Review of The Global Condition


Beware: the WWW contains powerful and important messages compiled and presented expertly and with great understanding of the subject matter. These are simultaneously the program's strengths and weaknesses.

The presenter moves energetically from subject to subject, without leaving a clear trail for the listener to follow, unless you're journeying along equipped with an understanding in the major (and minor) issues of development cooperation.

The WWW is useful in that it is internationally oriented, something sorely lacking in American public radio. And granted, there is a goldmine of information available, but it's not for everyone. I doubt it was intended to be. Savory, but for special tastes.
