A video podcast that breaks down careers, money, and the everyday things you pretend to understand — hosted by someone figuring it out with you.
From the margins — things we'll prove on camera
The odds of being murdered by a penguin are never quite zero.
The whole idea
Hosted by the expertx curious translator.
FWIU asks the obvious question — the one your professor would roll their eyes at, and your friends would secretly Google instead of admitting they don't know either. Careers, money, physics, your own body. The name is the promise: we're not claiming to be right. We're claiming to have thought about it harder than most. The curiosity is the credential.
Full episodes run 35–45 minutes on YouTube and podcast. Clips live on Instagram. Everything is evergreen — built to make sense, not to trend. And "we don't know" is a perfectly valid way to end an episode.
What this is
- The smart friend who just went deep on something
- Honest enough to end with "we don't know"
- Built in public, starting from zero
What it isn't
- A lecture that talks down to you
- Hot takes, news, or hype
- "Passionate about democratizing knowledge"
