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.

Im curious if there are colleges that run more like the US model in India? any examples?
Chuck - I'm not a fan of MBA schools but I think they provide valuable education for large company employee life in non technical and managerial fields. Also networking had a bad rep and you the out the straw man agrument for it.
Not much of a traveller, but some of my work trips were far more memorable than vacations I took. Thats because during work trips I had to interact with people, stop and give a thought about the surroundings instead of obsessing over itinerary on a typical vacation. I can't believe someone had to spell it out for me to realise this.
ADDICTED.

Dear Hosts, please do not derail the topic. All I hear is your discussion instead of the main guest.
I am in the process of checking ticket trends for Sri Lanka (my first 'overseas' trip) and the tickets for even 4 months away are really expensive on all ticket platforms. Tried the wikitravels page as i was listening to this and saw 50% reduction in prices! Thanks!
