  Did you know it's been a full 20 years that The Economist has been doing podcasts?

• 00:30

  We speak to the editors who were around at the beginning

• 00:32

  and how uncertain it was that we'd keep doing it at all.

• 00:51

  First up though.

• 00:59

  For 40 years, The Economist has published an annual rundown

• 01:03

  of what our journalists think will happen in the coming year.

• 01:06

  It used to be called The World In.

• 01:08

  These days we call it The World Ahead.

• 01:12

  Starting today and over the next week, our correspondents will once again give us their expert view

• 01:17

  on what might dominate the headlines in the year ahead.

• 01:20

  From politics and geopolitics to wars and tech.

• 01:26

  But before we get to all that, let's look back to last year.

• 01:29

  Tom Standage edits The World Ahead and is a deputy editor at The Economist, and he's with me now.

• 01:35

  Happy New Year and hello Tom.

• 01:37

  Hello, good to be here.
