The Global Story, a daily podcast from BBC News, launches this September hosted by former National Public Radio (NPR) White House correspondent Asma Khalid (above) and former reporter at Al Jazeera, Tristan Redman. With Khalid in Washington DC and Redman in London, the podcast will cover America and the world, and how each shapes the other.
The world order is shifting. Old alliances are fraying, autocrats are on the rise, and global trade is in turmoil. Some of this turbulence can be traced to decisions made in the US, but America isn’t just a cause of upheaval abroad, its politics are also a symptom of it. The Global Story is a joint project by the BBC World Service and BBC Studios.
