New York Biz Journal/Upstart Biz Journal start new podcast

The New York Business Journal and the Upstart Business Journal have started a regular podcast called Wantonomics about the on-demand economy.

The podcast will talk with CEOs, venture capitalists, and experts. Each podcast, which will air each Monday, will be about 30 minutes long and accessible on SoundCloud and eventually on the iTunes store.

Both publications are operated by Charlotte-based American City Business Journals.

“While the initial subjects for the podcast are based in the NYC area, we plan to expand it out to include others driving innovation in the on-demand scene from around the country,” said editor J. Jennings Moss in an email to Talking Biz News. “Leading the effort here is myself and Anthony Noto, who covers venture capital and the startup ecosystem in NY.”

The mission for the podcast is to have an engaging conversation with upstarts who have set out to solve consumer and business-to-business needs with as much scale as they possibly can, said Moss.

“We plan to get to questions about how they market their products, how they treat the people who work for them, how they expand, how they work with backers, and much more,” added Moss.
