Episode notes

In many countries in the world, including roanda and gona, there are regulations that require every plane to have a transponder. This means it's harder for any drone to ensure that the air space is clear. And so absurdly, this company, zipline, is doing a couple of pilot projects in the us. They're working on censors to detect, you know, any plane that might be in the sky. But so far, these drones are small and light,. The problem is, if you try and use radar or cameras, it just winds up being too big and heavy to go on these little, light drones.

In this episode, Jacob Goldstein, the longtime host of NPR’s Planet Money, talks about his new podcast about technology and business called What’s Your Problem? with Jacob Goldstein. Goldstein spent more than a decade as co-host of Planet Money reporting stories that make economic journalism approachable. In his new weekly show, What’s Your Problem?, Goldstein’s curiosity leads him into conversations with top global entrepreneurs and engineers about the cutting-edge problems they’re trying to solve. Each episode focuses on a new company and innovator and their challenges, from teaching computers to understand humans better to running a niche business where access to consumers hinges on tech company algorithms.
