Description

Welcome to This Wasn't On The Test, the podcast where knowledge meets humor in the most unexpected ways! Join Dr. Jake Berg and Dr. Kayla Berg, a couple with Doctoral degrees in their respective fields, as they dive deep into all things educational—from the latest research trends to historical curiosities. But don't worry, they're not alone—adding a dose of fun and wit is their sister, Kelsey, who may not have a PhD but sure knows how to keep things light with her quick humor and relatable take on the world. Whether you're a scholar or just a curious mind, this trio will make you laugh, think, and maybe even learn something new along the way. Tune in and find out why this wasn’t on the test!

This Wasn't On The Test is a podcast where a PhD couple and their hilariously non-PhD sister explore educational topics with humor, wit, and a dash of insight.
