Now time to thank our partner for this episode The Economist.

Let's be honest, between endless news updates, social media hot takes and a 24-7 information cycle,

it's hard to know what to focus on or who to trust.

But for over 180 years, the economists' high-quality journalism has helped readers cut through the noise and makes sense of the world's most important stories.

One recent example was their reporting in Lincolnshire.

It explored whether the regions become one of the most conservative places in Britain and how local issues have shaped Lincolnshire's

deep-rooted right-wing politics. It's the kind of thoughtful reporting that not only informs

but also empowers. You come away feeling smarter, more confident and better equipped to engage

with complex global issues.

J.D. has proven himself more dangerous and farther to the right of Donald Trump.

J.D. Vance. He's a man some people treat as a joke, but

we think he needs to be taken

seriously. To listen to

Beyond Trump, J.D. Vance,
