The Reuters Digital Vision Program is a one-year fellowship at Stanford University for mid-career tech professionals. I'm blogging my experiences there: the amazing guest speakers, the interesting classes and discussion groups with other fellows, and thoughts on how technology can help reduce the gulf between the global rich and poor.

NPR "Forum" on Microcredit (2/4/2005) with Sam Daley-Harris

One of the cool things about being associated with a topic
like microcredit is the way lots of people send you pointers to
articles in the popular press. So while the RDVP fellows were at
Asilomar, there was a program on NPR by Sam Daley-Harris of the Microcredit Summit. The
51 minute program in Real Media format (See Friday, Feb. 4th at 9:00 AM) is a great introduction to the area of microcredit, with a focus on some of the organizations that support microcredit, especially in the US, and a view of the history and economics of microcredit, as well as a balanced view of some of the criticisms leveled by skeptics.
