The Intelligence from The Economist: Introducing The Weekend Intelligence

Are you ready for the weekend?

Each Saturday, we're bringing you a new podcast exclusively for

Economist subscribers.

It's called The Weeknd Intelligence,

and it's going to be our home for storytelling.

Are you responsible for the sins of your forefathers?

Can you inherit guilt?

At what point do you can sign this history to the past

and just move on?

What's the point of traveling through space

just to get to a place that is totally inhospitable to us?

It's a chance to meet Economist correspondents from around the globe

and hear the stories that they're passionate about.

I need to take a step back here

because there's something I've been grappling with

whether to bring up in this podcast.

I certainly would have found it helpful to hear

from people who are actually in the middle of it.

One single episode every Saturday

The Weeknd Intelligence, your new weekend habit.

The forest bed is absolutely covered in

all sorts of grasses and shrubs

and I've also got ants running up and down my legs

and leg sounds is just on my left.

You can see it just poking out of the riverbank

and above it is a large blue and yellow Ukrainian flag.
