  • Npr.

  • This is the Indicator from Planet Money.

  • I'm Waylon Wong here with married childs from Planet Money.

  • Hi.

  • Hello.

  • And Adrian Ma.

  • Hey, there.

  • So we are here for our weekly Indicators of the Week segment.

  • And before we get going,

  • we wanted to welcome Adrienne back because you have been away from the show for the past few weeks.

  • And, Adrienne, the floor is yours if you want to say hello and talk about why.

  • Yeah, if you listen to npr, you might already know this, but I recently lost somebody that I loved.

  • Her name was Kia Duggans.

  • She was an incredible person.

  • You should actually look her up if you get a chance.

  • Kia was my girlfriend.

  • And unfortunately,

  • she was also one of the 67 people who died in that American Airlines plane crash in January.

  • Needless to say, I have been going through it lately.

  • The past several weeks have been incredibly tough.
