0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Intelligence on Economist Radio. I'm your host, Jason Palmer. |
0:09.0 | Every weekday we provide a fresh perspective on the events shaping your world. |
0:14.5 | The BBC has been quick to change its schedules, responding to the needs of a pandemic stricken |
0:22.5 | Britain. That has hushed its many critics for now, but the world's biggest broadcaster |
