Between the Seasons: Trump Dropping Bombs for Peace

What Now is taking a summer break! Season 3 will return in September with new guests, new ideas, and the same classic Trevor and friends. In the meantime, we’ll load up a few mystery bonus episodes, including this one straight from Trevor’s stand-up show in London.

Television and radio host Dan Corder and comedian/actor Eugene Khoza join Trevor to discuss relations between Blacks and Whites in South Africa. The three dig deep into the country’s racial history, current social climate, and the myth of “white genocide."

This round of If I Ruled the World is going down in South Africa. Trevor invites friends-of-the-show Anele Mdoda and Sizwe Dhlomo to give ruling the world a try. Elections. Human Connection. Mandatory commuting. It’s all in the timing.

Trevor sits down with Jon Stewart in an epic episode of "My Favorite People". The two talk life, comedy, their experiences hosting The Daily Show, and the benefits of keeping one’s mind occupied.

For this round of If I Ruled the World, Trevor and Christiana and joined by friend-of-the-show Tressie McMillan Cottom. They’re trying to find ways to connect people and limit societal rot; one quarterly report, character count, and service job at a time.

In another "My Favorite People" episode, Trevor sits down with Esther Perel. This time around, Esther reflects on her early life experiences and how those experiences have shaped her life and career. They also discuss the importance of “friction” as an essential element of a life well lived, and why we should all maybe be hanging out at the laundromat.

Trevor and Christiana are joined by Christian Rudder (co-founder of OkCupid and author of Dataclysm) to try and determine: Is a healthy dating app possible? They talk through how online dating has shifted since the “hope and change” moment of the early 2010s, and how data and technology can help and hurt our attempts at finding love.

Jonathan Haidt, noted social psychologist and author of The Anxious Generation, sits down with Trevor and Christiana to discuss how smartphones and social media are harming Gen Z – and really all of us. He encourages claiming back third spaces, championing anti-fragility, and … maybe letting your kid go take a walk.

Interdisciplinary artist Derek Fordjour is one of Trevor’s Favorite People. The two discuss creating art, African diaspora, and assigning value within society. Above all else, they agree humans need storytelling.

Noted clinical psychologist Dr. Kristin Carothers joins Trevor and Christiana to discuss ADHD. The three demystify the condition, how it’s diagnosed, how it manifests, and its impact on everything from education to relationships to professional sports.
