“Enjoying Rosie’s tone of experience
Brief reviews informative and often leading to follow-up in the rest of the economist”

“I really enjoy the depth and consistent day-to-day quality of the podcast. The new weekend sessions are great. My one complaint is that Jason needs a better quality microphone. His audio quality differs greatly from the other host and most guests. Some days it just irritates me. Keep up the good...”Read full review »

“The latest episode featured an extremely biased and unsophisticated analysis of the rise of housing costs around the world and, in the case of Stockholm, squarely laid the blame on rent control policies for the housing crisis there. Their understanding of rent control is elementary, as they...”Read full review »

“Has strayed too far to the left; even moderate conservative viewpoints are presented as those of far right fascists. The hosts are stuck in their bubble. Had to stop listening as the show lacks impartiality.”

“Since the new presenter took over, it has lost its objectivity. The left progressive (woke) leanings of the new presenter are unrestrained and ruined this once thoughtful and interesting podcast. If this supposed to make me want to pay for access to the rest of the economist podcasts or to the...”Read full review »

“I typically look to the economist for fair, unbiased, and agenda-free content. This podcast use to be excellent at that. However, the new cohost makes her political agenda clear, which means it likely influences the editorial selections. I now consider this just another partisan news source.”

“I don’t know if intended but this podcast often has more in common with the leaders in the magazine (editorials) than news. An example is their podcast on May 1 about Columbia and the issues on college campuses. It was a very long editorial disguised as news. The podcast should have accurately...”Read full review »

“It’s is unashamed Democrat /liberal blog but when it stays off western politics (climate change , brexit, trump etc ) it’s very good
It’s Brexit correspondent, is now openly hostile, that not reporting its propaganda”

“Left bent? Continual beating up the West, praising China and the CCP? Inaccurate reporting and selective editing; Economist seems to have shifted from centre right to far left with an unhealthy focus on left leaning social justice issues and beat-up on what’s wrong with the West. I just want...”Read full review »

“The choice of subjects are generally good but the correspondents and host are woke lefties with little balance and continue to push the left agenda, albeit subtly but sometimes with a sledgehammer. Considering the newspaper, some balance should be the minimum.

“Agree with other reviewers that Jason’s lovely English voice makes this podcast fantastic to listen to in the morning.
I don’t want to wake up to urban/african accents and Ore’s PC preaching and race baiting.
Such a shame.”

“To hear both an advert by BP lying about their climate wrecking behaviour, AND a feature on carbon capture that was WOEFULLY skewed AGAINST what scientists and IPCC reports have been declaring in the last few years. I don’t know why I’m surprised but it’s incredibly dangerous.”

“I’m really disappointed in you, Intelligence team. How could you run an entire story on bungee jumping without even a single mention of its origin as a rite of passage for the ni-Vanuatu on Pentecost Island?
You actually refer to that white man as “inventing” the sport. Shame on you.”
