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.

BS Ads

Why do paying subscribers need to sit through long ads? Why are we paying this is ridiculous, I have not listened to the intelligence or weekend for 2 years because of this, came back and same BS ads for paying customers. Abuse us when it’s free not when we are giving you money!

Clearly Biased Reporting

excitedmember3/8/2026

I used to be a regular subscriber of the economist and read the publications in print regularly. I respected what I thought was a news platform that focused on facts and science based decision making. This podcast is nothing like that, it’s focused on attacking America and the decisions it makes almost every episode. facts be damned! The bias is clear and for someone that just wants a quick objective view of the world events daily, this is failing. Especially the episode where you called De Niro’s character from Taxi Driver an incel? What is even the point of that?

Please choose your advertisers more wisely

I listen to The Intelligence regularly and enjoy the reporting and factual journalism. What I do not enjoy is hearing political advertising especially pro Trump propaganda that is most definitely NOT factual.

Thank you

Thank you for keeping me informed, entertained, and even occasionally delighted Today’s piece on the penny by Ann Wroe gave me the delight of hearing one of her incredibly well crafted stories of a life, without the remorse knowing that that particular person’s story has ended. What a lovely way to start a New Year.
