Hi, Steve.
…I sure wish I could be there.
Could you or one of the panelists mention my contact info and a few
words about what The World is looking for?

Here's info from AIR's pitch page on The World…

The World

series: The World is a co-production of the BBC World Service, Public
Radio International and WGBH. It's based in Boston and airs on more than
230 public radio stations nationally. Although the BBC World Service
co-produces the show, The World aims to speak directly to its US
audience and ensure that each story feels relevant to the American
listener. At the same time, the focus is on international news, so that
each story - even those reported in the U.S. - must make a strong global
connection. show: one hour, daily / M-F

segments: Vary, but keep in mind that we're interested in relatively
short hard news pieces (4 minutes or less). That said, we've aired
mini-documentaries as long as 15 minutes. Our daily Geo Quiz and Global
Hit segments are always looking for good material, and both allow for
varying lengths and creative story treatment. Check out previous
programs and the Geo Quiz and Global Hit archives on our website
www.theworld.org

pitch: By email; feel free to follow up with a phone call
(1-800-884-2344).
