PRI's The World - Geo Quiz Podcast 281
On Mecca Time

When it's noon in the city of Los Angeles --- what time is it in Mecca, Saudi Arabia? The answer may depend on whom you ask...some Muslim scientists are calling for abandoning the G-M-T standard. We'll tell you why, when we bring you the answer.

The World's Geo Quiz tests your knowledge of world geography, and introduces you to fascinating people and places around the globe. The World is a US-based international news and analysis program co-produced by the BBC World Service, Public Radio International, and WGBH Boston.
