PODCAST: Rethinking flood protection

Netflix in China, consumer sentiment, and flood protection.

First up, Netflix is in talks with a Chinese media company about a potential partnership in China. Plus, how much are your feelings worth? We look at how much businesses pay for detailed information regarding consumer sentiment. Plus, AquaFence is essentially a removable, reusable temporary wall that hooks into the ground and keeps out water. Since Superstorm Sandy, the number of AquaFences in Manhattan and Brooklyn has gone from zero to 40. Several Boston companies are now investing in the system too. They say it’s the answer to East Coast flooding problems that are becoming more frequent because of climate change.
