Episode notes

This chapter delves into how inflation is driving up prices in big wireless companies, impacting consumers, and also sheds light on the challenges faced by individuals in finding affordable housing, as illustrated by the tale of the smallest apartment in New York City.

Our correspondents were the first media to see the American-built JLOTS pier, intended for aid deliveries into Gaza. Things have not at all gone to plan.

And a trip to see the Savannah Bananas, a goofy exhibition-baseball team that has serious lessons for the major leagues (22:57).
