Not an encyclopedia, just the opposite. Join hosts Becky Fleckner and Jed Krivisky on a hilarious and hard lean into ignorance as they explore common topics we know we don't know about. We probably should've learned these things in school, anyone can Google it, but isn't it more fun to just say "I dunno" sometimes? It's easy to learn things, it's even easier not to.

Becky Fleckner and Jed Krivisky
