Episode 4 - Entertainment, stand-up, content creation, the holocaust, having the courage to be disliked, stolen bicycles and Movies with Kashyap Swaroop
Once upon a time, in a galaxy far far away, the human overlords of planet Earth are locked in a vicious battle with the virulent army of COVID. Forced to retreat to their shelters, the human 'race' has had to slow down, and reassemble their actions to find a 'new normal', the promised age when things will start feeling okay again. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ This time I'm chillin with Kashyap Swaroop, the only one in his family of 3 who doesn't have a National Award, his Father, Mother and Sister all have at-least one. He's trying hard though by writing and being a joke, stand-up comedian, producer, digital marketer and rehabilitated cynic. We talk about a whole ton of things: how COVID could change the way we consume live entertainment, the stand-up industry, content creation, his father Kamal Swaroop's first movie Om Dar-Ba-Dar, the holocaust, having the courage to be disliked, stolen bicycles and the environment.
