Unreported World

Unreported World is Channel 4's long-running foreign affairs documentary series, now celebrating over 25 years on the air with 1.9 million global followers. The TV show sends reporters to some of the most overlooked and dangerous places on the planet. Episodes typically run about 25 minutes and feature on-the-ground reporting from rotating correspondents including Krishnan Guru-Murthy, Marcel Theroux, Ade Adepitan, and Giles Duley. The series covers stories that other news outlets simply don't reach, from modern slavery in South Korea and acid attack recovery in Bangladesh to mafia investigations in Sicily and child preachers in Brazil. Recent TV seasons have looked at unsolved murders in Israel's Arab communities, South Africa's Slay Queen phenomenon, and Colombia's drug war. The podcast version is the audio companion to the TV program, hosted on Acast. It is worth noting that the podcast feed has had inconsistent updates over the years. Some listeners report long gaps between new audio episodes, even while the TV show continues to air new content weekly on Channel 4 Fridays at 7:30 PM. With 82 podcast episodes and a 4.1-star rating from 13 reviewers, the audio version has a much smaller footprint than the television show's reputation would suggest. The reporting quality is consistently strong, and the stories they choose to tell genuinely expand your understanding of what is happening in parts of the world that mainstream news ignores.
