The idea of using entertainment to teach people about the world is certainly not new. Over 15 years ago, Anthony Bourdain joined the Travel Channel combining food, culture, and travel in a TV series known as No Reservations. The show featured a host that taught viewers about cultural geography. Since the show was successful, Bourdain eventually joined CNN for a new weekend series known as Parts Unknown which can be seen here:
