For over 50 years, the BBC's
From Our Own Correspondent has been an opportunity for reporters to share
a bit of context, some relevant history, one or two of the characters encountered en route, some description of a foreign country or capital, in 5 or 10 minute segments.
The program is available online in various formats:
the weekly 30 minute version can be heard (in its entirety or individual segments) via the BBC website, or there are
a wide variety of podcasting options available for those who prefer to download. Alternately,
the BBC World Service daily 10 minute version can be heard online. For a different approach,
the FOOC Archives have the past few years' worth of segments, sorted by geographical region.
