Consider This from NPR - Love Is In The Air—And On The Shelves

Sales of romance novels were up in 2022, with a surge of about 52 percent for sales of print copies, according to Publishers Weekly. That's despite an overall dip in book sales last year.
Still, there's a longstanding social stigma against romance novels, as they're often written off as frivolous, or even shameful.
NPR's Juana Summers visits a group of readers who are loud and proud about their love for the genre.
In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.

CoinDesk Podcast Network - BREAKDOWN: Slightly Hot Inflation Print Probably Won’t Change the Fed’s Perspective

Year-over-year CPI came in at 6.4% compared to an expected 6.2%.

On today’s episode, NLW updates on the Paxos situation. Paxos made a statement that it is willing to fight the Securities and Exchange Commission in court over whether BUSD is a security. The main part of the episode is focused on January’s inflation data, which came in slightly higher than expected. NLW argues it’s not enough for the Federal Reserve to consider shifting course.
