  • Amazing show

    Amazing show and brilliant host Marco - I’ve been listening to him since Boston Calling and didn’t realise he started hosting another podcast until now - so glad I did as I was very sad when Boston Calling ended in 2020. more

  • One of my absolute favorite shows/podcasts

    I’ve been listening to The World for a long time, both on NPR via terrestrial radio and as a podcast. Everything about this show is good, from Marco Werman to production to the topics covered to the focus on humanity among us all. I always come away from each episode feeling smarter and more aware of just how complex (and altogether too often tragic) the world can be. Many thanks to the entire team of producers, writers, journalists and hosts.

  • Have to wait a day longer !

    Really, I think this is a great great world news program, humanity being a necessary pivot to its reporting. The only reason I gave 4 stars and not 5 is because they moved the podcast of today’s episode to the next day instead of publishing it later on the same day. Who wants to have yesterday’s news today ? If it’s so important, and I do think it is, it should be published for everyone to have access to it a.s.a.p.
