About our Guest:

A veteran of presenting news to students, Carl Azuz is the host and executive producer of The World from A to Z, a non-partisan news show that streams daily at WorldAtoZ.org and at YouTube.com/@TheWorldAtoZ. The fast-paced program covers current and historic events from across the globe, and it’s ‘pun’ctuated by Carl’s signature wordplay and personable delivery. Prior to The World from A to Z, Carl served 15 years as the anchor of CNN Student News/CNN 10, and he’s worked as a media literacy ambassador for the Poynter Institute and a reporter for Sonlight homeschool curriculum. When he’s not writing and producing news and puns, Carl can be found at the gym, in church, on the mountain bike trail, or watching Classical Hollywood Cinema.
