Lucas and Luna anchor every episode of Inflation Explained with Fexingo in the latest CPI release, producer price index, and personal consumption expenditures data, pulling real-time figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and Federal Reserve Economic Data. They dissect how a tenth-of-a-point move in core inflation ripples through grocery bills, rent renewals, and wage negotiations. Lucas charts the historical arc of price shocks, from the 1970s oil embargo to today's shelter-cost stickiness, while Luna presses on the human impact: what a 3.4% annual inflation rate means for a household earning the median US income, for a retiree on a fixed annuity, for a small business owner adjusting menu prices. Each episode tackles a single inflation driver—used-car indexes, energy futures, medical care services—with clear definitions of terms like 'trimmed mean' and 'supercore services.' The conversation stays grounded in named cases: how Walmart's pricing power affects the PCE, how rent-stabilization policies alter CPI weights, how the Cleveland Fed's inflation nowcast differs from the official print. Lucas and Luna never simplify for drama; they treat the listener as someone who reads the earnings call transcripts and the Fed minutes but wants a sharper lens on the numbers. The show is for anyone who needs to understand inflation not as a headline but as a force that reshapes budgets, investment portfolios, and business models. What happens when the disinflation narrative stalls? How do you separate sticky inflation from base effects?
