Hosts Carolyn Beeler and Marco Werman give us a lightning round of news updates that might have flown under listeners’ radar: blobs on the beach in Canada, a food festival in Mexico and a soccer boycott in Nigeria.
The World is an independent newsroom. We’re not funded by billionaires; instead, we rely on readers and listeners like you. As a listener, you’re a crucial part of our team and our global community. Your support is vital to running our nonprofit newsroom, and we can’t do this work without you. Will you support The World with a gift today?
