Welcome to the I Just Don‘t Know podcast!
This is a podcast about learning something new, challenging opinions, and becoming better informed on things you think you knew already. I can openly say I have spoken when I did not need to, been unnecessarily controversial and shared my misinformed opinion thinking it was not.
In this podcast I will try to right some wrongs and take on a new topic each episode that I think I knew but in fact I just don‘t know!
