    Highly recommend!!
    Love this podcast!! It is a great way to hear what is happening in the world in a concise way- without the commentary that so many co temporary news sources provide. They sort the news by continent, and you get a really well-rounded look at what is happening in the world each day in only seven minutes. Highly recommend!!
