04/19/2018: Puerto Rico is still recovering

Sometimes you’ve got a plan for reporting out a story, then circumstances change your mind. That’s what happened to Marketplace Weekend host Lizzie O’Leary, who’s in Puerto Rico this week. She was in the middle of reporting an update on how the island is recovering after last year’s hurricanes, then the lights went out … everywhere. We got Lizzie on the phone today to talk about how things are going. But first, the latest on the AT&T-Time Warner trial — and reminder of what’s at stake. Plus: the business of a royal wedding.
