Armenian News Network/Groong has been reporting on Armenian news in English since the late 1990s. The podcast, launched in 2020, publishes weekly episodes covering developments in Armenia, the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, Armenian diaspora communities, and the broader South Caucasus region.

Every episode brings together analysts, journalists, and policymakers to give Armenian news the depth it rarely receives in mainstream English-language media. Topics range from domestic Armenian politics and the economy to Armenia’s relations with Russia, the United States, the European Union, Turkey, and Azerbaijan.
