Paris, Feb. 18, 2025 – Worldcrunch, the pioneering global journalism outlet that brings the world’s best journalism into English, is proud to announce the launch of “6 Minutes,” a daily news podcast that swiftly covers the latest stories making headlines in the international press.
Monday through Friday, “6 Minutes” delivers a fast-paced, insightful briefing on the most pressing global news, leveraging Worldcrunch’s unique access to top stories from leading news sources around the world, regardless of language or geography.
Hosted by members of our Paris-based crew of journalists, the podcast helps decipher the day’s news into clear, engaging narratives that fit seamlessly into an efficient podcasting format.
“It’s not always easy to stay informed — considering both how busy we are and how complex our world has become,” said Jeff Israely, editor of Worldcrunch. “We wanted to create a format that is truly international, and taps into our expertise and exclusive access to top global press outlets. We also wanted it to be quick to consume. We’ve been testing with our audiences, and six minutes appears to be the ideal length. We also think it’s the perfect name.”
