Every once in a while, (and sometimes each day) I listen to a great podcast, enjoy an article, or see a good video that I want to share with you.
I like to think of them as my e-links.

To know a bit more when we watch the Paris Olympics, we can listen to the BBC’s Business Daily. In a week of podcasts, they started with Paris’s metro expansion. Next, looking at uniforms and sneakers, we heard about the convergence of design and technology. Then, they took us to the new “sport”–breaking–and also a swimming “power couple.”
For the economics perspective, the Business Daily series occupied territory rarely entered on TV.
