Il Mondo (Internazionale)

What it actually is

Every weekday at six in the morning, two stories from outside Italy chosen by the Internazionale newsroom and explained by the hosts, often with a correspondent on the line. Fifteen minutes and two topics is about the most a learner can absorb in one sitting, and the international subject matter means you often already know the story in your own language — which does half the comprehension work for you. Free and daily, no transcripts.
