Rohan Joshi : Comedian

Rohan Joshi, aka mojorojo, is one of India's most recognizable faces in the alternative culture space. He is best known for being a stand-up comic who co-founded the popular collective AIB. Having followed his work (and Instagram) for years, I've found him to be thoughtful, well-read and empathetic, and his interests wide-ranging. He made for an ideal guest for this show. I also owe the idea of this show to him - as will be revealed in the episode. And yes, we also discuss cats.In this episode, Rohan and I discuss:Rohan's experiences as a comedian, teacher and journalism studentHaving a "finite well of energy" and maximising itStarting the day on a great note, with a simple hackThe importance of structure in life Dealing with the fame that came with the astronomical rise of AIBAllowing yourself the luxury of letting your mind wanderRealistic goals and enjoying the rideSeveral, several recommendations.Everything Rohan Joshi:His Instagram :- http://instagram.com/mojorojoHis stand-up special, Wake N Bake :-https://www.primevideo.com/region/eu/detail/Rohan-Joshi-Wake-N-Bake/0HBV1LQ0YG7B1SKWJ05R1RWF4XThe comedy collective he co-founded, All India Bakchod or AIB :- https://www.youtube.com/user/allindiabakchodHis talk at Spoken Fest 2020 :- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXvQX3MNcmcHis Wikipedia page, which he found out existed while we were recording! :- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rohan_JoshiRohan’sRecommendationsWhen you’re feeling down: Ted Lasso :- https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10986410/Breathe, You’ve Got This (A happy music playlist by Rohan Joshi)Spotify :- https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0vmojCbhKVpG72NROzyBeD?si=YSNVTDGpTMOAzNVNy3kzfw&nd=1Apple Music :- https://music.apple.com/in/playlist/breathe-you-got-this/pl.u-V9D7v6dc1jDBgJJioSaavn :- https://www.jiosaavn.com/s/playlist/2608d82934c1d12eb5efccf46ebc7927/Breathe!_You_got_this!_By_Rohan_Joshi/SuQCbefMjW3femJ68FuXsA__?referrer=svn_source%3Dshare&svn_medium=com.instagram.android&utm_source=share&utm_medium=com.instagram.androidBill Bryson - A Short History of Nearly Everything :-Goodreads :- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/21.A_Short_History_of_Nearly_EverythingAmazon :- https://www.amazon.in/Short-History-Nearly-Everything-Bryson-ebook/dp/B0035OC7VI/ref=reads_cwrtbar_2?pd_rd_w=h7uJZ&pf_rd_p=5497cfe3-a40a-489d-b118-f355c8c4a154&pf_rd_r=XS4M4ZYJXB088TQ63RYW&pd_rd_r=58eebdfd-f179-4253-9989-38e8a9fae28d&pd_rd_wg=wrYax&pd_rd_i=B0035OC7VI&psc=1Bill Bryson - The Body: A Guide for Occupants :-Goodreads :- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/43582376-the-bodyAmazon :- https://www.amazon.in/Body-Guide-Occupants-Bill-Bryson-ebook/dp/B07MCVWXDKFredrik Backman - A Man Called Ove :- Goodreads :- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18774964-a-man-called-oveAmazon :- https://www.amazon.in/Man-Called-Ove-life-affirming-bestseller-ebook/dp/B00IORP664/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=fredrik+backman+-+aman+called+ove&qid=1618376781&s=digital-text&sr=1-1Cosmos :- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjLgTvD8kFE&list=PLtvRfQfTh1K8M9Jrk7LPRhvKLgvJqdNfAJim Can’t Swim :-https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYwVxWpjeKFWwu8TML-Te9AOther references made during the show, not in order:The Overview Effect which Rohan speaks of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overview_effectSeth Stephens-Davidowitz - Everybody Lies: Big Data, New Data, and What the Internet Can Tell Us About Who We Really Are Goodreads :- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28512671-everybody-lies Amazon :- https://www.amazon.in/Everybody-Lies-Internet-About-Really/dp/0062497499/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=everybody+lies&qid=1618373334&sr=8-1Jim’ll Paint It :- https://twitter.com/JimllpaintitMonkeyDust (TV series, not available online)Getting Meta links: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/40Vo30aQilVrxEOkoSmDjx?si=pCOPeJlcR0uN_g2ZZs8iLQ&dl_branch=1Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/getting-meta/id1573882113Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9zdGF0aWMuYWRvcmlsYWJzLmNvbS9mZWVkL2dldHRpbmctbWV0YS54bWwIVM website: https://shows.ivmpodcasts.com/show/getting-meta-y2rb-RtSzWNdzZ8i99R2QFollow your host on the following social handles:Twitter: twitter.com/chuck_gopalInstagram: instagram.com/chuckofalltradesEmail: [e-mail] omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
