About this episode
Consumer credit rose $17.9 billion in April — $6 billion more than projected, the Fed says. Americans may be anxious about tariffs, but low unemployment means a lot of us still have the cash to pay a credit card bill or car payment at the end of the month. But a few debt warning signs are flaring. Also in this episode: Warner Bros. announces a corporate split, the cycling industry shifts gears and we visit a town where the majority of businesses are inside homes.
