Where America Meets the World.

Smartest show on television currently is Foreign Exchange with Fareed Zakaria.

He's a smart, savvy journalist who interviews prominent, intelligent men and women from around the world, whose expertise or experiences are unique to the topic at hand. Whether that topic is globalization, poverty, economics, foreign & domestic policies, or human interest, questions are neither shallow nor egotistical. Guests and Mr. Zakaria speak eloquently with real interest in holding an open discussion as well as finding answers to the questions that matter most to both layman and policymaker.

My advice to you: Watch this show, and grow. It's on public television, Friday evenings.
