What You Know? (F.K.A Wastemen)
By 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.

Where to listen

Proposals & Bungalows
We continue our little deep dive on topics that piques our curiosity. Matt lets us know why the world ain't as bad as we make it seem. With that being said we chat about proposals and what a wedding party should be like or won't be like. Then Ronn will give his expert "real estate" opinion on house building and the dream house.

Because of the Black Diaspora
From 2 Chainz references to the female mathematicians who worked at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) during the Space Race, we're chatting about the effects that originate from the black diaspora in this episode.
Also bear in mind that this episode is from the vault. We recorded this back in 2020, in the midst of the lockdown. A LOT has changed since then!
