Our friends at Radio Times are looking at innovation this week. First up: tech in Philly. And these folks know all about it:

Our guests are JOSH KOPELMAN, who runs First Round Capital, a seed-stage venture fund; BOB MOUL, CEO of Artisan Mobile, which last month changed its name from appRenaissance, and President of Philly Startup Leaders; ROSEANN ROSENTHAL, CEO and member of the Board of Directors of Ben Franklin Technology Partners/Southeastern Pennsylvania; and CHRIS WINK of Technically Philly.

Download the audio and listen at your leisure. It's a multifaceted glimpse of what's going right in Philly — and what's holding us back.
