In 9 months we made a baby — going from 0 followers to 1,000,000+ downloads/streams.

We booked sensational guests — from names you know like Neil deGrasse Tyson and Diplo to unexpected stars like unabashed New York City doormen and wise 11 year olds. Nayeema asked them the dumb Qs we all have, and she invited our guests to share what they’re dumb about. Mark Cuban can’t figure out his fear of heights. Esther Perel needs to know why some people have a sense of direction, and others are perpetually lost. At 80, Nobel Laureate Geoffrey Hinton still doesn’t know the answer to his life’s work. And 11 year olds Sophie and Dilan?They have questions about death … and taxes.

Because on SGDQ the only truly dumb thing you can be is a know-it-all.

SGDQ was in Spotify Wrapped Top 10 Best New Shows of 2025! … up there with Amy Poehler, Michele Obama, Shawn Stockman and Kylie Kelce who is related to the SportsBall guy Taylor Swift is dating! (we’ll learn about sportsball in a future episode of Smart Girl Dumb Questions, don’t you worry)

Apple featured our “curiosity party in a podcast” as a New and Noteworthy Show at launch, and a Top Pick in Spring 2025.

We’re still working on breaking through on YouTube
