Workers have been feeling the sting of inflation.

the S&P 500 biggest post-election day spike ever,

follow all the big changes and what they mean for you.

Make America affordable again.

Listen to The Indicator, the Daily Economics podcast from NPR.

This is fresh air.

I'm Terry Gross.

It's becoming a fresh air tradition that for Christmas, we ask someone who's deep into music and whose work we love to choose some of their favorite Christmas recordings.

We started this two years ago with Questlove.

Yesterday we featured John Batiste at the piano, singing and playing some Christmas songs.

Today, we featured David Byrne and his Christmas playlist, which we recorded last Christmas.

Byrne is, of course, a founder and the frontman of Talking Heads, which was a seminal New Wave band in the

70s and 80s, although calling the band New Wave and punk doesn't describe how unique they were

or how they expanded out from the stripped-down music they began playing.

Byrne also founded the music label, Luwaka Bop, which releases music of different genres from

the U.S. and around the world.

The restored version of the Talking Heads' 1984 concert film Stop Making Sense was released last year.

It's widely considered one of the best concert films.

Byrne also created the Broadway shows, American Utopia, and Here Lies Love.

David Byrne, welcome back to fresh air. Happy holidays. So great to have you back.
