Earth's Most Misunderstood Countries (w/ Drew Binsky)
From Soul Boom by Rainn Wilson
June 4, 2026 · 52 min
About this episode
Drew Binsky shares insights from his travels to every country, discussing common human desires and the misconceptions surrounding various cultures.
Drew Binsky has visited every country in the world, but what did all that travel actually teach him about people, fear, poverty, faith, and the soul? We dig into Haiti, Iran, Afghanistan, China, the countries Americans ignore, and the surprising truth that people everywhere want the same basic things: love, family, safety, dignity, and connection. This is a conversation about misunderstood cultures, global suffering, spiritual universals, and why seeing the world up close may be the best antidote to fear.
