  • Thank you

    This show has been very informative and interesting. I love the style with which the host welcomes listeners to delve deeper into various economic subjects with correspondents and experts. (Also, in my opinion, the recent episode relating to European defense spending was just the right length.)

  • Long form vs Short form

    In answer to the question … longer versions of Econ World or not: Please provide both (as required). The deep dives are well worth the time spent and the shorter versions work too. This is not an “or” decision, it is an “and” opportunity. Thanks for all this deep and valuable information. It is difficult to find information that one can trust … Reuters is a place where I “feel safe”.
