Listen Later

American voters are about to choose their next president, but whoever takes office will influence matters far beyond US borders. On the eve of the presidential election, we'll get to the heart of what's at stake in the Middle East, Latin America, Asia and Africa.

Listen to today’s Music Heard on Air.
