Master of None
Hi, we're Gibson and Mandy, and we know a little bit about a lot of things. We aren't masters of anything, but we would definitely consider ourselves jacks of all trades. This is a podcast where we discuss random things--from vanity plates to dark matter. We also try to make you laugh. If you like knowing something about everything and don't mind a dumb joke every once in a while, this is the place for you!
