We’ve got a two-parter episode for you this week. In our first segment we’re talking about dogs in residence at hotels. Hotels editor Christina Jelski brings on Joel Morales of Castlerock Asset Management, which manages the Bobby Hotel in Nashville, and Rauni Kew of the Inn by the Sea in Maine to talk about some of the logistics of training and managing a "lobby dog"; how it benefits the guests and the hotel; and the rescue, shelter, training and adoption partnerships that all feed into this pretty awesome trend. This segment was recorded March 8 and has been edited for length and clarity. In our second segment: Last week we had antitrust lawyer Scott Wagner and aviation editor Robert Silk on to talk about the Spirit-JetBlue merger, and within three days of recording both airlines announced the agreement was ending. So we brought them back for a talk about what may have happened -- and how executives or boards might feel when a deal goes kaput. This segment was recorded March 5, and has been edited for length and clarity.
