  • Dungeon Crawler Carl

    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!

  • Culture Correspondents that don‘t know who Dua Lipa is, shouldn‘t be Culture Correspondents 😂😂

    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

  • Obituaries

    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!

  • Used to listen until today

    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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Putin’s options: an oligarch speaks out
Q: What does Melnichenko's stance reveal about the future of Russia under Putin?
His position suggests elites fear a dead end and are contemplating whether the regime can be reformed or if escalation will be used to maintain control, indicating a potential shift in the internal balance of power.
Putin’s options: an oligarch speaks out
Q: Who is Melnichenko and why is he featured so prominently?
He is one of Russia's top oligarchs, an industrialist with holdings in fertilizer, coal, and steel; his return to Russia and renewed focus on politics make him a pivotal lens on how elite interests intersect with national direction.
Marine warfare: Le Pen runs for president
Q: Sophie, what happened yesterday that changed the campaign landscape?
The Court of Appeal in Paris upheld the conviction but shortened the ban on running, which cleared Marine Le Pen to enter the presidential race and begin the campaign, while maintaining her appeal.
Continental rift: NATO’s tense summit
Q: What are the main agenda items NATO officials aim to push at the Ankara summit?
They want to emphasize increased defence spending, bolster the defense industrial base to turn money into real weapons, and recommit to defending Ukraine, while watching for outside pressures like Iran and debates over American presence.
Latin lessons: the Donroe-doctrine boost
Q: So you say Latin America is benefiting from Trumpian chaos, Cerian, just how well is it actually doing?
Cerian explains that Latin America has seen a surprising level of capital inflows, with many countries adopting floating or dollar-pegged currencies and stronger inflation targeting, which has stabilized political and financial conditions more than in the past, attracting both public and private investment.
