Fault lines: Venezuela’s paltry earthquake response
The IntelligenceGovernment 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.

- 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
