We all have things that we’re experts in. They could be our jobs, they could be hobbies, they could be random bits of information you’ve gleaned from podcasts over the years. So then you find yourself sitting in your car, listening to somebody on the radio yap on about a topic and get it ALL WRONG.

Frustrating, for sure.

So today, we wanted to hear from you, what does the media get wrong about your area of expertise. And the lines were filled for the whole two hours. Here’s the best of it.
