Today on Michael Schmidtthe show, we have two episodes from our daily podcast, The Indicator, about things we spend a lot of time thinking about this time of year: food and drink.

First up, we explore how changes in economic conditions led to one of the U.K.'s iconic (and affordable) staple foods becoming a luxury.

Then, the story of one Indigenous woman whose small business went head-to-head with Coca-Cola over a trademark dispute.

These episodes were hosted by Adrian Ma, Paddy Hirsch, Darian Woods, and Wailin Wong. They were produced by Corey Bridges and Brittany Cronin with help from Robin Lavees and engineering by Cena Loffredo. Melia Agudelo translated. They were fact-checked by Sierra Juarez and edited by Kate Concannon.
