Financial Post adds business news podcast

Canadian newspaper National Post launched Wednesday a podcast called “Down to Business,” which tackles topics in Canadian business.

The 20-minute podcast will be released once a week on Wednesdays. It features interviews with sources who have the knowledge and insight to take listeners beyond the headlines.

“‘Down to Business ‘engages listeners in a smart, in-depth conversation that answers the critical question ‘Why does this matter?’” said Nicole MacAdam, executive producer of the Financial Post, the National Post’s business site, in a statement

Financial Post reporter Emily Jackson will host the podcast. She covers the telecom industry for the paper. On Fridays, she hosts National Post Radio on Canada Talks.

The first guest is tech entrepreneur Michele Romanow.
