USAID Leads Podcast
Next up on obscure podcasts from the government is the U.S. Agency for International Development, more commonly known as USAID. The agency’s podcast, USAID Leads, focuses on showcasing its expertise and its “innovative approach to international development.”
Like other government podcasts, USAID Leads interviews people who work at the agency, often folks with very long titles and sounds like a typical interview-style podcast you’d find online. The show has analyzed America’s aid response to Hurricane Dorian in 2019 and the ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo in 2018. Another episode discussed how USAID approaches support to women and girls abroad.
After publishing a few podcasts in 2018 and 2019, USAID Leads has seemingly stopped releasing new episodes. Given that the agency deals with disaster and crises, though, you can’t really blame it for putting a podcast on the back burner.
