About the show

What In The World is a weekly comedy podcast dedicated to international news, global current events, and world affairs that aren't getting the attention they deserve in the United States. Hosted by American comedian Adam Tod Brown and UK actor Ethan Lawrence, with absolutely zero spin or opinion. Maybe there's a little opinion. But also jokes! Lots of jokes! Each episode delves into all manner of stories from around the world: foreign policy goofs, international elections, geopolitical drama ... you name it! Satire meets political comedy for listeners who want to sound smart and laugh about things happening outside their borders.
