Hey everyone, it's Adrian Mahir with Darian Woods and Waylon Wong.
Before we start,
we just wanted to say that this is the first day NPR has gone without federal funding in over 50 years.
To me, NPR has always been a jewel in America's crown,
like something that I'm proud to keep protecting even after the federal funding has stopped.
Here on The Indicator,
we're going to keep reporting and explaining the economy so all our listeners can better understand the forces making the world go round.
Thank you for listening and on with the show.
NPR.
This is The Indicator From Planet Money.
I'm Darian Woods.
And today I'm joined by financial podcaster, former co-host of Motley Fool Money, Ricky Mulvey.
Hey, Darian.
Good to see you.
Likewise.
And you are here to talk about gold.
Yeah, because gold has been a real economic mystery to me.
Think back to the pandemic,
where inflation is really shooting up and gold moved a little, but not a lot.
And that's what's kind of supposed to happen.
