For the vast majority of us, we don’t have the luxury of travelling to all 195 countries of the world and forming our views from first-hand experiences. So what is the one thing that is universal and can be accessed all over the world? The media. In this podcast, we will challenge the very first things that come to mind when we think of different countries around the world. We want to make you question how and from where you develop your opinions and to ask yourself, ‘Is that really a reliable source to base my opinion on or is there more to it?’.
