The World

PRI’s “The World” is a one-hour, weekday radio news magazine offering a mix of news, features, interviews, and music from around the globe. Hosted by Lisa Mullins in Boston, it is the first global radio news program developed specifically for an American audience. The program presents listeners with a different perspective of the world’s people, events and trends. Drawing on its unique global network of international correspondents, PRI’s “The World” paints a broader picture of international events by reporting on a range of topics, including science, business, technology, sports, art, culture and music.
