“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, climate change, and religion in addition to just events or politics coverage. As an audio program, the stories often feature interviews between correspondents, local experts, and even ordinary (or not so ordinary) folks; these conversations provide not only facts but also the opportunity to hear international viewpoints directly.
My only issue, as a daily listener, is that it appears many “special” episodes often re-air segments previously aired in the prior weeks or months. This can make these episodes a bit repetitive, but only if you are really listening attentively most days.”
