Brit Karl Pilkington has led a sheltered life. Not having done any traveling, he enjoys living within the comforts of what he knows, basically that being what is purely British. As such, his friends, Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, decide to send Karl to various parts of the world to experience unfamiliar cultures. Stephen believes that travel is a life broadening venture, and hopes that Karl will indeed feel like his life is enriched by these travels. Ricky, however, hopes that Karl will hate every minute of his travels. For Ricky, this experiment is the most expensive gag for his own pleasure that he could have conceived.

'STUFF YOU SHOULD KNOW' tells the story of Josh Clark and Chuck Bryant, two perpetually curious average-Joe writers who get a not-so-average chance at success when their little podcast called 'Stuff You Should Know' takes off into something big--well, at least, big for a podcast. We join them on their daily adventures in and out of the recording booth as they let relentless curiosity do the driving.

Karl is faced with the different aspects of life by travelling around the world and discovering how different people face life's challenges.

The series continues over lists of people who play psychic tricks on camera.
