  • Ep 40: Learnt Up
    This Is Not It host Matt Wyatt's appearance on Learnt Up Podcast. Episode description: Matt Wyatt - filmmaker, host of This Is Not It Podcast - swings by to share his fancy European lineage and tales of castle-dwelling revolutionaries in the olden days who protested English royals and got their heads 86’ed. Matt is *awash* in privilege, and the Learnt Up gals enjoy learning from the Oppressor.
    Learnt Up description: Lorraine DeGraffenreidt is a black person! Sarah Isaacson is a Jewish person! As it turns out, there's a lot of black and Jewish stuff that they don't know anything about -- and that makes them feel guilty! So now, they're getting learnt up. Join Lorraine and Sarah as they discover classic movies everyone's already seen (Schindler's List anyone???), conquer basic ethnic foods (chicken and waffles!!!) and generally improve as adult people, all while making their black and Jewish dads proud.
