Should Influencers Unionize?

On today’s show, Rachelle is joined by Wailin Wong, Darian Woods
and Adrian Ma, the hosts of NPR’s daily economics podcast The
Indicator from Planet Money. They discuss The Indicator’s
recent five-part series on the $15 billion influencer
industry that delves into where all that money is going—and
where it’s not. They dive deep into the rise of the industry and
how it emerged out of the economic precarity of the 2008 recession.
They also talk through the astonishing fact that according to some
surveys, almost 1 out of every 4 Gen Z-er wants to be an
influencer. This podcast is produced by Se’era Spragley Ricks,
Daisy Rosario and Rachelle Hampton. Make an impact this Asian
