“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.”
