Seems like a great show. Why do you make it so hard to figure out who your hosts are? You’re missing out on a key superpower of the podcasting form. If we care about your hosts, we will care about your story.

Global is a great resource for getting informed about global issues and learning how they impact particular countries. The material is presented in an objective, clear manner that is easy for non-experts in international affairs to understand.

One sided, agenda driven reporting

Great to see a podcast that is so informative and tries to rise above common misconceptions and myths. Listens to the one on Cuba and loved it. Keep up the brilliant work. Bob, London, UK.

Jammed packed 45 min episodes that have all the background information I need about type country.

This podcast runs the gamut of in-depth analysis and discussion to lighter exchanges on both basic and rare facts about countries...All with a twist on the question of democracy. Perfect!

A new hope

Global does a great job of providing enough context that listeners can start from 0 and still understand high level discussions of current events in the counties discussed. However, while the context can be explained for listeners who might have limited knowledge, for listeners who are experts in topics, there is still fascinating insight and analysis of current events- great podcast on global affairs for anyone!

I love the Global podcast! It's a great source of history and must-know information on a variety of countries in a fun and engaging format!

Love love love this podcast. Great impartial information.

Best podcast ever!

What a titillating discussion. Love this podcast.

It's like "Presidential" for countries. Lots of cool insights and interesting interviews. Helps me better understand the context of current events.

The hosts of IRI's podcast, Global - are thorough, intelligent, engaging, and demonstrate proficient and professional interviews. The episodes are interesting, informative, and are easy to listen to - not only in format, but in structure. Great work!

I like the format of combining multiple interviews with people who have different perspectives about the country. Great way to get more in depth information about that country.

A fantastic blend of informative and entertaining!

The hosts are dynamic and the episodes are illuminating

I am studying International Relations in University. Podcast is very easy to understand about countries around world.

This podcast is perfect for students studying for the Foreign Service Officer's Test! Also good for anyone interested in foreign affairs. The tone is conversational, fun, and the content is very substantial.
