Podcast [30 min. 49 sec.] NPR's Fresh Air; The New Price Point? 'Free':

"Journalist Chris Anderson believes that businesses can profit by giving their material away on the Internet. His new book Free: The Future of a Radical Price explains how "free" can become a marketing technique, helping businesses gain credibility in an economy that increasingly values reputation.
