It's Not That Deep but Let's Start Digging Meghana Gorti & Phoebe Wang
-
- Society & Culture
In each episode, Meghana and Phoebe ramble vaguely about a topic of their choosing for two hours. Sometimes they repeat topics. Sometimes they forget what the topic is. Sometimes, or actually most of the time, they talk about something tangentially related. But at least they try.

5: Art with Jumana
In this guest episode, Meghana and Phoebe are joined by Jumana, who chooses to talk about art, the art world, and anything else that pertains to it. Meghana is slightly out of their depth. Phoebe uses this as an excuse to talk about one of their favorite art pieces. Jumana is introduced to the technical difficulties of recording remotely. They all truly apologize for everything.

4: Philosophy in Literature (1/?)
In this episode, Phoebe chooses to discuss something they have no right spending so much time thinking about: literary theory. Meghana talks about books they read during their time in compulsory education. Phoebe reads and paraphrases from Wikipedia pages. They both read from their own individual essay they wrote in high school, only to find out their interests are more similar than they thought.

3: K-Pop as a Geopolitical Force
In this episode, Meghana chooses to talk about k-pop, but as a geopolitical force and not as a genre. Phoebe derails the conversation by talking about Beyblade: Metal Saga as if they're still in sixth grade. Meghana disses astrology and wonders if it's Pluto or Mercury that can be in retrograde (it's both). They both say things they will 100% be attacked for, but please don't attack them unless they said something factually incorrect, in which case please link sources.

2: The Trolley Problem with Shaye
In the first guest episode, Meghana and Phoebe are joined by Shaye to discuss the trolley problem. It quickly goes awry, and they never really recover. Shaye searches for the title of a video game. Meghana considers something from the pilot. Phoebe reads from an essay they wrote half a year ago. Your mom makes a guest appearance?!

1: markwardo (1/?)
In the first main episode, Meghana and Phoebe discuss one of their favorite movies, and they talk about little else. Phoebe first complains about midterms. Meghana discusses product placement in TV shows. They barely begin to cover their thoughts on The Social Network in these ninety minutes.

0: Pie-lette
In the pilot episode of their podcast, Meghana and Phoebe talk about the premise and format of their show, introduce themselves and their interests, and explain the history of the show. Meghana forgets all their interests. Phoebe explains how lightboards work. Hopefully, they actually got around to explaining the premise of their show.
