Historic Thaw in US-Cuba Relations

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

As President Obama hails a 'new chapter' in its relations with Cuba, we ask if this is this going to represent an economic rescue for the Communist-run island republic? We also get reaction on the shock cancellation of Sony's release of a big comedy film after threats and hacking apparently coming from North Korea. Plus, why sales of macadamia nuts are up twenty-fold. We are joined by two guests on opposite sides of the Pacific - David Kuo of the Motley Fool in Singapore and Peter Morici, an economist at the University of Maryland, in Washington.
