The comedian Reggie Watts doesn’t tell jokes: he’s a pianist who can mimic any musical genre and a multilingual savant who’s a genius with accents. Watts performs live in our studio and shows Kurt how he uses improvisation to make every show unique.

Do you support journalism that strengthens our democracy?

At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.

Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever!
