NPR: The G8 in Eight (Minutes)

The G8 in Eight (Minutes)

Filed under:

Listen to Luke and Alison speak with ForeignPolicy.com's Blake Hounshell, who boils down the G8 in eight minutes

So the Group of Eight is meeting in Germany. If you're like the BPP this is one of those stories you feel guilty about, because you know it's important, but you really have trouble mustering the curiosity to dig deeper, and the only storyline that has your interest at all is the catfight between the US and Russia. If you're not like the BPP, well, you're either legitimately super interested in the G8, or you're not reading this right now. But if you are reading this right now, which you are, you're about to get schooled, thanks to our new buddy Blake Hounshell, Web Editor at ForeignPolicy.com. The folks at FP have been doing a bangup job keeping tabs on the G8, in a way the rest of us can actually follow. We gave Blake eight minutes to tell us what each country is trying to get out of the G8, and what tangible results we can expect. Think he did it? There's only one way to find out...
