Welcome to a new chapter of the show.
In this episode of The Global Show, Dave Benson opens 2026 with a new name, the same face, and a sharp, funny take on a world that clearly did not calm down over the holidays.
The episode begins with a fast-paced monologue unpacking everything from Gen Z cancelling numbers, whales rejecting humans, Matlock interrupting live TV, AI birdbaths, robot exoskeletons, YouTube deleting millions of channels, and why The Proclaimers almost certainly did not walk 500 miles. Possibly six. With a pie.
From there, the conversation shifts into a grounded and honest discussion about working with artificial intelligence. Not the hype. Not the fear. The reality.
This episode explores the challenges, limitations, and unpredictability of AI, why human oversight still matters, and what collaboration with AI actually looks like in creative and professional work. It’s a conversation about control, learning, adjustment, and why AI does not simply run on its own.
Funny, reflective, and occasionally chaotic, this episode captures what The Global Show is all about: making sense of modern culture, technology, and creativity with humour, curiosity, and a healthy amount of scepticism.
