Here on the indicator and on our sister show Planet Money, we are like one big podcast

family.

And like big families, sometimes, especially during the holidays, we have disagreements.

Now, people will tell us, don't air your dirty laundry.

Nobody wants to know what your weird drama.

But today, we are doing the opposite.

We are competing head to head with our colleagues over at Planet Money to figure out the indicator

of all indicators for 2022.

The thing that when we look back at the economy years from now, we'll say, that's what

this year was all about.

So it is time for another family boom.

So here are the rules.

We invited two hosts from Planet Money to the show and each of us prepared something for

an indicator of the year.

We will each make our case in 60 seconds or less and in the end, you, the listener, will

vote on who had the indicator of 2022.

Coming up on the show, we've got Sarah Gonzalez and interest rates.

The best indicator of all of the indicators, obviously.

Adrian Monde, the supply chain.

What's up?

I've been drinking coffee and doing push-ups and I'm ready.
