Customer Reviews
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 ☹️
Impressive Reporting
I have taken The Economist for years. The articles were well written and, surprisingly supported by data and facts. The readers on the app are very good reading material that for some find challenging. The Economist has a center right orientation which may be interpreted in the US, especially after the recent administration ‘s distortion of speaking and writing with a contemptuous attitude to experts and facts. Decades ago experience in the college market showed a steep drop in rigor over time both in textbooks, demands of professors and student interest in learning. I believe I see the results of that period of relaxation of standards in politicians and in many other college graduates in the business world. Stay the course Economst.
