The Dumbest Person on Campus is a long-form interview podcast built around a simple premise: asking smart people dumb questions.

Hosted by John Cobb at the nation’s top universities, the show sits down with professors, experts, researchers, and thinkers to break down big ideas in the simplest terms possible. Each episode starts from a place of genuine curiosity: What can this person help me understand about the world, my life, and the problems we all run into every day?

Rather than trying to sound smart, The Dumbest Person on Campus is about stripping complicated topics down to first principles, asking the questions most people are too embarrassed to ask, and finding practical wisdom from the smartest minds on campus. From national security and neuroscience to education, family, sociology, creativity, and culture, the show explores what experts know — and what the rest of us can actually do with it.
