A nice review of in the Times today 😀 The CAR episode Patricia Nicol mentions in her piece will drop next Saturday - worth keeping an eye out for it. For now, you could listen/subscribe/like an episode on leader al and the fiery vox pops debates in ahead of

'Mick Smith, recalls being at the World Service's BBC Monitoring in 1989 when an agitated Iranian colleague ran over with news of Salman Rushdie. "What the f***'s a fatwa?" Smith demanded. Now BBC Monitoring has its own podcast, The Global Jigsaw. Not heard of BBC Monitoring? Set up by the government before the Second World War to eavesdrop on Axis outlets, its multilinguists today claim to monitor more than 3,000 media sources in about 150 countries and 100 languages to help to interpret the world and key events. Presented by the Bulgarian-born Krassimira Twigg, each weekly episode of The Global Jigsaw promises to go in depth on one place and issue. Episode one was an often surprising, even entertaining study of the jihadist Abu Mohammad al-Jawlani, a militant leader in Idlib, Syria, now trying to rebrand himself as a people's politician. The US State Department, which has a $10 million bounty on his head, seems unconvinced. I have listened to another episode about Russia and the Wagner Group's infiltration in the mineral-rich Central African Republic. You are among authoritative wonks here. The tone is worthy, but this is a worthwhile, informative undertaking and listen. And it's a good reminder of BBC World News's soft power strength, which I imagine is part of the intention.'
