    Marketplace Weekend for Friday, May 27, 2016

    On this week’s episode, we go long and short on topics from the week’s news with Marketplace’s Jed Kim and The Atlantic’s Gillian White. We continue our conversation about wedding registries and gift giving with listeners (one of whom received a goat), and etiquette and advice columnist Carolyn Hax. The Kills take the Marketplace Quiz, and Lizzie takes the Metro on LA’s newly expanded Expo Line. Plus the story of a Freedom of Information Act request that prompted a $173,775 charge from the government and a lawsuit from Quartz reporter David Yanofsky.
