From our archive: Taylor's version (part two)

Taylor Swift’s rise to the top of the music industry has not been without controversy. A dispute with her old record label could have derailed the singer’s career—but instead, she used it to propel herself to superstardom. In the second of two special episodes from August 2024, “Money Talks” host Alice Fulwood gets the inside story of the battle to acquire the rights to Swift’s first six albums. Then she finds out how the artist used the story of the dispute to remake the music industry to her advantage. Hosts: Alice Fulwood, Tom Lee-Devlin and Mike Bird. Guests: Tim Ingham, the founder of Music Business Worldwide; Kristelia García of the Georgetown University Law Center; Michael Schill of the Darden School of Business; and Bill Werde, former editorial director of Billboard magazine, current director of the Bandier Program at Syracuse University and author of the “Full Rate No Cap” newsletter.

Everytown, China (part two): the young

Spare a thought for China’s youngsters. Unlike their parents, who came of age at a time when it wasn’t hard to catch a ride on China’s economic elevator, young Chinese have fewer opportunities. Despite hard work and university degrees, many are priced out of the property market. In a country where having an apartment is generally a prerequisite for marriage, and bride prices can demolish a family’s savings, that institution is increasingly out of reach. The result is a generation of people who are risk-averse, which becomes clear when you talk with people in Yichun, China’s “median city”. In the second episode of a two-part series, David Rennie, The Economist’s geopolitics editor, and Alice Su, our senior China correspondent, return to Yichun to ask its younger residents if they are hopeful or fearful about the future.

Our correspondent attends the annual bash of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. As Gulf countries diversify away from oil, their leaders are shifting their focus to science and innovation (11:03).

Informative, interesting, professional & my favourite podcast
Lost!

The Economist lost Zeitgeist. Promoting a cancer conference with tobacco sponsors? Really? This hurts credibility so bad, worse yet in this era of post truth. I need to rely on the people whose news I am reading. So I decided to leave this podcast behind. It really feels sometimes out of touch, outdated and lost in editorial, lack overhyping AI so hard. Plus, I follow too many news podcasts and need to cut back on some as days are really busy. Let me start here, and keep NPR, Indicator, Planet Money, Guardian, LBC, Yle, Scene on Radio.
Well researched, accurate credible and entertaining
