Major League Baseball announced this week that the start of its regular season will be canceled because of an ongoing labor dispute between owners and the players' union. This week’s episode of the Business Brief podcast goes beyond the owners and players to look at the effects of the lockout on stadium workers and local businesses in Kansas City and St. Louis.
Plus, the podcast checks in on Columbia Startup Weekend. The startup pitch event, which over the last decade has given rise to multiple now-thriving companies, returned last week after a pandemic hiatus.
