Customer Reviews
Fun and Engaging!
It can be hard to find a podcast with interesting subject matter and a pleasant host. "Don't Know Squat About" has the perfect combination of both, with Justin's energy adding an extra spark to engaging discussions on relevant topics. I highly recommend adding this podcast to your list!
Great Podcast!
First heard him on We Have Concerns and decided to check it out. I'm glad I did!
Great show and interesting topics so far!
It's fun, accessible, and easy to listen to.
Justin Johnson is a likable, earnest guy... and that what makes listening to this podcast great. So many podcasts have cool topics but then have a host that doesn't know how to stay on track without getting snoozy, and that's not the case here. Like HowStuffWorks brand podcasts? Like learning about stuff you didn't realize you wanted to learn about? Good. Now keep reading...
If you're interested in an eclectic podcast that mixes a likable host with unique topics, good editing, and a general fun non-awkward atmosphere - this is great for you. It's a good one for listening to at work or on your morning commute. Not too heavy, not too crazy. Just right. Five stars well earned.
