We’ve been running an occasional podcast series with some of the voices we’re listening to this year as part of the CGAP/DFID Branchless Banking in 2020 scenarios work.

You can participate directly through this blog or posting discussions through our Mobile Banking and Microfinance LinkedIn Group. –Jim
