The World in Brief from The Economist - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Great daily rundown. Thoughtful and global coverage. I listened daily for a year and then subscribed to the Economist - love that their full weekly editions are on audio.

I enjoy this podcast: Just what I like—short news clips and non partisan. However when they stitch the episode segments together the first syllable of each news item gets cut off, sometimes omitting crucial info. Please fix the audio to make this podcast one better sound file that doesn’t skip sounds.

Solid reporting and unique perspective on world news each day. A trusted source, highly recommended

The first thing I listen to upon waking to get going in the morning. Short and succinct and informative.

The content is excellent and succinct. Unfortunately, the new reader makes it a painful experience. The delivery is so slow that I fall asleep before a sentence is complete. The quality of voice seems to be poor, but this could be a change in recording equipment. This used to be my favorite podcast. Now, I’m considering cancelation in favor of some of a podcast with both good content and good delivery. The former reader was far superior to this new one.

The new news reader slurs her words together. It is very difficult for Non-native British English speakers to follow along. Please slow down. Thank you
