Less Than Expert is a podcast where curiosity meets candor. We explore life’s big (and not-so-big) questions with humor and heart.
About the Podcast
At Less Than Expert, we believe that you don’t need to have all the answers to ask good questions, or to start meaningful conversations. We’re here to share fresh perspectives and the kind of everyday wisdom we wish we’d learned sooner.
Less Than Expert is a space where all voices are welcome - this is a podcast for the curious, the conscious, and the community-minded.
Meet Your Hosts
Amanda Talmadge
Founder and Co-Host
Amanda is an award-winning producer, lifelong learner, mom of two (plus a dog), and glorious wife to her baby daddy, Jeff. By day, she leads the digital and experiential team at an Austin-based ad agency, where they turn ambitious ideas into real-world experiences.
She holds a business degree and is currently studying for the CFP - purely for the thrill of understanding things most people avoid. On the side, she co-hosts this podcast and invests in women-led, sustainability-focused startups that pass her “actually useful” test.
Whether it’s work, parenting, or podcasting, she’s always chasing the insightful, the interesting, and the kind of stuff worth sharing.
Katie Herman Co-Host
Katie is a full-time digital producer, mom of two fantastic kids (plus way too many animals), and cohost of the Less Than Expert Podcast. Her path’s been a mix of wins, flops, and the kind of lessons you only learn the hard way, and she’s not shy about sharing any of it.
She’s here for the real talk: honest conversations, hard-earned wisdom, and a community that’s figuring it out together. Whether she’s swapping stories or chasing down expert advice, Katie brings humor, heart, and a healthy respect for life’s chaos.
