In October, editor-in-chief Andrzej Stec especially recommends to listeners of the weekend podcast entitled: ATM – two topics: about Amazon replacing 600,000 employees with machines and about the realities of a scientific career.
The podcast is created in cooperation with Bankier.pl and the Polish Bank Association. In approximately 15 minutes, the Polish Bank Association will present the most important events in economic life in the country and around the world last week, and the editor-in-chief of Bankier.pl, Andrzej Stec, will present the two most frequently read publications from the portal. This week's topics are:

The podcast is distributed via the ZBP website to approximately 50 local radio stations. We also post it on the Bankier.pl website. Enjoy listening!
