Synopsis
Dubai Eye's Tim Elliott and Richard Dean present the Funkonomics podcast, a light-hearted look at the week's big business stories. Funkonomics bridges the gap between two distant worlds: Tim's love of funk and Richard's passion for economics. It sounds weird, we know. But once you've heard IMF boss Christine Lagarde, mixed seamlessly with the breakbeats of James Brown, you'll be hooked.
