What Now? with Trevor Noah

Wesley Morris: How Critics at Large See the Stories We Miss

Trevor sits down with Pulitzer Prize-winning critic Wesley Morris for a wide-ranging conversation that uncovers the hidden stories in everyday culture. From Carlos Alcaraz’s accidental buzz cut becoming the real drama of the US Open (and why men rarely have to explain their appearance), to the deeper meaning behind dead baby names, looted ancient artifacts, and Trump’s complicated relationship with museums. They dive into why blockbuster movies have abandoned regular human stories, how Superman reboots reflect America’s shifting self-image, and why horror films and death-obsessed songs are dominating right now. Wesley breaks down the superpower of a “critic at large”: spotting trends everyone else misses and connecting them to what they really say about us. Thought-provoking, funny, and full of unexpected insights—this one will make you see the world a little differently. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Eliza Filby: Hard Work Is a Lie, This Is What Rich People Never Tell You

We were all told the same story. Work hard, get an education, and the world will reward you. Dr. Eliza Filby joins us to explain why that story has quietly collapsed, and why inheritance, family money, and generational wealth now shape your future more than anything you do on your own.   This episode breaks down the truth about the great wealth transfer, why millennials feel like they are failing, why men are angrier, why women are more stressed than ever, why Gen Z sees the world more clearly than we did, and why most people’s lives are shaped by money they never earned and stories they never questioned.   If you have ever wondered why life feels harder than it was for your parents, this conversation will change the way you see work, success, family, and the future.

Dr. Becky: You’re Not a Bad Parent, You’re Overwhelmed

Kids are not trying to make your life harder. Parents are not supposed to know everything. Most of what we think of as “bad behavior” is actually a nervous system short-circuiting. And most of what parents call “failure” is really lack of support.   Dr. Becky joins Trevor and Eugene for a conversation about tantrums, overwhelm, shame, lying, attachment, repair, and what it means to grow up in a world that was never designed to support families. This episode explains why kids explode, why adults collapse, and why the most important sentence a parent can say is “I am still here.”   If you want to understand your child, your parents, or yourself, this episode is worth your time.
