Presented by Noah Adams, this series introduces you not only to far-off locations and unusual destinations, but also to the people who inhabit them-or, as in Postcards Around the Globe, those who try to visit them. Originally heard on All Things Considered and Morning Edition, the stories gathered here are entertaining, provacative, and moving. NPR has correspondents all over the world. Postcards Around the Globe draws on this fact and as listeners learn, most meet with friendliness and hospitality, even in the most out-of-the-way places. Includes "Robot Jockeys Give Camel Racing a Modern Twist" and "Adventurers Cross the Globe by Foot and Hand" among others. 1 Hour on 1 CD.
