Consider This from NPR - With Inflation Soaring, The Fed Weighs Another Interest Rate Hike

Food, gas, rent — prices are climbing across the board. As inflation hit a 40-year high last month, millions of Americans are adjusting their spending and looking for ways to stretch their budgets.

The Federal Reserve is taking action, too. Policy makers are meeting this week to consider whether and how much to raise interest rates in an effort to curb inflation.

We talk to NPR's chief economics correspondent Scott Horsley and business correspondent David Gura.

CoinDesk Podcast Network - BREAKDOWN: The SEC’s Escalating Battle Against Crypto

An overview of the SEC’s insider-trading charges filed last week. 

This episode is sponsored by Nexo.io, Chainalysis and FTX US.

On today’s episode, NLW catches listeners up on the criminal charges filed against a former Coinbase employee and two of his associates last week around insider trading. The charges come from the Justice Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission, and it is the SEC’s charges that have the biggest implications. Nine of the tokens traded are being labeled by the SEC as securities, but the token issuers are not being given a chance to defend themselves. In a wildly unusual breach of protocol, a commissioner from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission accused the SEC of “regulation by enforcement” in a public press release response. NLW breaks down the escalation on the part of the SEC.
