Customer Reviews
A great way to listen to Economist articles
I used to make it a point to listen to at least all the Leaders in every Economist issue on their “Economist in Audio” podcast, but I don’t have time to do that any more. But between this podcast and the Economist’s Intelligence podcast, I feel like I’m getting brief but detailed glimpses into what’s going on in the world. I hope they set up a podcast just for Leaders at some point, but until that day this is a great substitute!
Economy
There are few sources better than this podcast on hitting key economic issues across the globe.
Hate the new format
There are SO MANY daily podcasts that I’m literally drowning in them. This one used to be unique & only once a week, which made it easy to digest and efficient. Literally subscribed to get access to it when it went behind a paywall. Now it’s overwhelming my feed like every other podcast ☹️
