Advertise on podcast: What Now? with Trevor Noah

Emmy-nominated video journalist Cleo Abram joins Trevor and Eugene to talk about Huge If True, her hit YouTube series that takes an optimistic approach to science and emerging technology. The three explore how asking “what could go right?” might be the most powerful tool we have for moving humanity forward, why optimism isn’t naïve but necessary, and how the physics of curling (the most divisive Olympic sport) can be used as an example of pessimism keeping us from imagining a better world.

Trevor and Eugene go wild with world-class explorer and nature documentarian Bertie Gregory to tackle one of life’s most important questions: are animals a**holes? From whale poop and chimp gangs to elephant stepdads and guanaco hunts, Bertie pulls back the curtain on the animal kingdom’s messiest, funniest dramas—before landing on the surprisingly moving truth about climate change and what’s at stake….for them, for our planet, and for us.

In this episode, Trevor and Eugene unpack intergenerational trauma with psychiatrist Rachel Yehuda. Turns out, trauma is inherited, passed down through generations, but don’t fear!

In this very special bonus episode that’s as smart as it is fun, Trevor goes one-on-one with Barbados' Prime Minister, Mia Mottley. Between lessons on Bajan slang, "road tennis" Olympic dreams, and big ideas on global finance, climate change, and managed migration, Mottley proves she’s a force of nature—though even she can’t score Trevor an invite to Rihanna’s next birthday bash.

Trevor sits down with Pulitzer Prize-winning critic Wesley Morris for a wide-ranging conversation that uncovers the hidden stories in everyday culture. From Carlos Alcaraz’s accidental buzz cut becoming the real drama of the US Open (and why men rarely have to explain their appearance), to the deeper meaning behind dead baby names, looted ancient artifacts, and Trump’s complicated relationship with museums. They dive into why blockbuster movies have abandoned regular human stories, how Superman reboots reflect America’s shifting self-image, and why horror films and death-obsessed songs are dominating right now. Wesley breaks down the superpower of a “critic at large”: spotting trends everyone else misses and connecting them to what they really say about us. Thought-provoking, funny, and full of unexpected insights—this one will make you see the world a little differently. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

We were all told the same story. Work hard, get an education, and the world will reward you. Dr. Eliza Filby joins us to explain why that story has quietly collapsed, and why inheritance, family money, and generational wealth now shape your future more than anything you do on your own.   This episode breaks down the truth about the great wealth transfer, why millennials feel like they are failing, why men are angrier, why women are more stressed than ever, why Gen Z sees the world more clearly than we did, and why most people’s lives are shaped by money they never earned and stories they never questioned.   If you have ever wondered why life feels harder than it was for your parents, this conversation will change the way you see work, success, family, and the future.

Kids are not trying to make your life harder. Parents are not supposed to know everything. Most of what we think of as “bad behavior” is actually a nervous system short-circuiting. And most of what parents call “failure” is really lack of support.   Dr. Becky joins Trevor and Eugene for a conversation about tantrums, overwhelm, shame, lying, attachment, repair, and what it means to grow up in a world that was never designed to support families. This episode explains why kids explode, why adults collapse, and why the most important sentence a parent can say is “I am still here.”   If you want to understand your child, your parents, or yourself, this episode is worth your time.
