The Foreign Desk: global news stories - a podcast by RNZ

'The Foreign Desk' from Monocle is an award-winning show covering big global news stories in a bright and breezy style. According to its host, the Australian journalist Andrew Mueller, what sets The Foreign Desk apart is a guiding principle of actually speaking to at least one person from the country they're talking about. As Andrew says in an email, "It shouldn't be unusual, but it is". We play some of a recent primer on the Trump-Kim summit in Singapore called 'Do We Still Need International Summits?' which provides a good example of the show's signature style.
