The Intelligence

After a whirlwind of a week filled with big news stories, I wanted to recommend one of my favourite news podcasts that go really in-depth on topics from all around the world. The Economist uses their network of correspondants from all over the world to deliver interesting insights and perspectives. Episodes are released every weekday so keep an eye out for todays. I also recently listened to the 'Playing his Trump card: Bolsonaro and the election' which was fascinating.

Fed Up

Another podcast about crazy scams... from Wondery. This time it is about a diet called the F-Factor which features a story about wealth, wellness, and influence. The podcast follows an investigative journalist who realises that this diet is in fact giving people terrible side effects, ultimately the story blows up and involves lawsuits, feuds, and the national media. Binge-worthy.

Fed Up by Wondery described as: When Emily Gellis hears rumors of people suffering horrible side effects from a trendy diet she springs into action. Armed with over a hundred thousand Instagram followers, Emily launches a social media crusade to expose F-Factor and its founder, Tanya Zuckerbrot. It’s the start of a feud that will attract trolls, lawyers, and, eventually, national media all because of fiber. From Wondery, this is a story about wealth, wellness, and influence narrated by Casey Wilson.. Podcast links by Plink.

Another Russia

Boris Nemtsov was a critic of Putin, the Kremlin, and war in Ukraine. Then, he was assasinated. His daughter, journalist Zhanna Nemtsova, and co-host Ben Rhodes tell his story to find out what happened to an entire country – and what happens next. Is another Russia possible? (Thanks Max for the recommendation).
