About this episode
The episode discusses summer travel trends, the Federal Reserve's leadership, and a Maine sea urchin processing firm's longevity.
As people look to plan their summer vacations, they're being price-conscious. While 60% of Americans plan on traveling, more people will drive instead of flying, and more are opting for shorter trips. Plus, with the end of the Justice Department's investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, successor Kevin Warsh looks poised for a successful confirmation. And later, we head to Maine to hear how a Maine sea urchin processing firm has survived for four decades.
