  • My favorite

    Definitely my favorite news broadcast. The World offers a broad and always interesting perspective, covering major news stories with a different slant and topics I never would’ve heard about otherwise. I look forward to listening every weekday. Excellent work from the news team.

  • Great program

    I used to listen to The World in my car on my way back home and more often than not felt compelled to stay in the car listening just because didn’t want to miss a particular story. Now than I’m retired, I make sure I keep listening no matter where I am. Thank you all of you who make The World possible!

  • Becoming antisemitic

    This was one of the few global podcasts that didn’t seem to have a relentlessly antiIsrael stance. Now, like everyone else they managed to find the fringe Jews that are anti-Zionist, less than 3% of the Jewish population. They repeat libels, such as Israel’s committing a genocide with no editorial comment. I will not be listening anymore.

    The ability to hear the individuals behind news stories (big and small) is inspiring. I find that taking in the news in this way humanizes it far more than just reading impersonal headlines and articles in a news publication. The World dos a particularly amazing job of balancing the major,... more
