28 分钟I'm Lakshmi Singh.
Public radio reminds us of our shared humanity even at our darkest hours.
Like with a story of an artist couple who make beautiful spaces for communities to grieve.
We found that people will usually stop by and just feel a little bit.
More open and willing to talk and share.
Help us make room for light in the dark.
Give before the end of the year@donate.NPR.org hey, it's Erika Barris.
A quick word before the show to talk about this year and all the different kinds of stories you heard on Planet Money.
This year.
We brought you stories about inflation, disinflation, stagflation, skin inflation, dynamic pricing, what is Temu, banking apps, rum taxes, the main potato war of 1976.
So many stories about so many different things, semiconductors.
And the one thing they all have in common, AI trade fraud, is we work really hard on each of them, international shipping so that they make you smarter.
And they're fun to listen to, Tiny soda cans, zombie mortgages, why Flying sucks, and another edition of Planet Money summer school.
So this is the time of year when we say, hey, if that stuff was useful to you, if you made us a part of your day in the car, on the train while you were doing dishes, chip in and help keep us going, your support matters so much that NPR basically invented an entire new product that we will give you to incentivize your donation.
