Everybody has a hot take on the economy.

And whether you're curious about inflation, trade wars, or the markets, what you need is reporting you can trust.

Hi, I'm Kai Risdahl, the host of Marketplace.

Our award-winning reporters talk to everybody from CEOs to farmers to help you understand how the economy takes shape in the real world.

You'll be smarter every time you listen.

And these days, that's priceless.

Listen to Marketplace on your favorite podcast app.

From WIRED, this is The Big Interview, where we'll get to know the people beyond the headlines in conversations that explore the intersection of technology, power, and culture.

I'm Katie Drummond, WIRED's Global Editorial Director.

You may have seen our next guest, Amelia de Moldenburg, on the red carpet at the Oscars in March.

That clip is from the Academy Awards and Amelia's creative studio, Dimms Inc.

It was her third time on the Oscars red carpet.

And that star turn comes on top of her wildly successful interview series that I first saw, admittedly, as very short clips on TikTok, Chicken Shop Date.

If you haven't seen them yet, I don't know why, but you're in for a treat.

Amelia sat down for dates with Conan O'Brien, Sabrina Carpenter, Andrew Garfield, the list goes on, and each episode takes place in, yes, a chicken shop.

Amelia now has more than 3.3 million subscribers on YouTube.

And she joins me now.

Amelia, welcome to The Big Interview.

So I'm going to blame the producers.

Always blame the producers when you have the opportunity.
