DAILY NEWS
A sophisticated, predatory, multi-billion dollar industry is emerging from the shadows. It already rivals the size of the illicit drug trade. And it’s about to get bigger and much more powerful. The Economist’s Sue-Lin Wong follows a trail that starts with the collapse of a bank in rural Kansas to uncover a global, underground scam economy built around human trafficking, corruption and money laundering. Can it be stopped? To listen to the full series subscribe to Economist Podcasts+.

I prefer the British accents. It’s a solid reminder that this is not American partisan and attention grabbing news but instead the real thing with reporting on both sides of most stories and neutral presentation of their reporting without heavy expression of personal opinions.
Great to listen to background news

Not just good journalism but also well presented. With music, cliff hangers and good timing. Pity of the very british accents. But then these accents makes it a bit more interesting. Well done Jason and Team. And congratulations on your 200th issue Jason missed you during your holiday. I understand it is a big responsibility and tiring to do this every week day. But i never notice. Even if all is scripted the dialogues sound real. Ore is a great addition her voice is great. The weekend edition is a wonderful way to do my Sunday morning Dog walk. Emphatic and well scripted. These in depth podcasts are a clear addition to the newspaper

Un format qui permet une réflexion approfondie sur les sujets, des invités de grande qualité et très divers, une animation très agréable. Bravo. Je ne rate aucun épisode.
