Episode description

The May oil contract collapses, sending U.S. crude prices on track for their worst day ever. We explore what it means for the broader energy market, and the millions of workers who depend on the sector for their livelihoods.

Plus, many retailers were already struggling BEFORE the COVID-19 crisis. But with even more bankruptcies on the horizon, what might the retail landscape look like after the lockdowns end? We’ll ask.

And, workers across the nation are protesting Coronavirus shutdowns as unemployment soars, including in New Hampshire – but is it too soon to get back to work? We’ll ask NH Governor Chris Sununu.
