Podwires reported on October 15, 2026 that A World With, produced by Futures in Draft, returns for Season 2 on November 2, 2026.
The season runs six parts of roughly ten minutes each, released on Mondays through the end of 2026 and timed to COP31 in Turkey. Creators Isabella Pearce and Chris Mitchell build each episode around radical imagination: guests describe the world they want to live in rather than the crisis they fear. Season 2 voices come from South Africa, Australia, Nigeria, Costa Rica and Peru. Elizabeth Couse opens the season with "a world with no saviours"; other featured guests include beekeeper Nat Kelley, activist Kumi Naidoo, Tori Tsui, Naomi Wharton and Matt Blaise.
WHY IT MATTERS: Short, single-idea seasons built around one imaginative question are a format independent producers can actually sustain, and timing the run to COP31 shows how a small show can borrow a global news moment instead of competing with it. For podcasters working on climate or futures topics, A World With is a working example of format discipline: ten minutes, one world, every Monday.
