PODCAST: Talking statues

OPEC cuts oil prices, Google vs. Amazon, and talking statues.

The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) continues to cut the price of oil in part because there’s so much of it being produced in the Middle East and North Africa, and also here in North America. More on that. And Google’s taken another step today in its quest to take over world commerce. The search engine giant is expanding its Google Express delivery service this week, and introducing a new fee. And as we discover, it’s all about competing with Amazon. Plus, they are a city’s permanent residents, yet many of them are forgotten; often ignored. We’re talking about statues. But there’s a British non-profit that says statues have stories to tell, and they’re working to give these figures…a voice.
