Ahead of the big ceremony on October 4, Mark Sansom stops by the Bar Hacks podcast to speak with co-host David Klemt about the World's 50 Best Bars. As the content director for the World's 50 Best Bars, Sansom is uniquely qualified to speak about several aspects of arguably the most influential ranking of bars in the world. Sansom speaks about the impressive voting process, moving the World's 50 Best Bars ceremony to a new host city for the first time ever, the Michter's Art of Hospitality award, the Blend Scholarship, and much more.

Numbers 100 to 51 of the World's 50 Best Bars will be announced on September 27, which people can watch free on Instagram Live. On October 4, the World's 50 Best Bars presents bars 50 to number one.
