GlobalBiz: A New World of Wine: 11 Feb 2012 | Peter Day hears from far-apart places where the wine industry is changing the global balance of supply and demand. He visits China, a country with a fast growing, newly wealthy, consumer market rapidly developing a taste for imported wine, and a new domestic wine industry of its own. And halfway around the world in Argentina, and where wine has been a big domestic activity and business for many decades, he hears how a traditional wine industry is now changing shape and garnering a new global reputation.

GlobalBiz: The Road Ahead For Electrical Engines? 04 Feb 12 | Alexander Schey is just 26, and in the garage of a fairly ordinary house in west London where he, and a few other fellow London students, built a battery powered electric car. Then, to raise awareness of their new battery management system, they drove along 25-thousand kilometres of the Pan American Highway. But this was more than just an elaborate student escapade; as you can hear in Global Business, it has now become an interesting consultancy business.

GlobalBiz: Class Struggle: 21 Jan 12 | In nearly every country in the world, there's one sector that everyone seems to think is in crisis: education. America produces legions of Nobel laureates and has the best universities in the world - and yet faces an epidemic of failing state-run schools. India churns out vast numbers of engineers ready for the modern economy, and yet its business leaders yearn for the kind of creative thought that is taught in the Anglo-Saxon system. In the UK there are worries about discipline and standards, while at the same time welcoming thousands of foreigners anxious to get qualifications and training that are non-existent in their home counties. Peter Day asks why everyone thinks education is so bad and what schools and businesses are doing to try to improve it.

Customer Reviews
Clever, Insightful, Charming
BBC has long been known for its elegance in reporting style and content. This first in a potential series is outstanding & heartily recommended.
Superbly conducted and truly insightful
Peter Day finds the nuances of key financial issues and allows us to comprehend their relevance to our world. I very much look forward to the podcasts!
Top quality!
Peter Day travels the world to find the most interesting stories in the biz world. I am constantly surprised at the variety of businesses, topics and locations that Mr Day explores. I look forward to each new podcast. Only a few clunkers, like the recent show with failed fortune teller Niall Ferguson. However, those clunkers are rare.
