Welcome to 1 Smart Thing - the show that goes deep on the 1 random thing you wish you knew more about. I'm Hitha Palepu - I'm not a journalist, but I am incredibly curious. I share these findings on my Instagram, every weekday via #5SmartReads and every Friday during my ask me anything sessions.

1 Smart Thing goes deeper into the news and the questions that deserve lengthy answers. On Mondays, I'll delve into a news topic or story, and on Fridays I'll answer one of my frequently asked questions.
