The World... it Really is That Good.

Just to be clear, The World, a daily one-hour "global perspective for an American audience" is probably the best thing going in terms of radio magazine/news right now. Take, for example August 19th, 2009.

In a single episode The World not only questions the significance of female politicians in Iran, giving a much needed Iranian female perspective...



...but has two excellent pieces of gay rights issues. One is a discussion of the only group fighting for gay rights in the arab world, in Beirut.



That is followed by a brief discussion of honouring the mistreated Alan Turing, the father of modern computing who was instrumental in cracking the nazi enigma code during WWII.
