Global, a podcast brought to you by IRI, is not your usual foreign policy podcast. Each episode dives into history, current events, and complex topics that impact how countries can become more democratic. Our dynamic hosts interview top country experts, including heads of state, elected officials, foreign policy analysts, journalists, and on-the-ground activists. Whether you’re a foreign policy expert learning about a new country in your portfolio, a world traveler looking for your next destination, or simply interested in a fresh perspective on international affairs, Global provides unique context from all corners of the world. If you have comments or feedback, you can contact our below producers by email at [email protected] or tweet us @IRIGlobal. Produced by Samuel R.
