3 Techies Banter #3TB

From the GPS in your delivery app to the weather forecast that saves your picnic, space tech is the invisible force that already runs our world. We journey from the Cold War's flag-planting race to today's $600 billion gold rush, where private companies and nations like India are turning the cosmos into a construction zone. We'll explore how space evolved from a superpower's trophy case to a startup's playground, with rocket launches getting 97% cheaper and a 90-year-old Captain Kirk finally getting his seat.

Meet the pioneers who built satellites for social good, not just showmanship, and peek into a future of microgravity manufacturing and cosmic debris cleanup. Plus: why your phone needs GPS but your remote doesn't, what the "Great Filter" says about our cosmic loneliness, and what happens when we litter in orbit (spoiler: a minefield for satellites). One planet to rule them all – if we can stop cluttering the sky and start looking beyond it.

Apollo-gies for the Space Puns | #3TBPodcast

What would you say if we told you that tuning yourself to a metronome is better for your health than that gym membership? We sit down with Tanuja Gomes, the founder of Furtados School of Music, who convinces us that formal music education isn’t scary or snobby—it’s a friendly on‑ramp for toddlers, teens, busy parents, and “I‑wish‑I‑started‑earlier” adults. If you can boil water, you can keep a beat. 

Tanuja tells us how the simple act of signing up for music teaches consistency, discipline, and the underrated art of showing up. Our conversation has the usual light-heartedness of three friends chatting. Tune in. This episode might be the calling you were waiting for to start your musical journey from today. 

Do we detect feet tapping suspiciously in the rhythm of 1-2-3-4?

F⁠urtados & Furious: How to Scale Music Ed While Everyone Else Plays It Safe

Who teaches AI how to see and recognise? Definitely not a techie in a cool office in Silicon Valley. Most likely, it is a homemaker from a marginalised community in rural India who does this tedious work for very low pay. 

In his debut feature film "Humans in the Loop," director Aranya Sahay explores this vital detail that got left out of the "AI Revolution" marketing materials. The film follows Nehma, an Adivasi woman from Jharkhand who takes a job labelling data for AI systems. Turns out, teaching machines to recognise the world is a lot like raising a kid; except this kid absorbs prejudices from centuries of Western datasets, with no plan to augment it with context-specific knowledge. Esp. not from the labellers :-). 

The film has won major accolades, including Best Film at the Bengaluru International Film Festival and Grand Jury Prize for Best Feature at the Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles. Have fun watching the episode!

The Algorithm Whisperers of Jharkhand | ft. Aranya Sahay | #3TBPodcast

From powering your 3 AM doom-scroll to preventing actual doom (climate change), batteries are the unsung heroes who quietly run the world. We journey from the oil crisis of the '70s to Nobel Prize-winning lithium-ion tech that made your smartphone possible – and might save the planet. We'll explore how these tiny energy lunchboxes evolved from exploding prototypes to $300k Tesla packs, and now cost $7k (a 97% price drop). 

Meet the scientists who cracked the code, and peek into a future of solid-state batteries and sodium-ion rivals. Plus: why your remote lasts forever, your phone dies by 4 PM, and what happens when you toss batteries in the bin (spoiler: landfill fires). One battery to power them all – if we can recycle responsibly and mine ethically.

Because even Frodo needed a power bank for that walk to Mordor. 🔋⚡

Lord of the Lithiums: The Fellowship of the Charge | #3TBPodcast | Season 4 Episode 1

Season 4 of 3 Techies Banter is here, and we're finally putting faces to the voices you've been tolerating for three seasons – because nothing says "we've made it" like watching three people in their 50s gesture wildly at cameras while debating whether Web3 is dead or just hibernating.

We might go delightfully off-script: the psychology of why developers have strong opinions about tabs vs spaces, how TikTok算法 accidentally created a new form of folk art, why Silicon Valley VCs are suddenly into longevity science and mushroom coffee, the game theory of group chats, whether your Spotify Wrapped says more about you than your therapy sessions, and why every tech bro suddenly thinks they're a philosopher after reading one Nassim Taleb book. 

With video, we might even unleash live demos that will either blow your mind or spectacularly crash on air, reaction cams for those "did they really just say that?" moments, and the occasional meme break because let's be honest - tech is too serious and we're definitely not. 

We are covering it all with the same chaotic energy that's kept you coming back, now with 100% more awkward eye contact.

