The Supply Chain Economy with Fexingo: Logistics, Shipping, and Goods Movement

Every day, Lucas and Luna examine the real-time machinery of global goods movement — from container ship schedules and port backlogs to trucking rates and last-mile delivery bottlenecks. Grounded in publicly-available data on shipping spot prices, warehouse vacancy rates, and logistics employment reports, each episode dissects a specific thread: how Red Sea diversions reroute European inventories, why Memphis handles more air cargo than any other airport, or what falling Baltic Dry Index readings signal for manufacturers. Lucas brings a journalist's precision to freight indices and customs filings; Luna pushes for the operational reality — what a 12% drop in intermodal rail volumes means for a Midwest distributor, or how just-in-time inventory strategies are being rewritten after pandemic breakdowns. The show serves supply chain analysts, logistics professionals, procurement managers, and anyone who understands that the cost of moving a box from Shenzhen to Chicago determines what fills store shelves. Expect no buzzwords — only parsed data, named companies (Maersk, Union Pacific, XPO), and a clear-eyed view of how infrastructure, labor, and trade policy intersect. By the end of each episode, you'll know exactly which port is congested, which shipping route is under pressure, and what that means for the price of the goods you buy tomorrow.
