Episode notes

CNN.com's John Sutter looks at a new type of zip line that uses drones to deliver packages. The drone is controlled by remote control, and flies automatically from the launch site out to the delivery site. But does there have to be air traffic control? And do they generally have to do anything? Or do the drones take care of themselves? We'll hear more about this in next week's episode.

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.
