This week, we're sharing some of our favorite Indicator episodes from 2022! Today, we hear one of Wailin's favorite episodes. It originally came out in September.
Roll out the red carpet: 2022's hottest new words are here. Merriam-Webster added 370 words to the dictionary in September, and we were delighted to find some of our favorite Econ 101 terms on the list.
Today, we hop on the conveyor belt that carries neologisms to the big book.
Read Greg's debut of the term "skimpflation" here.
