BBC World Service: The Fifth Floor

The Fifth Floor presents "a fresh look at the stories of the week" with journalists from BBC's 27 language sections. Hosted by David Amanor, the podcast series is reminiscent of a British take on "This American Life" focused on stories from around the world. Episodes tend to focus on the idiographic details of larger issues. For instance, recent programs have explored the story of Rio de Janeiro through the lens of Bossa Nova, a view into the Egyptian court system, and the story of how a British journalist stopped an execution in Pakistan. The site also features galleries related to recent episodes and links to a variety of other BBC stations, categories, and programs.
