Thank you for these book recommendations
I gifted one (DCC) to my son for his birthday and he was thrilled that I had heard of it!
Turns out he’s on book seven! Apple were unbelievably helpful in changing it and that involved speaking to a HUMAN.
Since when has the economist become a sucker to angry blue haired nose-pierced anti-Israel liberal leftist ‘activists’? Small wonder you have lost your standing. Grow a backbone!
Also, you should provide an E Mail for Feedback, so that I don‘t have to write this as a review. I gave a low score bc I thought the culture section on celeb book clubs was utterly embarassing and snobbish. Saying that Instead of listening to reviews I should read every book is quite naive, maybe your culture correspondent has too much time on her hands 😂.To clarify: I have never listened to celeb book clubs and prob never will, though I was still cringing at the segment. Thank you
Besides all the other wonderful content on this podcast, I really look forward to the obituaries segment. Especially, Anne Wroe: always find her voice, her choices of the wide variety of people to highlight, and her writing, a joy to listen to and follow up on. Thank you Economist!
Today they decided to become a propaganda outlet for the trump regime and I canceled my economist subscriptions in their entirety. He has never been brave, and you have been brainwashed. Shameful reporting.
