The Weekend Intelligence: Baseball at the border
Sarah Birke and Aryn Braun report frequently on tensions at the border between America and Mexico—even more so during a year in which both countries have elections. But rarely do you hear from the people who experience life on the border every day, and learn how that has changed.
In this episode of the Weekend Intelligence Sarah and Aryn tell the story of the world’s only professional bi-national baseball team, Los Tecolotes de los dos Laredos. It is a tale of a team—and a community—striving for the fronterizo way of life.
The Weekend Intelligence is free for anyone to enjoy for a limited time. To continue listening to this and other award-winning podcasts by The Economist, subscribe to Economist Podcasts+ for only $25/year - half off the usual price.

What a double standard?
"The more Russians we kill right now, the fewer will be left for our children to kill." Is this is acceptable for you? So let`s make a mental exercise and change "russians" to "jews". Still acceptable? Ugh, that’s racist
Two small hills
Why does the podcast start with “your world”? Is Jason not from this world? At the end maybe it would be politer to insert the word “please” when asking for a review?
When the podcast started it seemed that certain parts of recent history were a complete mystery to Jason. The episode on the history of the troubles in Ireland was excruciating. Luckily he has improved.
Taiwan is not a country, it is part of China.
You have lowest knowledge of world politics. Shame on you. You’re the so-called “Fake media” as Trump said. Fake, Fake, Fake
