Check in the mail: our analysis of Epstein’s correspondence

Economist Podcasts

About

Our data journalists trawled through the vast email archive of Jeffrey Epstein, a dead sex offender. It is a revealing look at how and with whom he communicated. As interest grows in banning young people’s use of social media, we argue there are better ways to mitigate harms. And a blindfolded introduction to “blouge”, a new, more climate-resilient wine variety.


Guests and host:

    Rosie Blau, host of “The Intelligence”Dan Rosenheck, data editorTom Wainwright, media editorTom Standage, deputy editor of The Economist
