PODCAST: The solution is border collies

We look at what happened with German bonds; calm today after a wild ride last week. Plus, we examine the effect Fox’s hit show “Empire” has had on the TV advertising game by cutting the amount of commercial time it sets aside per episode. And government contractors come in all shapes, as evidenced by a new effort from the National Park Service to hire border collies to chase geese off the National Mall.
