The world has never been more connected. But in reality, there’s still so much we don’t understand about each other. Join hosts Neil Innes and Andres Bartos as they take you to places you didn’t realize existed, introduce you to people who you would never have otherwise met, and experience the rush of traveling the world, without ever leaving your home.
