About This Podcast

Ordinary Observations is the radio equivalent of knowing enough to know you’re wrong, but knowing too little to care about the details. It gives enough for a passing grade and leaves room to figure out the rest along the way. Join Jack as he discusses a bizarre potpourri of ideas, occurrences, personalities, and problems from all imaginable corners of the globe, across all of recorded history. Host: Jack Williamson This is a podcast from K103 Göteborgs Studentradio
