Best way to stay informed
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.

More reviews of The World
If you are tired of NPR "puppy" stories and you'd like your news in longer, less repetitive chunks, PRI The World gives you insights into different stories than are covered elsewhere. I could do without the geo quiz but it's one of the shows I turn to most often.Read full review »

Interesting broadcast. So many imports we can do without.

I've been listening religiously via podcast while at work for a while now, and if I miss an episode, I earmark it to listen to it at a later date. I wish I could say the same of the other podcasts I subscribe to!Read full review »
