This week the incredible writer, comedian, and general provocateur Jena Friedman joins Seena and Travis to explain why being a public figure in our current online culture is scary as f***. The crew reacts to various Riyadh Comedy festival takes and tries to figure out when and why we became so reactive and polarized. Seena and Travis also break down the current state of the peace process in Gaza and locate the potential fault lines underlying the ceasefire.

The Foreign Report from Last Podcast Network dives into the wildest corners of global politics with sharp analysis and pitch-black humor. Each week, producer, comedian, and lawyer Seena Ghaznavi teams up with a rotating crew of journalists, experts, and policy nerds to unpack the stories shaping our world, from power struggles and propaganda wars to strange moments of competitive authoritarianism and beyond. Expect smart, irreverent commentary that cuts through official narratives, explains why today’s headlines actually matter, and still finds room to laugh at the absurdity of it all. Whether you obsess over international news or just want someone to translate the chaos into something you can argue about with friends, this podcast has you covered. Hit play, listen episodes that challenge your assumptions, and stay just informed enough to worry productively.
