The Weekend Intelligence: Ibiza: When the party’s over

Everyone knows Ibiza for its all-night parties, packed dance floors and thumping music. The island’s iconic nightlife brings in millions of tourists each summer. But what happens when those parties end? When the hoards go home… The Economist’s Carla Subirana has grown up spending summers in her family’s house in Ibiza. This time she travels to the island in November to speak to those who live there in the shadow of the parties.

Assisted dying: why Britain should back a change

Should people have the right to choose how they die? Though many Britons support the principle, a vote on assisted dying in the House of Commons may fail. Donald Trump reshaped the Supreme Court in his first term. His second act could be just as dramatic (09:30). And remembering figurative painter Frank Auerbach (18:10).

AI for science: Demis Hassabis, Jennifer Doudna and James Manyika

The most transformational impact of AI will probably be to make science faster and more productive. Solve that problem and you can do more great things even faster—alleviate disease, tackle climate change or help astronomers explore new worlds. In this episode, we speak to both the makers of AI models and the researchers who are already seeing the benefits of AI in their laboratories. Alok Jha, The Economist’s science and technology editor, interviews Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind, and James Manyika, senior vice president of research, technology and society at Google. Jennifer Doudna, founder of the Innovative Genomics Institute, tells us how AI is already making a difference in her labs. The Economist’s Alex Hern considers the future of the field. For more on AI in science, check out our previous episodes of Babbage: how AI promises to revolutionise science (September 2023), our two-parter on AI and health (May 2024) and our series on the science that built the AI revolution (March 2024).

A review on Anne’s interview with Ted Cruz

2022/07/27

anonnimous user 32@

With customary 20/20 hindsight, I would have hoped that Anne McElvoy challenged senator Cruz on his immigration policy. He is proud of the fact that his father came to America with nothing but 100 dollars sewn into his pocket. I wonder what would be the fate of a person like his father arriving at the border today? Would his point-based immigration policy embrace his father like it used to? Perhaps we would not need to deal with a senator like Ted Cruz today if his policy was in effect when his father arrived at the U.S. I wonder if he noticed the irony.
Brilliant but could do with some new voices

Everyone should listen!

I really love listening to this podcast and learn so much from it. However(I can't work our how to review one particular episode) the the interview with Vogues' Anna Wintour really annoyed and disappointed me. Anne McElvoy had the rare opportunity with a living legend and her journalism was very "Daily Mail". Her use of the words vulgar and describing larger models as fat made my skin crawl. Her questions often seemed out of touch and provocative for the sake of it. Her very posh accent is pretty hard to understand at the best of times but she really amped up the snob in this episode. It would be really refreshing to have a more culturally aware individual handle these type of interviews. Love the show and hope they continue delivering truthful and insightful news FOR ALL.
Amazing quality, surprised it’s free!

skeptic, very

This is top notch journalism, non-partisan POV. Always down to earth and accessible. Great interviews, interesting off-the beaten path articles from time to time. Must-listen!
Is it really the interviewer’s problem?
