There are things we think we know about countries. But viral videos, TikTok and 24 hour news has made everything we understand about other places somewhat misinformed, twisted or just downright incorrect.

Which is why, the hosts of Cerca's Passport, Neil Innes and Andrés Bartos, have decided to take this misinformation and turn it on its head, upside down, the wrong way round and inside out.

  • Relatable and hilarious

    Love the way this podcast sneaks genuine cultural insights in amongst the humour and likability of its hosts. The quality of the guests is uniformly excellent, and they are always treated with great warmth. A great tonic to so much of the binary views and cultural sketches out there.

Not sure if you (either host - or both) have Israeli and/or Jewish ancestry (which would explain your seemingly bias presentation of Jerusalem) or if y... more
