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

The podcast examines the recently released Jeffrey Epstein documents, revealing a broad network of powerful individuals and potential criminal activity. Analysis of three million documents, focused on emails between 2008 and 2019, shows frequent contact with figures like Catherine Rumler and Arianne de Rothschild. A language model identified 1,500 email threads as disturbing, though most were not with high-profile individuals. The podcast further discusses the debate around banning social media for under-16s, exploring Australia's ban and its circumvention by teens. While popular, such bans may isolate vulnerable children and shift cyberbullying to other platforms. Finally, the podcast introduces "blouge" wine, a blend of red and white grapes, as a versatile and climate-resilient option, noting its growing popularity and marketing strategies.
