History
Template:Cleanup section In 1997, The World began producing a segment entitled "Global Hit", highlighting musicians and musical trends in the global news context.[1]
Lisa Mullins hosted The World from 1998 to 2013. Since 2010, Werman has stepped in for Mullins as host. Beginning in 2013, he has served as the show's full-time host.[2]
On April 14, 2020, the BBC announced it would end its production partnership on The World effectively July 1; the announcement caused WAMU in Washington, D.C. to move the show back to its 8 p.m. timeslot.[3] The last episode of Boston Calling aired on June 27.[4]
In July 2022, Werman began producing The World from the University of California, San Diego to help develop the university's Democracy Lab.[5] As of June 2023, he broadcasts two days a week from the Department of Communication Social Sciences Research building.[6]
On December 5th, 2023, it was announced that The World reporter Carolyn Beeler would join Werman as the program's co-host. Beeler joined The World as a reporter in 2015. At the time of her becoming co-host, she oversaw the show's environmental coverage. [7]

The World is produced from the Nan and Bill Harris Studios at the WGBH building in Boston, Massachusetts.[8] The show airs on over 300 public radio stations and has 2.5 million weekly listeners.[3] Additionally, portions of The World aired in the United Kingdom as Boston Calling until 2020 and in whole in Canada through CBC Radio One.[4][9]
The theme music of The World was produced by Eric Goldberg, who received the gig in 1995. In February 2015, the theme was redone to introduce a more contemporary sound with Marco Werman's new role.[10] The current theme was written by Ned Porter.[11]
A new theme song was commissioned in 2019.
