It’s a spin-off! NPR is launching The Indicator from Planet Money, a new podcast that brings insight and context to the worlds of business and economics. The Indicator takes the signature Planet Money storytelling approach and delivers it faster, in shorter podcasts, more frequently. Each episode will tell a larger story about our world or break down a big idea, using Planet Money’s hallmark style of witty explanatory journalism. The new show will publish three times a week and will be hosted by Planet Money’s Stacey Vanek Smith and Cardiff Garcia, who comes to NPR from the Financial Times.
“We are very excited to expand upon the tremendous success of NPR’s Planet Money,” said Neal Carruth, NPR’s General Manager of Podcasts. “Listeners will get the same high-quality reporting that they have come to expect from Planet Money — only more frequently and in short, sharply focused episodes tailored for the era of smart speakers.”
