What You Know? (F.K.A Wastemen): Recent Episodes
Matt Craig & Ronn Mapwata
What You Know? (formerly the Wastemen podcast) is hosted by Matt and Ronn, two twenty-something year-olds based in Dublin, Ireland.
We’re still in the early stages of our careers - and we found that after graduating from college, we're just two young wastemen navigating the real world; finding affordable rent, figuring out what to invest our time into, meal-prepping, and trying to satisfy our entrepreneurial hunger!
Join us on this journey as we talk about life as millennials who really are trying to be responsible with our money, but still end up spending far too much of it on coffee.
Tune into this episode to hear our penultimate 50 Cent bracket with our good friend Slevo. Ronn's hidden agenda, Baby By Me, Slevo's knowledge of 50. This episode is full of highlights.
If you like this episode please rate us 5 stars on this and send it around to a few heads you think would like it. Give Slevo's music a scan as well. Appreciate you all!!!!!!
The boys sit with artist/producer Chris Kaabs to discuss topics of relationships, the music space, getting a placement on fifa 20 and much more! Make sure to check out our socials and subscribe to the channel! Happy New Year peeps!
Our main man Curtis joined us to do a deep dive into his amazing album Layer Cake. Listen to that ASAP if you haven't already.
This week we had one of our best guests from the first run back again. The queen Meg Bergin came in to talk about her new event series. Full of laughs and insightful moments, check it out.
This week, we had a more grown up conversation while still touching on light topics. Dublin had a one if its craziest days and aftermath, not for a good reason. We are saddened by what happened and felt that, as a Dublin based podcast, we could overlook what had happened. So we talked about the role of the arts when it comes to activism, the benefits for community while still talking about Drake's Scary Hours 3.
Tune in!
