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

About this episode

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.

  • Dan Rosenheck, data editor
  • Tom Wainwright, media editor
  • Tom Standage, deputy editor of The Economist


Topics covered: 

  • The Epstein files
