Description
A war breaks out, a leader emerges, a revolution unfolds. How did it happen, and what are the implications for you?
Award-winning journalists Geraldine Doogue and Hamish Macdonald are joined by two new hosts, former foreign correspondent Kylie Morris and journalist Latika Bourke in London. Every day, they'll be discussing the biggest world events and how to make of sense of them.
Along with expert guests, they take a single topic and examine it with Australian eyes. Challenging, thoughtful and fun, Global Roaming is your user's guide to what the world is talking about.