3 Techies Banter | Season 4 Teaser | India’s Award-Winning Fun-tech Podcast

Join us in the Season 3 Finale episode, where we reminisce about our favourite moments from the podcast! From the hilarious creation of the jingle episode (an all-round friends and family collaboration) to deep dives into the impact of AI on graphics and the fashion industry, this episode is packed with lots of laughs and a wee bit of insights. We also tackle the tricky business of AI "bullshitting" and how machines love to please, even if it means getting things wrong.
PS - Liars care about the truth (to hide it), bullshitters just want to impress or persuade, truth be damned! Welcome to GenAI.
Plus, a little humble bragging about the awards we have won and a sneak peek into plans for shaking things up in the next season.
We can’t wait to be back in Season 4. Until then…

S3 Finale Episode: Fun, Follies, and a Fresh Look at Tech

From absurd web beginnings to some misplaced national pride, tech folklore never disappoints. A mouthful of a name that could make even the most patient typist weep, "Jerry and David's Guide to the World Wide Web," could have single-handedly crashed Netscape Navigator. Meanwhile, the digital world's party crasher, Error 404's origin story - linked to CERN's room 404 - proves even glitches have intriguing backstories.

Closer to home, Nilesh's trip to Mumbai's Panjrapur water plant uncovered a juicy tidbit about BMC's potential entrepreneurial foray in the water business. And Sheetal's pilgrimage to Toronto's Bata Shoe Museum shattered our collective illusion - turns out, our favourite "Indian" shoe brand has been international all along, leaving millions of Indians feeling somewhat... misled.

We remain your #funtech companion through traffic jams, morning jogs and side-listens during boring Zoom meetings.

3TB Shorts 23: Error 404, BMC Water Works and the Bata Museum

Join us as we unpack the irony of the word for the fear of long words. Surprise Surprise - it is a really long word - we will just call it "hippo-fear". Explore the most significant tech flops of 2024 (spoiler: not even AI could save them), and delve into the hazards of space burping — because in zero gravity, what goes down doesn't necessarily stay down.
Expect a rollercoaster of laughs, lessons, and just the right amount of absurdity as we uncover why some things are better left un-burped, un-coded, and definitely unpronounced!

3TB Shorts 22: ⁠FunTech Fails, Long Word Fears and Space Burps

The first Indian podcasts were like arranged marriages - everyone was a bit awkward, and no one knew what to expect, but hey, at least the family was supportive! As podcasts gained traction, they soon had podcasts for every niche.
We've got celebrity podcasts where Bollywood stars share their deep thoughts, like how difficult it is to find the right shade of beige for their 15th luxury car. Tech-savvy grandpas are starting "back in my day" podcasts, reminiscing about when "viral" was something you didn't want to be. And let's not forget the rise of regional language podcasts. Why stick to Hindi or English when you can confuse Alexa with 20+ languages?
As we look to the future, the possibilities are endless. The future of the Indian podcasting scene is like a good biryani—it took a while to prepare, it's got a mix of everything, and it leaves you wanting more.
Catch our episode that talks all about it on your favourite podcasting platforms and our YouTube channel.

The Podcast Report 2023-24

Before our ancestors could argue about who left the cave door open, they were already cracking up. Laughter came way before language — it's prehistoric Wi-Fi, connecting us without a single word. And it’s not just us! Apes giggle during playtime, rats squeak with joy when tickled, and dolphins? Well, they’ve got their own aquatic stand-up routines going on. Turns out, laughter really is the original universal language — even before we had words to mess it up! 🦧🐀🐬

Onto the life of a tennis ball 🎾 in a Grand Slam after it has survived the thundering serves of the pros. These balls are typically used for just 7 to 9 games before they're swapped out—because, you know, even tennis balls need a “break at some point” 🤣. So, what happens to them after they’ve done their bit for the tournament? Souvenirs? Donated to clubs? In the paws of a very happy dog? Who knows.

And finally, your acidic stomach, which is your body's very own self-defence ninja. It is a Germ Slayer against harmful bacteria and pathogens that might hitch a ride on your food. It is a Toxic Avenger (think of that questionable sushi), that breaks down and eliminates the toxins; a detox squad on call 24/7. And we have our own view on what else it might be useful for. Aways!!!

And that is a broad summary of what you will find once you click the play button.

 We are guessing that the "Naughty" in the title is what got you hooked. That is smart sales personship (note gender neutrality here 😉 ). Or another set of super interesting stories from the "House of 3TB". This is inspired by the calls we get from the "House of Abhinandan Lodha" to buy houses we cannot afford.
 Not sure why they are not calling from the office, though 🤣🤣🤣.
 So get busy listening.
