It does work offline. I don't remember the exact steps on how to do it.

Basically, you can get an rss feed with credentials imported into podcast app of your choice and just download the episode before going offline.

I prefer this approach since 1) It works offline 2) I can use podcast player of my choice with much better UX than the economist app

Ahh, you are saying the Economists app just uses RSS behind the scenes? Why didn't I think of that!?!

This actually solves real problems for me as I have to often drive through areas where I have no coverage, and I listen to the economist (much to the chagrin of my wife who is riding with me).

Thanks!

edit: Found the info, its actually on the Economists site (looks like you have to login):

Welcome!

Yup. That’s the link. You can just log in there if you have subscription and grab the rss url

It will look like

https://www.economist.com/audio-edition-podcast/<auth_token>...

You can paste that into a podcast app of your choice. I use pocket casts on iOS which works with the above url for sure
