Hey guys, I think this is going to be the last episode of Eric on the World. Sadly, the listenership never grew (it's basically ~50 people for each new episode a week), no one expressed any interest in Patreon, and no one had rated or reviewed the show since it's debut in November 2020. So basically this is your fault. But in all seriousness, if you'd like to have me host a different kind of show, please let me know the topic, etc. But this one just hasn't been working out. You can hit me up at https://www.instagram.com/ericontheworld/ Thanks for listening, and until next time—whenever that is—wherever you are in the world, be well, and be loved.
This week I talk about continuing to put temporary roots down in Lisbon, my phone breaking, and whether or not you'd want to pay for any of my content so I don't starve.
I talk about returning to Berlin for a week and performing comedy as well as my tearful goodbye to the girl I'm seeing. I also talk about my initial experiences in Lisbon, including trying to be vegan and performing comedy for the first time here.
I talk about my Prague experience, where I'm going to next, my hopes for comedy, and why I can never have a house cat.
This week Prague comedian Mohammed Babiker aka Babiker the Traveler joins me to discuss a wide variety of topics, including the cultural shock of moving from the U.K. to Sudan to Saudi Arabia to Prague in his young age, to what it's like being a Muslim in comedy, to other more general questions of Islam and living a lifestyle of faith.

I talk about being diagnosed with bronchitis, how I spent my Christmas, and my plans of where I'm going after Prague.
I await my Covid home test results while recording, contemplate if singing karaoke induced my sickness, and talk about a Q-Anon Czech guy I met.
I wrap up my time in Budapest, talk about being pepper sprayed my first night in Krakow, and how I stayed at the second-worst hostel I've ever been to.
This week I explain why I don't have a guest (again), how I'll be alone (in Prague!) for Christmas, and how I almost got my ass kicked twice in my first night in Budapest.
I'm in Prague, and what a gorgeous city it is. Should I stay over Christmas? Should I fly home? Should I study in Lisbon? These are life's questions that plague us.
This will likely be my last few days in Berlin, at least for the foreseeable future. I am so conflicted about what to do next and how to do it. I was accepted into an Erasmus program in Lisbon, but I don't have the funds to make it happen, unless making money in Lisbon is somehow a much easier thing to do. But, at least for the next few weeks, I'll be going through Eastern Europe, hitting up Prague (where I have 3 shows at the Czech Inn, November 27, 28, 30 - come see me!), Brno, Bratislava, Budapest, Krakow, and then either flying back to live at home, trying again for Berlin, or perhaps going to Lisbon. I don't know what the hell to do, someone please give me your thoughts. ericontheworldpodcast@gmail.com Also, the movie Vanilla Sky made me cry. That sound track.
I talk about taking a bath and how maybe I can save money by buying a plane ticket and an iPhone.
Why am I even making these anymore? Is anybody out there?
Coming to you from the streets of Berlin, I talk about how a comedian friend (give him a follow) gave me another month of life in Berlin, and having a bloody a**hole. I had to change the name of this episode because certain podcast aggregators wouldn't accept it haha.
I talk about how I have no idea where I'll be living next week, ask why it's so expensive everywhere in the world, and how we're all screwed.
I talk about why I might have to leave Berlin (again), rediscovering some magical moments of youthful wonder, and why Berlin itself has beaten me up.
This week German-British comedian Fay Walsh is on the podcast. We discuss her background and growing up in Berlin proper, how she discovered she wanted to be a comedian, how we both deal with depression, and much more.

Sorry for the late podcast. I've been feeling pretty crappy for about nine days, but have tested negative twice for Covid. Also, anyone have any housing leads in Berlin? Follow me on Insta: https://www.instagram.com/ericontheworld
This week comedian Bruno Mazzini returns to the podcast. We have a wide-ranging conversation, ranging from relationships with women, why I think I'm over sex, and how most people hate their lives.

This week Irish comedian Rob Moriarty is on the show, and what a great conversation it was. Rob is living in Berlin (a notoriously difficult housing market), and we start by discussing the crazy situations he's encountered living with two other roommates and an occasional girlfriend all in the same bedroom. Later we get into our mutual hypochondria, and some of the medical ailments Rob's faced in recent years, including having an adult circumcision to correct an overly tight foreskin. We wrap things up by talking about our sexual identity, and how that affects the audience's perception of us on stage.
