Economist Podcasts - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Absolutely best of the best. If you want to keep track of current events and history with verified facts, diligent reporting, and expert analysis, this is the place to be. I am incomplete without my daily updates from the Economist.

A great way to keep up with the top global stories in a concise and informative way. I especially appreciate that I can listen in 3 times a day and not get bombarded with constant notifications

One of my top 3 podcasts. Really good reporting and audio. Plan to subscribe.
But please cut the annoying sound effect (like a news beeping) at the end of the podcasts. Really disturbing at night time

Love the Economist podcasts and delighted to be paying a very small amount to ensure you can keep up - and expand - on the excellent reporting.

I used to be a fan but now that they’ve basically made all their content subscription based, I’m unsubscribing. Some may find value in what they’re charging but in this day & age, there are so many free sources of high quality news, commentary, and information, it’s not necessary to have yet another subscription. It may be $2/month or whatever but all these deaths by a thousand cuts really do add up.

Very frustrated that the premium subscription has ads on the shows that I’ve listened to so far, especially including the shows that are supposedly ad-free. Also frustrated that the intelligence shows still have ads — I get that they’re available to non subscribers, but why aren’t there exclusive no-ad copies of the same episodes?
