ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
Hiccups. Belly button lint. Every episode, we tackle one big question, whether it's Do We Really Only Use 10% of Our Brains?, Is The Bermuda Triangle Actually Real?, or How Does Déjà Vu Actually Happen?, and sort out what's real, what's not, and what you should know. These are the kinds of inquiries that lead us to create Fool's FAQ, the podcast built on the idea that there ARE no stupid questions! Join host Hunter Knoche as he fearlessly dives into the everyday mysteries, common misconceptions, and historical head-scratchers you've always wondered about, but have been too embarrassed to ask. Prepare to arm yourself with fascinating facts, a few laughs, and a newfound appreciation for the wonderfully weird world around us. So, tune in, and get ready to become the most interesting person at a dinner party.
