The Canadian arm of professional services firm Pricewaterhouse Coopers today announced a series of business podcasts which explores “key issues” affecting businesses during an economic downturn.

The podcast series, “Strategy Talks,” shares strategies companies can use to address the problems facing companies today. The episodes will feature interviews with PwC “thought leaders” about the recession, and offer insight and practical advice on how companies can weather the troubled economic climate.

The premiere podcast episode, titled “Surviving the Economic Crisis: PwC’s Perspective,” features a discussion with an executive in PwC’s Restructuring and Distress Strategy Group and the Credit Crisis Task Force at PwC, offering what the company calls “real-world coping strategies for businesses in this economic downturn.”

A second episode (already available online) covers the topic of “Restructuring in a Down Economy”, with an official from the PwC Corporate Advisory & Restructuring group, with a discussion of some of the key differences between restructuring a company in good times, and in bad.
