Hope you enjoy watching this episode.

Super excited to introduce the team behind the new season of Simple Ken :) From my manager Erushka, to my OG sound maestro Nishant, to Vivian my editor/ DOP and Shreemayee the producer of the show, it takes a village to make the show happen! 

As season 2 comes to an end, I thought we could do a deep dive into to the BTS of how we shoot Simple Ken. Also deep dive on the world of artist management, content production and the overall growth of the Mumbai scene over the years.

My father is here! I feel extra happy to have my dad on the show cause he is an ardent viewer and listener of Simple Ken. We had actually recorded this episode before the 'Girl Dads' episode but ended up releasing that before. Ironically in that episode, Vaibhav mentioned doing a podcast with his father. Luckily, I am lucky enough to do one with my dad. We answered questions that you asked us from Youtube and Instagram. We spoke about how my dad supported my passion, being grandparents, the clarification of me falling out of the car and lot...

I have always wanted to bring all my comedian friends who have been blessed with daughters (and of course Biswa as well) to come together and discuss our experiences. It's easily the most fun episode of the season. It was a pleasure to discuss early days of father hood, lessons from other parents, grandparents , Instagram reel university and why all of us find non-parents very hard to deal with now. Hope you enjoy this episode and please share your experience with us.

Note: Would love for moms to also share their feelings watching this.

We have the lovely Gianmarco Soresi on Simple Ken! Our first international comedian on the show. As you expect, we dive deep into the difference between doing comedy in India and America, was he prepared for us, his love for Yoga and him subtly roasting my perfume line. Would love to know your thoughts on the episode in the comments.

Like any hit movie, It deserves to be turned into a franchise! So after the love for Rohan in his first appearance, we have brought him back for round 2: The Return. Unlike earlier where we dissected pop-culture themes, here we go deep into his own lore. From his return to stand up, his constant struggles with the BMC on the state of roads and his love for writing. If you are a fan of breaking down the creative process, you are heavily going to enjoy this!

It brings me great pleasure to have the amazing Kunal Khemu on SimpleKen! We had a lot of fun discussing films, the difference from being an actor to a director, being a father and of-course our love for motorcycles (apparently I don't have a shoddy collection of motorcycles). Hope you guys enjoy this episode as much as I did!

It was a blast to have Jonita on Simpleken! If you are a regular listener of the show, you can clearly see that this isn't a usual episode. Most of the time we are unintentionally roasting each other but we did talk about the aspects of being a  successful mainstream singer, producing your own indie album, working with legends like AR Rehman and stories of opening with massive artists.

My wife is back on the show! The first episode of the new season started with her and the episode was so well received! All of you in the comments asked for her return so here she is! We answer all the questions you asked us, Questions like  'does she feel normal after the baby, how we make time for each other, what traits we admire about each other' and many more things. It's a nice tight episode, hope you enjoy your weekend while listening to this :)

Deep diving into the mind of a musician like Ritviz is why I created Simple Ken. It's a long time coming! He was delighted to hear that we are only going to get into why we does what he does and how he gets there. Ritviz was my introduction to electronic music in India. It's incredible what he has achieved at such a young age. His songs like Udd Gaye, Thandi Hawa and of course Sage have become an integral part of our lives! We talk about how he composes, his relationship with his mother and how he hopes...

The second episode of Simple Ken Live is here! The OG panelists are back (Shamilk couldn't join us due to an unfortunate tree accident) but the debates and the fighting is back! Hope you guys enjoy this episode! From topics like Court Marriage to huge Marriage celebration, PDA vs no PDA and cheating in exams is wrong, We have a zesty show for you!

We have Kusha Kapila on Simple Ken! We have been friends off camera for a while and finally we had a chance to sit down and welcome her to the SimpleKen family. As you know, Kusha does a 1000 things, so this finally happening was a big treat :) We spoke about her love for food, perseverance in the field, her entrepreneurship journey and also the role we play in our friend groups. I hope you enjoy watching this episode as much as we loved making it :)

We finally have Yashraj on the show! The reason I say finally is because we have been friends for a while but due to the perils of chasing a career in Mumbai, we never had the luxury of time to sit down together and have a conversation. Well thanks to the new season of Simple Ken, we finally sit down and talk about the journey to mainstream success, meeting your idols and how Yash really really wants to make a sad song!

