Another Amazing series! (Make C&B, Money Talks have a similar standard)
As a longtime subscriber, this thoughtful, thorough and compelling podcast series — just as with the Drum Tower (China focused) podcast series — showcases the best of The Economist. The Babbage (science/tech podcast) is also quite good, like the other two mentioned, in both content and tone. Excruciating to to read the US coverage in print and listen to the Checks & Balances (US focus) and Money Talks (finance) pods, however as these are jejune in tone and, in the case of C&B, just full of millennial-ish ivy leaguer perspectives — all give a very one sided & shallow look at the US scene. Regularly consider unsubscribing & moving to the FT bc of print US & C&B pod coverage, esp the terrible right wing framed & shallow reporting by the Suich-Bass and new C&B co-presenter Kahloon. Howard, Prideaux & Fasman were a good team, not perfect, but good and solid.

I enjoyed episode 1, but I have yet to read or hear anything that encapsulates my time in Moscow more...Read full review »

This is currently one of the best podcasts around. The issues it explores are of critical currency, its insights are profound and the crafting of the narrative gives it great emotional heft. Arkady Ostrovsky has produced a profound piece of journalism that deserves as wide an audience as possible.
