Hey, Planet Money listeners, it's annual survey time at NPR.

Filling out this survey will help us understand you are listeners,

so we can make a better show.

We do actually sit down and read and analyze all the responses.

We especially want to hear from people who are new to Planet Money.

The survey is short and it's anonymous.

It's at npr.org slash podcast survey.

All one word, that's npr.org slash podcast survey.

Thank you so very much and on to the show.

This is Planet Money from NPR.

There was this recent real poll that we have become like a little obsessed with over here.

It was conducted by the Harris polling company along with ad age,

We called somebody up to talk about this.

Adrian Pascarelli, I'm a senior reporter at ad age.

Basically ad age ran a popularity contest, a one through nine ranking of insurance company mascots.

Who's number nine?

It was Jamie from Progressive.

I think that's his whole thing.

Yes, I was the first of meeting.
