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 friend. An unexpected friend.
The tall, handsome, thoughtful, intelligent, Javier Bardem look alike himself, Karim Diouri Haya. So here we go… is it all flamenco, sangria, paella and siestas?

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, Ryan Hammond.
A dead queen, the class system, surreal comedy, bad teeth, terrible food, worse weather… that’s England right?

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 fighter but most importantly… She's the most hilarious corporate lawyer you will ever meet. Viva Mexico!

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 personalities and we are lucky enough to call the brilliant Hasan Chaaban a friend. We sat down with him here in Barcelona to get deep into the culture, the conflict, the history, the food and the customs of one of the strangest and most complex countries in the world.

Bordered by The Netherlands, Luxemburg, Germany and France… Belgium is a densely populated, complicated, but often unseen, unheard and uncared about place. It is, however, filled with a weird, rich history, a mountain of outside influence, so many divides, 3 official languages and 10s of unofficial languages and dialects.
On the surface, it’s known basically for bureaucracy, fries, chocolate, diamonds, Tin Tin, a statue of a peeing boy and well… not much else right?
Not many people could truly look at Belgium Iconic. But as we all know, it’s often the understated places that are the most surprising. And that goes for our guest today too. Our friend, the wonderful, kind and hilarious, Belgian born Dennis Vanneste.

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 Innes and Andrés Bartos as they try their hardest to clear up some of the outright lies and stereotypes from Japan, New Zealand, France, Belgium, South Africa, Spain, Ireland, Germany, Canada, Mexico and more this year… by doing what they do best. Having a chat with someone who actually knows what they’re talking about.
MisInfoNation returns with hilarious guests and all new episodes starting Tuesday January 17th.

The mission of MisInfoNation is to help us understand whether our ideas about a place are real or just Imagined. But what about a place that was built on imagination? A place that would be the most visited country on earth… if it was a country? This week, we’re finding out with a trip to Disney.
This is no cartoon, this is a place where you will certainly need a map, a plan, a schedule and a guide. And this week, we’ve got a good one. A parks mega fan. A snappy dresser. A foodie and a theme park journalist and the host of her own Disney podcast, Very Amusing: the whip smart, bubbly fountain of Diz wisdom, Carlye Wisel.
On this episode of MisInfoNation, Carlye’s going to help us sort out what the world gets right about Walt Disney World (and Disneyland. And Epcot. And Tokyo Disney.) and what it gets wronger than Goofy leaning against a wall with his head off.
Plus, if you think food at a theme parks is all bland hotdogs and overpriced sodas, Caryle’s got some Saved Pins to prove you wrong.
And for links to this episode’s Saved Pins, plus more of MisInfoNation, Passport, and all our Cerca Guides to the most amazing places on Earth, be sure to download the Cerca App for iOS.
