“News reports per se aren't enough most of the time. They're generalised, impersonal, impartial, dumbed down, sanitised. FOOC cuts through that, providing a personal, partial, and completely human report from an individual correspondent writing from the thick of the action. Whether it's the king of some tiny nation wondering how tenable his position actually is, or the murky trade in organs reclaimed from executed "criminals", or the dull horror of waiting for your boots to dry after you've cleaned the blood off them with a hosepipe... this is the up-close detail that you don't see anywhere else, and couldn't show to the world over its dinner for fear that it might choke.
Let the world enjoy its dinner, then, and let those who prefer a sharper-focussed picture of life listen to this. Despite the horrors that frequently emerge herein, there are comforts - the peculiar, the perverse, the amusing, the genuinely touching glimpses of life in far-flung corners of the world that remind us that life continues regardless; that depite the best efforts of some humans, humanity lives on.”Read full review »

“Out of the podcasts I have subscribed to this is my favourite. The BBC's correspondents provide amusing and touching reports from the countries they report in. Fergal Keane's 'Letter to Daniel' is incredible.”Read full review »
