Unusual take on the news of the world interspersed with interesting stories not heard other places. The host keeps the pace brisk and the tone bright. Seems to take particular glee in pointing out the ridiculous aspects of US culture which is undoubtedly well deserved though sometimes comes across a little snobby.

Interesting perspective of global news. I especially like hearing the views of correspondents from Japan and Switzerland. Too much time is dedicated to wine.