Having a podcast and not having Rohan Joshi on? I have finally absolved myself of my sins and invited The MOJOROJO on my long recording of me talking... Unlike other guests, Rohan will get a three part series. This is the first episode where we discuss pop-culture fictional characters that shaped our childhood! From Batman, Neo, Marty Mcfly to Mogambo and Mojojojo! Discussing even why we struggle creatively and how to take compliments. Please welcome Rohan to our simple ken family.

It's the first Simple Ken Live show! We put up the link to the tickets only to the Simple Ken Followers!  We couldn't do a better format than Two Type of People! We got such an amazing response to it with the last two episodes, So in the new season it comes back in an even better way!

The line up of these comics are my all time favourite people in my own life and I pinch myself that I get to work with them on stage as well!

Mr Kanan Gill is back! I don't know if many people know this but when I had come up with the idea of Simple Ken five years ago I wanted to co-host it with Kanan. It was something he felt he wouldn't be fully able to commit to but what ended happening was him being a regular part of it anyway. Now the episodes he features in are my personal favourites and also something the Simple Ken audience looks forward to! 

We talk about the reasons we started doing comedy, about our approach to money, about Nihilism, S...

I am legit screaming right now. Having Kartik come on Simple Ken feels so right. It’s why I made this show, So I could have conversations around art and what we love in such a deep (and indulgent) way. Kartikeya (you might know him from Autocar, Powerdrift and now MotorInc), Watching him on screen for so long and finally having him over at the house (and the studio) to indulge me in a conversation about our love for cars was like a personal reward for me. Hope you like this episode cause you can very clearly see my ex...

It's a new episode! SimpleKen is back with a new season! Who better to kick it off than my lovely wife Tracy :) We are shooting this at home where we have set up a permanent space for simpleken! 

We talk about being new parents, How being married is different from dating, Being with someone who is in the public eye and what do we do all day in our house? It's Tracy's first time on Simpleken and on a podcast, so please be kind! Send her reassuring comments and likes :)

Talking to Ankur Warikoo is exactly like experiencing his content online. He is on point, clear and very charismatic. You know him as a successful businessman and now a  full time content creator who talks about finance, motivation and recently health! We covered topics ranging from our relationship with money, the differences we see in generations and why trust is important at work and in your personal relationships. Hope you enjoy this conversation and let me know what parts engaged you the most!

I am very excited to introduce a new sub-format of Simpleken. Two types of people! This was inevitable cause having such funny friends leads to us playing a lot of games. So why not a comedic one? We have wonderful guests like  @AakashGupta ,  @ShreejaChaturvedi and  @shamikchakrabarti featuring in this one! 

A debate game where we choose a topic and defend it! We have topics from Outside food and Inside food to Relaxing holidays to an activity filled one! I don't want to spoil the rest! Hope you have fun watching it :)

I have been a big admirer of Anirban's writing for a long time. It's a shame I haven't hung out with him as much as I want to. This episode I wanted to explore a topic we seldom talk about in this episode (And not seen in most other online conversations)...being a first time dad as a millennial. Obviously having a child is primarily a mothers journey but why not talk about the clueless man next to his partner watching and wondering what does a father do in 2024? This conversation was fun, lighthearted and also quite nerdy considering...

It brings me great pleasure to release the first episode of Simpleken in 2024 with my close friend Kanan Gill. It's exciting to announce his first published novel "Acts of God" that is on sale right now on Amazon.

We talk about being trapped in blind spots, moisturising, recurring problems, self esteem , healthy relationship with work and suffering. As you can see, we covered a range of topics that most would call "alarming". Hope you enjoy this episode and hope you have a great new year ahead!

