Explaining Puerto Rico as America's 51st state?

Available for over a year

A recent edition of The Explanation asked “Could Puerto Rico become America's 51st state?” We hear your feedback on this series and the show’s presenter Claire Graham gives us her explanation of how news stories such as this are chosen. Plus, listeners query if the World Service is striking the right balance on coverage of US politics and also ask if a recent edition of Crowd Science was just too far-fetched to understand. Presenter: Rajan Datar Producer: Howard Shannon A Whistledown production for BBC World Service
