France24 does real embedded, produced, truly global journalism and it shows. I know it’s expensive, but I wish there were more of it; we need more than just the BBC, NPR, AJ & DW. (Side note: From what I can tell, France24 reporting seems less biased and more respectful of non-Western Europeans than either the BBC or DW, so congrats on doing that mostly right too!)

It’s nice to have the segments as podcasts, so you can listen or watch on the go.
