PODCAST: Tell a story about your product

A strong dollar, an eBook store, and a growing podcast network.

Airing on Thursday, April 9th, 2015: The people who control interest rates in America look at prices, they look at jobs. But we now know the Federal Reserve is also looking warily at the high U.S. dollar. We consult economist Diane Swonk to understand this key wrinkle in the economy here in the spring of 2015. Plus, a company called Oyster – with agreements from all five major publishers – has opened an eBook store. We look at whether it can compete with the Amazon’s standing in the industry. Finally, digital audio downloads can enlighten and entertain. They can also sell things to you. Now, there’s a growing sector of podcasting for companies. We learn more about how experts can build a podcast around a product.
