I listen to the World Next Week 'religiously' and the previous technical difficulties seemed to have been conquered..until now. I cannot play this week's (6 September) programme on my iPod. It plays fine on the computer, but when I open it on my iPod, it doesn't play and just shuts down immediately. :-(

Hopefully, it's just a one-off.

My go to current affairs podcast to get set for the potential foreign policy issues in the week ahead. Great, well balanced insight.

Very broad, very informative. Excellent duo

Always enjoyable and insightful, this is one of the best summaries of global affairs for people interested in the topic.

This is a remarkable 30 minute shot in the arm for those who have an interest in world affairs and want an informed overview which does not get too technical. The format is friendly, in the form of a dialogue between two people who know their stuff. I am European but I do not find the North American affiliation of the presenters to be anything less than internationalist, insofar as one can be so. For me it is is crucial weekend listening as I move around my city. Thanks CFR: this is brilliant: I have found nothing quite like it (although The Economist does a similar thing on a smaller scale).
