Nick Fountain produces and reports for Planet Money. Since he joined the team in 2015, he's reported stories on pears, black pepper, ice cream, chicken and hot dogs (twice). Come to think of it, he reports on food a whole lot. But he's also lost money trying to sell Christmas trees out of his pickup truck, driven the world's longest yard sale, uncovered the secretive group that controls international mail and told the story of a crazy patent scheme that involved an acting Attorney General.

Sarah Gonzalez is a host and reporter with Planet Money, NPR's award-winning podcast that finds creative, entertaining ways to make sense of the big, complicated forces that move our economy. She joined the team in April 2018.

Alexi Horowitz-Ghazi is a host and reporter for Planet Money, telling stories that creatively explore and explain the workings of the global economy.

And he's always on the lookout for economic principles at work in unexpected places, like the tactics comedians use to protect their intellectual property (a.k.a. jokes).
