S2, E6: On Board, On the Ground: Covering the Pope's Trip to Africa

What's it like to be a journalist traveling with the Pope across Africa? In the latest episode of the Eurovision News Podcast, host Giles Gibson is in Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea, speaking to journalists covering Pope Leo's visit to four African nations. Foreign correspondents from France, Germany and the U.S. describe how the Pope responded to U.S. President Donald Trump's public attacks; the balancing act of meeting and criticizing authoritarian leaders; and how press conferences work at 30,000 feet, on board the papal plane. Guests: Motoko Rich (New York Times); Sarah Belouezzane (Le Monde); Verena Schälter (ARD)
