In 2020, we sent each other over 200 voice memos. Not the short 30 seconds memos, more like 3, 40-minute memos a week. We decided that was a little absurd and that a podcast would be the perfect space to share our stories and commentary. The I Knew You'd Understand podcast, hosted by Karagan Smith and Sarah Blase, is a space for honesty and laughter because your best friend understands you like nobody else.

    is pre-med evil?

    When you started college, did you think you wanted to be a doctor? Or did you think you wanted something that you now know is not for you? We sure did! Listen to our personal accounts of how we started both started college as pre-med but realized we wanted something completely different. You can listen to Karagan's love story with plant science and find out how one conversation with an anatomy professor changed Sarah's whole outlook on life. We hope this week challenges you to remind yourself to go after whatever it is that you really want, not just what someone else has told you you should want.

    check your email

    In today's episode, we remember how this mess of a year started: in a lecture hall filled with chaotic people staring at an email with the subject line "Spring 2020 Update." We unpack (no pun intended) how we are feeling about moving and new beginnings, and give a nice long rant about the bachelor.
