What's this?

12:06Digital Audio

From iPods to podcasts, the internet has transformed how we listen to music and radio programming. But while our options have rapidly expanded, so too has confusion about what's legal and what's worth the price tag. Tech Tuesday takes on digital audio.

Guests

Rob Pegoraro, Consumer Technology Columnist, Washington Post

Phil Leigh, Founder, Inside Digital Media, Inc.

13:06The Decline of Free Trade?

13:32Hijacking The Global Economy

We take a look at how this market is changing lives and transforming the ways in which governments do business.
