Hey everyone, Mike here. You know, with everything that's going on around the globe, do you ever

wonder what the world thinks about America's role in global events? These days you probably do.

Well, the world is a podcast that delivers insights from voices you just won't hear anywhere else.

They cover American stories through the eyes of foreign observers, so listening to the

world is like stepping outside of the U.S. and seeing how the rest of the world views us. And I mean

firsthand accounts from frontline diplomats, refugees, environmental scientists, and protesters.

The world dives deep in the global security, climate, migration, and public health, not just the headlines, but the real human stories behind them. They've already racked up 2.5 million listeners per week, and I can see why.

Recent episodes that really caught my attention include a look at how

international trade wars started by, well, you know who, have led to international economic

volatility, a number of excellent episodes on Russia and Ukraine, how the longstanding friendship

between the U.S. and Canada is now about as unfriendly as it's been since,

I don't know, maybe the war of 1812.

Anyway, a lot of great stuff.

Here's a 30-second trailer from the hosts, Marco Werman and Carolyn Beeler, to give you a sense of their voices.

I'm Carolyn Beeler.

And I'm Marco Werman.

We're with the world, Public Radio's leading global news program.

We cover the biggest news events developing every day and give you the context you need to make sense of them.

And Carolyn, I also like our smaller stories, tales of discovery and human kindness, things that make us laugh.

Stories that kind of shrink our world and make us feel more connected.