I learned the various aspects of friendship in this lovely conversation with Prashasti and Saurav. The way they support each other in ways that enable space, growth and also a chance to be vulnerable was so eye opening to me. Through out the episode I kept bringing up how envious I was of such a wonderful friendship. We also answered a lot of questions from the audience. A lot of laugh out loud moments in the episode with topics that are so specific to our lifestyle that I am so excited for all of you to watch it!

I am a fan. Hoezaay is the effortless comedian who blurs the line between artist and art. Hoezaay is funny and what Hoezaay does is also funny. The sweet, calm and chill vibe that he exudes is also what I got to experience while sitting down with him for the first time (Usually we are standing). I always wanted to pick his brain on many things like navigating through so many decades of being in the Indian entertainment business. We spoke about his family, how he started and his strictly financial goals. I hope you enjoy this episode.

It's good to be back after so long. After touring America and Europe I was itching to do a Simpleken episode. I had spoken to Nirmal and Abishek that I was very keen to pick their brains about their journey so far. I love also exploring what makes two very creative minds gravitate towards each other. They spoke about how they work together, feeling alienation from the scene and what the future lies for them. Hope you enjoy watching this as much as I did.

It's been 3 years! I had to celebrate this occasion (and Valentines Day) by bringing four experts on love, relationships and life for this episode. I was giddy with excitement to pick their brains on topics that I love over analysing. It's always a riot with 4 fine comedians. We got a collection of lovely questions from our audience including thoughts on cheating, parents, why we love and love languages. Hopefully you enjoy watching (or listening) to the 3 year anniversary episode of simpleton. Show your love in the comments and also on our BRAND NEW SIMPLE KEN Youtube page. Where we...

Having Vir on SimpleKen was a long time coming. I picked his brain on how he navigated through the initial days of his career, his support in the industry , how he deals with the constant press chatter and how he plans his steps ahead. A career that involves television, movies, music and stand up, An hour of conversation didn't feel enough. It was a great way to bring the new year in with a brand new episode.

In this solo episode, I share my biggest recent difficulty...Breaking up with friends! I also cover some recent life updates, the bubble of being single for too long and getting comfortable, the guilt of being somebodies child in India and how school goers are succumbing to serious mental health concerns.

A strictly "no advice" podcast.

It brings me great pleasure to welcome you into my most hardcore-comedy-friendship group. The conversations I have with Rohan, Shreemayee (Weepli) and Kumar could be too intense for the novice comedy viewer. As four comics who enjoy sarcasm, self aware gossip and over the top generalisations, I couldn't hold my excitement for this one. We talk about how we deal with the over load of information we receive on a daily basis, the misuse of "emotional investment" and get into a classic Kumar Varun rant at the end about artist and social media.

It's not everyday you have Mumbai high court lawyers on your show. Aneesa & Ranjeev also happen to be my closest friends. Adding to the mix is a producer from Vice India, my good friend Aniket Dasgupta.

This episode talks about how overwhelming understanding the law is, how ignorance of it isn't tolerated and what we can do to change our attitude towards it (or maybe we just pretend to). All of the guests (including me ) moved to Mumbai for our careers so there is a lot of millennial frustration of figuring out our lives while also getting...

In this episode, I got my favourites from each season of Comicstaan. I realised I would love to see the three different perspectives from comedians who have had their lives permanently changed by the show. 

We also take in questions from the audience about best friends, talking to our parents while they share their personal anecdotes about the comedy scene in India and their own beliefs they had to get over.

A episode where me focus on questions sent from mostly young teens. An age where you are super confused and begging for some clarity from the world and yourself. This episode marks moving back to Mumbai from Goa and the adjustment that followed. 
Finished up my honeymoon in Europe and back to making videos for my lovely audience. 
We cover topics such as expressing grief, dating young, career paths and just figuring what you love. 
Hope you enjoy the episode.

It's a crime that we haven't called back my friend and legend Biswa. We have the most emotionally fuelled conversations in private that shooting one in front of camera is a no brainer.  We talk about some of my favourite topics like profiting from art, authenticity, success and of-course why things are cringe. A very sarcastic, raw and chaotic episode of Simpleken. Hope you enjoy this long podcast!
