MisInfoNation

Hey there, Neil here. At Misinformation, we love great stories, new cultures, and taking you to the heart of a place. Today, we’re sharing a show that does all that—with a little more vino. It’s called Wine Tripping, hosted by Amanda McCrossin, a certified sommelier and one of the most influential voices in the wine world—and honestly, our new favorite travel companion.

Amanda takes you behind the scenes into the cellar...

Today, we head north—way north—to Canada. Land of maple syrup, jaw-dropping wilderness, and people so polite they say sorry when you bump into them. But what’s really going on beneath the surface?

Joining us are two brilliant Canadian storytellers with global roots: Hirad “Raz” Motamed and Adam Leverett. Born in Iran and the UK respectively, raised in snowy suburbia, and shaped by immigrant ide...

This week on MisInfoNation we’re jetting off to Croatia—a truly special place, filled with crystal-clear waters, ancient stone towns, lush vineyards, and, of course, intense Balkan pride. Joining us for this unforgettable adventure is an equally special guest: the immensely talented, award-winning Croatian filmmaker Lucija Stovic.

Together, we'll dive into the hilarious complexities of being Balkan, from passionate foot...

Today on MisInfoNation, it's all great craic, endless rolling fields of potatoes, perfectly poured pints of Guinness, lucky four-leaf clovers, and magical pots of gold just waiting patiently at the end of every shimmering rainbow—or at least that's what the postcards and leprechauns might have you believe. But is that the real Ireland, or just the sparkly stereotype? 

To separate fact from folklore and reality from...

Today, MisInfoNation embarks on a vibrant adventure to the beautiful archipelago of the Philippines alongside our excellent, silky-voiced friend—the gloriously named, effortlessly stylish, and always impeccably dressed—Randie Alegre Dumpit. 

Together, we dive deep into the Philippines’ national obsession: basketball. Discover why hoops and hardwood courts can be found on nearly every street corner and how this spor...

MisInfoNation is coming back with all new episodes featuring some of 2025's hottest destinations. The Philippines, Croatia, Denmark, Ireland, and more. Plus Canada.,.. which at least as of the release of this trailer has not been annexed by the United States. But hey, if that changes, at least maybe we'll have helped our American friends get to know the culture of their newest state? We're joking of course. We hope.

I...

Today on MisInfoNation Neil and Andrés visit the Fatherland. The well oiled machine that is the world’s third most powerful country in terms of GDP after the USA and China. Germany. 

This wonderful land of fat sausages, perfect cars and unlistenable industrial electronic techno music is a family affair today with the young, all-together, sharp as a tack, Tom Noack and his measured, cool, calm and collected unc...

Learn how to lisp, grab a classical guitar, pop a flower in your hair, put on your espadrilles, and let's go for a late night dinner and brisk ramble through the humid and historied streets and cities of our home… España.

Me and Andres call Spain home and have done, collectively for more than 38 years… we could have picked a multitude of friends to take on the mammoth task of MisInfoNation but we didn’t… we chose a new ...

Don your tweed, grab a parker, make sure you’ve got your bits and bobs, pop your wellies on, and let's go for a stroll through the blustery countryside of this beautiful nation of shopkeepers: Fair olde England.

Today on MisInfoNation, we’re tackling a country with two very special guests: The dry and hilarious, Scottish blooded, English-hearted Andy Young and Cerca’s own, equally dry and hilarious, Northern-souled...

Today as always on MisInfoNation: We try to clear up some of the outright lies, mistakes, myths and misnomers of an entire country... this time... And with the 2024 Summer Olympics just getting underway, here was one country in particular we wanted to study under the MisInfoNation microscope. That's right, we're headed to France! 

So grab a baguette, find your fanciest horizontal stripes, hop on your oversized bask...

Hola Passport faithful! Neil, Dré, and the Passport team are busy cooking up some new episodes of MisInfoNation - and maybe even a few other surprises, too. But in the meantime, we wanted to share a new show that we really love. Because we think you'll love it too.

Don't Drink the Milk mixes history with a good dose of travel, pop culture, and controversy. The show explores the curious backstories of familiar things, and ...

In this episode Neil and Andrés are off to beautiful Portugal for some fado, sweet port, codfish and maybe even a little Ronaldo - to find out if the world has it right about this Iberian treasure trove.

Showing us around the facts and the follies today is the one and only Catarina Araújo; A globe hopping, Lisbon-born marketing specialist and the writer of the excellent travelog aportugueseaffair.com which yo...

Today on MisInfoNation we ready our minds, stomachs and souls to tackle The United States of… Mexico. These 31 federal entities and Mexico City, which is its own thing entirely, is a rich, historied country filled with incredible food, ancient culture, and an iconic identity. Also long fiestas and longer siestas… or is it? We head there with our friend Elena Garcia Beltran. She’s a mother, she’s a lover, she's sometimes a ...

Drop the Ikea Allen key, put on your warmest, most fashionable outdoorsy threads, and fill up on some delicious meatballs because today on MisInfoNation we’re going to the nordic utopia of Sweden with soon to be TV superstar, set designer, and bonafide Swede, Johan Svenson.

Bordered by Israel and Syria on the East Coast of the Mediterranean sea, Lebanon is something of an unknown quantity in the eyes of the world. Its position in the Middle East has never given it much stability in recent history. The lives of the people who live there, even the young adults, are tarnished with conflict but also an undeniable resilience and perspective.

The Lebanese are impassioned, intelligent and intense...

MisInfoNation returns with a trip to Belgium - a place that's often overlooked and mostly defined in popular imagination by bureaucracy, beer, fries, chocolate, Tintin and a statue of a boy peeing.

But Neil and Dré aren't content to just let these easy oversimplifications define a whole country and its people. That's why they've invited their friend and 3D Designer Dennis Vanneste to help set the record straight.

There are things we think we know about places. But history, prejudice, stereotypes and the nature of 24 hour news and social media has made common knowledge about far away places even more twisted than ever.

So we’re taking the initiative once more, putting ourselves in the line of fire and asking the dumbest of questions so you never have to ever again. MisInfoNation is coming back!

Come and join Neil I...
