Description:
Anchored by Ray Suarez, and hosted by a team of prominent news broadcasters, including Garrick Utley, Steve Roberts, Marvin Kalb, and Margaret Warner, this series examines key issues in international affairs and U.S. foreign policy. It features archival material and original analysis, and provides the historical context essential to understanding pressing international issues.
The program format used in America Abroad is diverse and compelling. Each program includes a history segment, featuring rare, archival audio that provides crucial historical context for the topic under discussion. Each program also presents an "eyewitness" segment that includes stories from senior policymakers, national leaders, or others involved in the major events of the last century.
Currently broadcast bi-monthly. Began distribution by PRI February, 2003.
