomly, the 1936 Olympics seem like a party that would've been the fodder for memes all day and all night long if it was in today's time. That's it, It's just me talking about that exact sentiment for 11 minutes straight.  The Name of the athlete I forgot the name of: Jesse Owens! Vsauce Video I t...

For Episode 26 of The Deep Fried Neurons Podcast, Contextualize the conflicts in narrative in literature with time and how their relevance has evolved across history.

On the 25th Episode of the Deep Fried Neurons Podcast, I rant about an existential question I was unprepared to tackle. With a vague understanding of how capable an AI can be, what being human means and what exactly is the human experience; I try to make sense of whether doing the right math could make my necessity even in the societal terms completely useless. Hope I asked more questions than I a...

For Episode 24 of the Podcast, we take a fairly deep dive on one of the most controversial political figures to ever exist in India. Phoolan Devi was the Member Of Parilament twice for Mirzapur, Uttar Pradesh. Besides that, she also became a face of resistance against oppression of women and the lower castes during her time of operation. Her story sounds awfully like an Anti-hero movie, which was...

Episode 23 of Deep Fried Neurons Podcast explores the philosophical literature put down by Albert Camus. The Podcast sort of started because I wanted to talk about what I think about at 3 AM in the morning, and thinking about existentialist philosophy is sort of one of my favourites in that aspect. So, I thought I'll drag down my listeners with me to question what does it mean to be alive. Hope yo...

Episode 22 of the Deep Fried Neurons briefly introduces you to the mythological story that Hinduism maintains as the understanding of the creation of the universe.

Episode 19 of the Podcast went a little topical. I found a news piece so interesting that I couldn't help but move the episode I was working on forward and make an episode on the said story. Raphael Samuel gained a lot of attention and raised a lot of eyebrows when he announced that he is going to sue his parents for giving him birth without his consent. This leads to a conversation about Anti-nat...

For Episode 18, I just talked a while about information, censorship and the power dynamic around the same. While I am against censorship and truly believe that information should be as free and accessible as it can be, I don't particularly know how to deal with the chaotic consequences of the same. I just thought I could rant about the same for 12 minute straight. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lis...

In Episode 17, we revisit the Joshi - Abhyankar murders of 1976; that shocked Suburban Pune to its core.
