Travel The World With 'Rough Translation'

Rough Translation started as a germ of an idea while Gregory Warner was reporting in Nairobi, Kenya, as an international correspondent for NPR. He was hearing all of these stories that connected him back to the world he'd left at home, and surprised him how the same subject might be perceived in different places around the world. Three years and a few dozen episodes later, the world has changed dramatically. And the show's original purpose feels more urgent than ever. Each episode looks at a moment we're living through to see how it's changing and challenging who we are and how we connect with each other.

This summer, most of to let you explore the globe - virtually. It pairs vivid storytelling with songs that relate to each story, hand-picked for you by NPR correspondents, producers and sources.
