Planes, Trains and Lucrative Deals
This week on Lost In Postulation we discuss whether you should sit in an aisle or window seat on a plane, review Chris Rock’s recent Netflix special, encourage everyone to take up stand-up comedy and round things off with a listener mailbag! Check it out below 👇
It’s highbrow from the get-go as we start by asking where the best place to sit on a plane is (2:55) and end up discussing tactics for dealing with your row neighbors as well as night train shenanigans.
Then, in light of Chris Rock’s recent comedy special, it’s on to our core postulation, which sees claims of sweet validation for a previous prediction (12:19). We then go through the key takeaways from the live show in Baltimore (14:45) before ruminating on the state of comedy in 2023 (21:20) and why everyone should try standup at least once in their lives (26:20).
We round things off by showcasing some brilliant listener postulations that came through following our Happily Everest After episode (39:24).

Three months ago, we launched our podcast, Lost In Postulation, in an effort to provide listeners with a form of discussing pop culture that was note yet covered by other podcasts. We have been gradually growing our audience ever since and now want to branch out to the Medium community for feedback. Below we’ve compiled a few of our episodes from which you can get a taste for what we’re doing. Hope you enjoy!
One Hit Wonders
On our third episode we delved deep into the world of music by discussing the science behind one hit wonders as well as some of our all-time favorites.
Big Bets for 2023
On this two-part installment we discussed what 2023 would bring for the general pop culture. Topics ranged from the next big stars to the next season of Succession to Elon Musk and much more! We expect to be coming back on these predictions throughout the year, so stay tuned!
Film Scores
Here we dive deep on film scores from every angle starting by placing them within their historical context, rating the best composers and postulating on what makes a great score and the impact that can have on a movie.
The Mount Everest Podcast
In our latest and favorite recording thus far, we introduce the Ultimate Celebrity Everest Climb whereby a confluence of events brings the UN Security Council, Neil, a Nepali sherpa and a ragtag bunch of celebrities together in an effort to bring about a lasting world peace . After a debrief on the grueling journey, Neil dives into drafting his team from a wide-ranging list of athletes, world leaders, actors, musicians, authors and business people. Who will he choose to bring along for the adventure and what role will each of them play? The fate of the world remains in the balance.
