    He’s the smallest of all brained Americans. One star off because there are no spicy subtitles. Love that stuff in the videos…

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Chatting with Travel Legend, Rolf Potts
Q: Do you find it difficult living in Kansas, having such a limited airport?
Potts says his nearby airport is convenient and connects through Chicago, Denver, and Houston. He values the quiet, space, and rural life enough to accept fewer direct flights.
Chatting with Travel Legend, Rolf Potts
Q: What have you seen change about travel writing in recent years?
Potts says more creators are building audiences through video and other media before moving into print, while writers today have to adapt to shorter attention spans and changing routes to readers.
Smoking Cigs with Ari Shaffir in Paris
Q: Do you have it more or less in Europe compared to, like, Ecuador or, like, somewhere really exotic, like Cambodia?
Shaffir says his social anxiety is worse in France because he worries about not knowing the language and feels pressure to meet local expectations. In places where he feels less familiar with the norms, that pressure is lower; traveling alone also makes him more open to meeting people after about a week.
Smoking Cigs with Ari Shaffir in Paris
Q: How do you feel like Paris compares to New York?
Shaffir says both cities stand out among large cities because each offers distinct neighborhoods, scenes, and people. He contrasts them with other bustling cities that feel more alike.
Answering Your Most Heinous Questions
Q: Has extensive travel changed your personal politics biases in any way?
The host affirms that it has changed their perspective, explaining how initial travel experiences in Europe can form liberal viewpoints, but later travels reveal more conservative cultural practices elsewhere.
