Leftover Lasagne with Nitin & Tony

Sam Altman got into trouble with Her this week, prompting Nitin and Tony to ask the question - what is copyright, what are its contours, and how do we deal with it? Surely, derivative content based on original art enhances it - but on the other hand, lawyers can get you hard cash for your IP. Which way do we lean? And what has our own journey been? All this and more, in ep 11 of Leftover Lasagne. Feat: Ilayaraja, YogiB, Anu Malik and others Leftover Lasagne is available wherever you listen to or watch podcasts / talk shows.

Sam Pitroda waded into controversy a few days back with his comments on the physical resemblance the people of India have to Africans, Arabs, Chinese and Europeans. Tony and Nitin dive into the complex manner in which we process, react to and practice (yes, we all do!) racism. What makes human beings innately racist? Is it our animal instinct, or is it just human nature? Why do we break into accents when we speak to Westerners? How do we reckon with the strange relationship between race and 'races', ie sporting excellence? Join us as we talk about the N word, the origins of slavery, "why we all look the same to you", Zionism, anti-Semitism, and why they aren't necessarily the opposite of each other... And a lot more. If we have said some stuff here that's wrong, before cancelling us, please let us know in the comments. Oh, and do watch Premalu. And Aavesham. And any Malayalam film you can find.

Godwin's Law states that "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1". Thankfully, this podcast hasn't descended into that particular type of madness. Yet! In episode 9, Tony and Nitin ponder upon the challenges of content moderation that the open internet faces, and how that challenge shapes online discourse, and how recent developments in tech are changing the nature of moderation. As always, we turn our gaze inward, look at how we self-moderate our behaviour depending on the setting, and go on to acknowledge our own guilt in our inability to nurture online spaces that are safer for women... We also doff our hats at the more sensible sex for finding a way to navigate and thrive in a world that's largely designed by and for men.

In episode 8 of LoL, Nitin and Tony bring the Latin, the Pig Latin, and the highfalutin. We layer on the phrase ad hominem, to talk about fallacious arguments and false advertising, the science of communication, and the communication of science.  We explore why we’re prone to consuming the world around us through badly framed headlines, and what we can do about it. And why the best paradox involving a cat is not Schrodinger’s. Grab a plate, and join us!

Have you ever wondered why self-aggrandising LinkedIn posts never get called out? Aren't we all guilty, contributing to the glut with our own complicit C4BRs? What's it about the corporate world, that makes us dress up, speak and behave so differently from 9 to 5 on weekdays? Does the term 'work-life balance' imply that work is ... the opposite of life? It's a complicated world where Assistant Vice Presidents and Senior Associate Directors hustle all day, looking to hire rockstar developers and experienced product ninjas to join their rocket-ships and man their war-rooms. Tony and Nitin wade in, and try to figure out how the masks we wear and the stories we tell ourselves at work are closely linked to our purpose, and our sense of self.  If you like this podcast, please leave us 5 stars, and let your friends know. At the very least, #C4BR! Leftover Lasagne is hosted by Tony Sebastian and Nitin Sundar. We are available wherever you get your podcasts. Find us at https://linktr.ee/leftoverlasagne

Why does the West look at the developing world with a unhealthy mix of condescension and hypocrisy? In Episode 6, Tony and Nitin try to find out. They row their kayak through the rivers of recent history, encountering patches of surreptitiously exported garbage even as they make stops along the banks to regard the bounteous fauna, notably the Namibian rhino and the Botswanian elephant. And when they urgently need to go, they use a portable butt spray instead of toilet paper because, hey - that's what civilised people do. We are available in video form on Youtube and Spotify, as well as pure audio everywhere else. Tell your friends about us, please? :-)

In episode 5 of Leftover Lasagne, we finally decide it's time to explain what the show is about. With an episode that's nothing like anything we've done before, we realise that the true motto of the show can be summarised as "Fuck around and find out". Join us, Nitin and Tony, as we talk about why we like a good argument. And try to deconstruct how and why we outrage, using the Zomato Pure Veg labelling as an example. Also, what does it mean to age well? What do we believe in now that we didn't earlier. Will we ever stop asking questions? Probably not. Will there be clear cut answers? Well... ** Follow us Nitin: https://twitter.com/knittins Tony: https://twitter.com/notytony | https://www.instagram.com/notytony

How do you prepare for an episode on which you discuss serendipity? Our intrepid hosts Nitin and Tony have decided to just show up and hit the I'm feeling lucky button on Google.

Robert F Kennedy once said, "Some men see things as they are and ask, "Why?" Tony and Nitin look at things as they are, and ask - why don't we make a podcast episode?" (Citation needed) So here we are, in Episode 3, in which we question silly conventions. Why are people referred to with their surnames and not their first names? Why do perfectly sane human beings wear ties, or need daylight savings time? Why doesn't Tony get kicked out of Starbucks more often? Is Nitin the answer to the question - when will we have self-driving cabs? Tell your enemies about our podcast, so that you can get them to waste some time. But kindly, also ask them to give us 5 stars and hit the bell icon. This is a new podcast and a labour of love.
