People in the Red Vest Podcast
When disaster strikes, the sight of someone wearing a red vest is a sign that help has arrived. In this podcast, you'll meet the People in the Red Vest: people from the Red Cross and Red Crescent who have dedicated their lives to helping others before, during and after emergencies. We talk to them about the world's biggest humanitarian crises, the solutions, and what inspires them to keep going.
