For today’s geo quiz we were looking for China’s largest desert. It’s located in the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region of China. The answer is the Taklamakan desert where an endurance race is about to begin. Eric Lahaie is one of the runners and spoke to anchor Jeb Sharp.

Do you support journalism that strengthens our democracy?

At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.

Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever!
