Podcasts by Odd Fish
Two college roommates, Pranav Subramanian and Rish Vasudevan, sit down once a week to discuss a wide variety of topics ranging from the flaws in our education system to ranking of Kanye West's albums. Although they are unqualified to speak on most of these issues, they strive to always bring a thought-provoking discussion to the table along with a healthy dose of clownery. If you're a new listener please start with our most recent episodes instead of from the beginning, we have gotten SO much better over time ;)
