Well, tonight for our brief but spectacular series, journalist and podcast host Naima Ruzha shares what she's learning by asking the questions we all secretly wonder about.

Her new podcast called Smart Girl Dumb Questions is all about embracing curiosity.

So curiosity is one of these skills that I think we have in spades as children, and we actually

continue to have it as adults, but we're like closeted curious people. And instead of asking

the question out loud, we're like underneath the table, like, is Teleggio a cheese or a sex

act? What actually happened in Ireland? Why is that a good metaphor? I feel like I grew up my whole life not knowing things.

You know, I'm Pakistani.

I was born in the United States, but I grew up in Asia and Africa.

And so I was constantly moving as a result of my father's work at the World Bank.

And I was always in cultures where I didn't know stuff.

And because I was an outsider, I had the ability to ask questions. Smart Girl Dumb Questions is a new podcast that's about asking the questions we all want to know the answers to. A dumb question I have that I want to figure out on the show is this shift of gender roles. How much of this is feminism and how much of it is about working more, buying more, being kind of an economic guzzler.

I, for example, feel a lot of pressure

to have a bigger career because I don't yet have kids.

Or I know women who are really kind of finding

they need to explain away the fact that they don't have a career

because they're at home watching their kids.

This expectation of like, you need to want to have it all

is absolutely wrong.

What my parents instilled in me at a young age

was a ton of confidence.

That has lasted me a lifetime.

My father, Off Thabraza, he unfortunately passed away a few years ago.
