Most explainer podcasts treat international news like vegetables your mom made you eat. Tyla Cooper actually makes geopolitics interesting. The former high school teacher turned globe-trotting storyteller breaks down complex world events like he's talking to his smartest friend over coffee, not reading from a Wikipedia page. Every episode tackles one major story happening right now, from trade wars to border disputes to political shake-ups that actually matter. Cooper connects the dots between seemingly random events across continents, using the kind of weird analogies and real-world examples that stick in your brain long after you've finished listening. Think less CNN anchor, more that one teacher who made history class actually fun. You'll walk away understanding not just what happened, but why it matters for your world. Cooper spent three years backpacking through 40 countries asking locals the questions most journalists never think to ask, and that perspective shows up in every story he tells. New episodes drop daily, so you'll never be that person who has no idea what everyone's talking about. Follow now for your daily dose of world events that actually make sense. New episodes every day—follow now!
