Tariffs. They’ve been announced, unannounced, re-announced, raised and lowered. It’s an on-going saga with billions at stake! On today’s episode, we run full-on at the twisty, turny drama of life with broad-based tariffs and tackle perhaps our most asked question: Are we, regular U.S. shoppers, feeling the tariffs yet? When we’re at the grocery store or the coffee shop, are we paying more for things because of the tariffs? We now have the data to get a very clear answer to that question. Plus, we hear a cautionary tale from our dear colleague James Sneed, who ordered a collectible doll and wound up with a surprise tariff bill at his door.

  • Quick disclosure, the Public Broadcast Service, PBS, is a supporter of NPR.

  • And this episode does mention two cartoon characters from a PBS show.

  • Okay, here's our episode.

  • This is Planet Money from NPR.

  • Oh, hello there, listener Aya.

  • Didn't see you there.

  • Come on in.

  • Come out of the cold.

  • Come on.

  • Yeah.

  • It's about to throw another log on the old fire.

  • I'm Planet Money's Kenny Malone and I'm so glad you found your way into this very special place we've created for one particular topic.

  • Pull up that chair there a bit.

  • Do be careful.

  • Importing a new upholstered wooden chair is now 25% more as of the October 14th enactment of a new tariff.

  • And in that vein...

  • I hope Bourbon's okay.

  • Scotch has that 10% UK tariff.

  • How much is getting passed on to us who can say, but yeah.

  • This cozy little corner is a planet money space we've made to block out the rest of the economy and focus just on the ongoing saga that is simply tariffs.
