This weekend, Lizzie O'Leary chats with Shannon Bond from FT and Joe Weisenthal from Business Insider about this week’s top stories. Can’t fit your new iPhone in your pocket? Marketplace’s Ariana Tobin explains the history of women’s pockets … which never have been big enough to carry phones. We speak to a financial aid advisor about ways to mitigate the growing student loan burden on students. Then, author and writer Jerry Stahl tells us a story about how to look out for yourself when you go from sleeping in a park, to sailing on a yacht with celebrities. More big companies are buying back their own stock from the stock market. Good news or bad news? And, does the tech industry have a women problem? CEO Kathryn Minshew explains her experience launching a company.
