PODCAST: Tuning with the push of a button

Puerto Rico's debt, fitness IPOs, and a self-tuning guitar

With another deadline on Monday for Puerto Rico to repay $60 million to bond holders, we take a look at the economic challenges for the commonwealth as tourism dips. Plus, we’ll talk about Wall Streets’ workout — two major fitness companies are planning IPOs.
