Fault lines: Venezuela’s paltry earthquake response

Fault lines: Venezuela’s paltry earthquake response

Government help was thin on the ground just after the country’s worst quakes in a century. The America-backed regime is thus on literal and figurative shaky ground. A food-delivery robot trial in England represents the future of the service. And why Harlan Coben’s proliferating thrillers are cheesy but gripping.


Guests and host:

  • Kinley Salmon, Latin America correspondent
  • Alex Hern, AI writer
  • Catherine Nixey, culture correspondent
  • Jason Palmer, co-host of “The Intelligence”


Topics covered:

  • Venezuela earthquakes, disaster response
  • delivery robots
  • Harlan Coben
