Here are a couple of podcasts that I have found useful

• FT – News Briefing – each podcast is usually around 10 minutes in length – a good summary of the issues of the day
• IMF Podcasts – longer podcasts with leading economists discussing topics such as climate change, development economics and a recent one on monetary theory with Mervyn King.
• Project Syndicate – a hub for conversation on the world’s most pressing issues. Elmira Bayrasli sits down with leading economists, policymakers, Nobel laureates, academics.
• BBC Radio 4 – Today Programme – daily summary of business and economics and longer documentary type podcasts.
