Josh Szeps goes global with around-the-world podcast streamed marathon

Twelve days. Twenty-four time zones. Zero filter.

Award-winning broadcaster Josh Szeps will circumnavigate the globe in a first-of-its-kind partnership between the former ABC Radio host’s hit podcast Uncomfortable Conversations with Josh Szeps and publishing giant Substack.

In back-to-back foreign locales, Josh will go head-to-head live with some of the world’s most fascinating minds before a global audience.

The guest list is a rogue’s gallery of heavy hitters, including John Cleese, Rich Roll, comedian Jimmy Carr and neuroscientist Sam Harris.

From London to Los Angeles, New York to Malibu, Josh and his long-suffering producer Jono will chase time zones and guests, broadcasting raw, unfiltered conversations, sometimes multiple times a day.

The centrepiece will be live event at New York‘s iconic Comedy Cellar – the stomping ground of Seinfeld, Chappelle and Robin Williams – where Szeps will host a no-holds-barred panel event.

“This isn’t a podcast tour. It’s a seat-of-your-pants intellectual bender,” says Szeps.

“We’re flying blind around the planet, streaming live, with no safety net, chasing the most fascinating minds … while jet lag fries mine.”

Uncomfortable Conversations with Josh Szeps is Substack’s #1 show of its kind in Australia, ranked Top 20 globally in its category.
