PODCAST: Walmart and women

Transportation funding runs out of gas, women-owned businesses at Walmart, and a phone app as art.

With Congress back from recess, one piece of legislation that needs to be hammered out soon involves funding for transportation. With a dwindling Highway Trust Fund, delays to construction projects could be seen as soon as August. Plus, Walmart will be using a new logo to denote products from women-owned companies. But will special labels combat or perpetuate stereotypes? Also, New York’s Museum of Modern Art just released Bjork’s Biophilia app for $13. It’s part of a larger initiative by the museum, treating technology as art.
