Reaching the 87% is a podcast about the world's population that doesn't live in a free media environment. That is, 87% of humans do not have unfettered access to unbiased, balanced and legitimate news and information. In this podcast we'll look at how that impacts their lives and speak with the brave men and women who are working to provide the truth.

Reaching the 87% is a production of the Broadcasting Board of Governors, the independent federal agency that oversees all U.S. civilian international media. More information can be found at bbg.gov.
