Good week/bad week: superheroes and sushi

The World

We join with The Week Magazine to take a look back at the best and the worst of last week. The past seven days were pretty good for real life super-heroes, as a man dressed as Spider-Man stopped a theft in progress at a comic book store. Meanwhile, PETA accused two New York restaurants of serving live octopus.

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!
