“Amazing show and brilliant host Marco - I’ve been listening to him since Boston Calling and didn’t realise he started hosting another podcast until now - so glad I did as I was very sad when Boston Calling ended in 2020.
Marco is a brilliant journalist and host - and his voice is super soothing...”Read full review »

“I’ve been listening to The World for a long time, both on NPR via terrestrial radio and as a podcast. Everything about this show is good, from Marco Werman to production to the topics covered to the focus on humanity among us all. I always come away from each episode feeling smarter and more...”Read full review »

“Really, I think this is a great great world news program, humanity being a necessary pivot to its reporting. The only reason I gave 4 stars and not 5 is because they moved the podcast of today’s episode to the next day instead of publishing it later on the same day. Who wants to have yesterday’s...”Read full review »

“The claimed publishing time of 2:00pm the day before, when it shows up at 10:00am, leads me to suspect there are other inaccuracises. Previous to the last few days, it wasn't broke, so don't fix it.”Read full review »

“I first heard the world on NPR and now I subscribe to the podcast so I never miss an episode. I enjoy the program’s global perspective on the news. There is always coverage of the global south in addition to just a focus on say the US plus G20 or so. The stories often touch on culture, arts,...”Read full review »

“The World on NPR, is one of the best radio news shows on NPR. Hosted by Marco Werman, considering all of the professional people on NPR that is saying a lot. Marco Werman has that professional steady voice and cadens that you recognize immediately. Thank You Marco”

“...weirdly and subtley anti-israel, like much of western/liberal media. not cool. needs a more embedded and informed correspondent such as daniel estrin of NPR. i am a loyal, dedicated listener of The World, but had to turn a recent episode off, as it was dwelling on the account of some arab...”Read full review »

“The World is an excellent antidote to the smarmy, we-know-best smugness of mainstream media, whether commercial or public. Rather than trying to be your trusted best friend, the hosts largely just ferret out really good interviews that personalize international stories. The World's coverage...”Read full review »

“Useless Trauma porn interspersed with farcical feel good stories and apparently music for some reason. Not the news. The editors should be fired, do they seriously review these stories and think they are valid or add anything to society?”

“Biased, racist, one sided reports by ill-minded so called “journalists” who always seek the dark side of the countries/regions they cover. The show even dared to ask for donation in recent years while being funded by US oligarchs.”

“The fact that NPR chooses not to report on important election wins by republicans on 11/3/21 shows how disconnected and biased they are. I am a moderate liberal and I am appalled by such partisan reporting. They became a puppet of progressive liberals. Time to unfollow.”
