Remembering

Author: DW January 25, 2024 Duration: 29:59
In light of Holocaust Remembrance Day this week, we hear from those who survived the atrocities of Nazi Germany. We also hear from children who are trying to make ends meet in Cairo's garbage district and how a singer in Rio de Janeiro moves from train to train to offer her art.

Produced by DW, World in Progress is a documentary podcast that moves beyond the headlines to explore the intricate forces shaping our societies. Each episode is a deep dive into the ongoing stories of human development, political change, and cultural evolution. You’ll hear from people living through these shifts-activists, farmers, artists, and everyday citizens-whose voices provide a ground-level perspective on global issues. The reporting connects local experiences to wider patterns, examining how policy decisions in one part of the world ripple out to affect communities elsewhere. This isn't just about problems; it's about the complex, often surprising ways people are adapting and building their futures. Listening to this podcast means engaging with nuanced narratives about power, identity, and resilience, all reported with a commitment to depth and context. It’s for anyone who wants to understand the ‘how’ and ‘why’ behind the news, finding the human stories within larger themes of progress and conflict. The sound is immersive, blending field recordings with clear analysis, making each topic tangible. World in Progress consistently delivers thoughtful journalism that challenges simple narratives, offering a richer, more connected view of our changing planet through the medium of audio documentary.
