(APOLOGIES! Trying to work too quickly only results in mistakes. Deep breath.)
Podcasts from international and public radio sources that I've found
particularly interesting and edifying as I'm plodding along in my regular
exercise regimen.
In addition to via the websites referenced, these podcasts generally are made
available through several other popular internet sources such as iTunes and
TuneIn.

REAR VISION - ABC Radio National
The Cult of Investment: the Fabulous Growth of the Wealth Management Industry.
In a recent report, the Boston Consulting Group stated that in 2013 global
private financial wealth grew by 14.6 percent to reach 152 trillion dollars.
The industry that preserves, invests and sometimes loses that wealth by using
exotic and complex investments is one of the largest sectors in financial
services. Wealth management has been transformed from private banking for the
super-rich to a cult of investment. No longer just a shake of the hand, a
gentleman's agreement in a wood paneled office, but managed from what the
industry calls a 'platform'. (29')

LATE NIGHT LIVE - ABC Radio National
The Economy Explained - Joseph Stiglitz; Ann Moyal, A Memoir of Someone Most
Americans Have Never Heard Of.
The distinguished American economist Joseph Stiglitz won a Nobel prize for
describing the macroeconomic consequences of the fact that monetary
transactions are not undertaken with perfect information. But less discussed is
the way his orientation as a thinker was shaped by a childhood spent in Gary,
Indiana, an industrial town named after the chairman of U.S. Steel. He spoke
to Phillip Adams at the Sydney Town Hall. A Woman of Influence is Ann
Moyal's second autobiography and spans the past twenty years of her life and
work as an eminent historian of Australian science and technology. Ann's early
career as research assistant to Lord Beaverbrook (Canadian media mogul, best
friend and confidante of Winston Churchill) and her years in academe back in
Australia were exciting and stimulating and rather than slowing down in her
older age, she has found it to be full of passion, intensity and involvement,
founding the Independent Scholars' Association of Australia, and writing m
any books. (55')
