Show overview
The Global Story has been publishing since 2023, and across the 3 years since has built a catalogue of 559 episodes. That works out to roughly 240 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a near-daily cadence.
Episodes typically run twenty to thirty-five minutes — most land between 25 min and 27 min — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. It is catalogued as a EN-language News show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed earlier today, with 100 episodes already out so far this year. The busiest year was 2024, with 283 episodes published. Published by BBC.

But they are also a symptom of it. With Asma Khalid in DC, Tristan Redman in London, and the backing of the BBC’s international newsroom, The Global Story brings clarity to politics, business and foreign policy in a time of connection and disruption.Come and join us our live event.
