About this listen

Ever wonder about the mysteries that surround us every day? Join me, Joshua Blewitt, on a bi-weekly journey into the unknown with my podcast, "Stuff I Don't Know!"

In this show, we dive headfirst into the vast sea of knowledge, exploring everything from the commonplace, like the inner workings of TVs and fridges, to the complexities of cutting-edge subjects like quantum computing and astrophysics.

But here's the twist – I'm not an expert. I'm just a curious mind trying to make sense of the world. Every episode, I take on a new challenge, unraveling the intricacies of a topic I know nothing about. It's like learning on the go, and I want you to be part of the adventure.

So, why embark on this quest for the unknown? Because understanding the unfamiliar is a thrilling journey, and the best part is, you get to be my co-pilot. Together, we'll laugh, question, and explore the depths of knowledge, making the complex seem a little less daunting.

Tune in every fortnight as I stumble through uncharted territories, armed with curiosity and a microphone. The more we learn, the more we realise how much stuff we don't know.

Join me on this intellectual rollercoaster, whether you’re in the car, on the train, at the airport or just before you go to sleep, “Stuff I Don’t Know!” will be your guide through various topics.
