The Economist launches podcasts

Ed Dorell of New Media Age writes that The Economist is launching a series of podcasts about top business cities.

Dorell wrote, “The downloads are aimed at international business travelers and aim to offer candid insider advice on 20 cities from Beijing to Washington DC.
