The Beat is Back. Modeled after our daily email newsletter, The Beat Podcast breaks down the week's biggest D.C. tech, business and startup stories from the people who know it best.
On Episode 10 of the DC Inno Beat, we talk about LivingSocial’s latest big cuts, how D.C. survived without the Metro, some great new events happening in D.C. and the latest round of Tech Madness.
Since we're just getting started on our first podcast series, we want to hear what you think of the show. So, give us a shout.
