Goooood morning, it’s your favorite source for all things pod- me… Ginni Saraswati! Yes, I know, I know, we’re only at week two of these podpoppin’, earthshattering updates, but how much fun are these with your bowl of granola every morning?!?!

Now that you’re cerealed-up, let’s get down to business.

This weeks top pods will come as little surprise to anyone who’s been paying attention to the news these last few weeks. Everybody’s talkin’ about Ukraine. So in light of current events, I thought I’d highlight some of the most streamed episodes from a few different pods if you’re looking for more information about what’s happening.

And because this is a global-reaching crisis, we’re going to see what’s trending around the world. 

• In the US, The Daily released 2 top-streaming episodes last week: The Story Behind a War Defining Photo, and How Russians See the War in Ukraine. 
• In Canada, CBC’s Front Burner released The Risks of a No-fly Zone over Ukraine
• In the UK, The Guardian’s podcast Today in Focus put out an episode called The Wagner Group’s Shadow Mission in Ukraine.
• And my friends over in Australia, what are they listening to? Last week’s episode of the Guardian’s Full Story called What’s Driving Vladamir Putin’s Assault on Ukraine raked in the ratings. 

So, there you have it. Let’s hope that next week brings some positive news on this front. Cheers to that!
