Guy Who Listens to Podcasts

Text on the meme

guy who listens to podcasts Ph.D. MASTER'S DEGREE BACHELOR'S DEGREE ASSOCIATE'S DEGREE HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA

What it means

A colorful pyramid of educational degrees is labeled from a high school diploma at the bottom to a Ph.D. at the top, with an arrow pointing to the tiny top point labeled “guy who listens to podcasts.” The joke exaggerates podcast listeners as intellectually superior and treats casually listening to podcasts like the highest academic achievement. It is used as a sarcastic reaction to someone acting overly intellectual or proud of consuming educational content.
