January, February, March. Uh, Ryan, what are you doing? Oh, hey, Bridget. Well, I got this giant calendar on the wall, so I can manage my time better this year. Oh, yeah? And I totally forgot about it, so now I'm trying to fast-forward to, uh-huh, uh-huh, April. Wait, what are those notes on the pages? Oh, those are questions from our listeners. Did you wrote them on my calendar? Well, you weren't exactly using it. Wow, there's a lot of them. Yep, do you want to hear them? Well, yeah. Hi, Millie and Misilian. Hi, Millie and Misilian. Hi, Millie and Misilian. Hi, my question is, my question is, or question is, what is the gold standard? Where do game shows get their prize money? Why does the price of gas go up and down? I heard my parents talk about tax returns, and I wonder what they are.
Those are some really tough, but great questions, and we're going to answer them in season 10 of Millie and Misilian. The podcast from Marketplace that answers the questions that kids and their families have about money. Every episode we go on an elaborate and captivating adventure to answer your big money questions. That's right. This season, we'll compete in a game show to win a million dollars. Welcome back to the incredible chase. We're back with our bickering best buds, Bridget and Ryan. Will they ever get it together? Mm-hmm, and we'll meet a talking car. Just trust me on this. You said you want to learn more about oil. Well, come and see. I'll show you. We'll finally get to the San Fran Finlitt podcom, the biggest gathering of financial literacy podcasters in the world. Okay, I'll send you money for the pizza. Cool. Let's split it three ways. I just sent my part. Don't forget to Venmo me for the concert tickets. Wait, who do I pay again? And celebrate the biggest holiday of the year. You know what I'm talking about. Taxes. The IRS called me up to say, hey, more boat, you did such a good job on your taxes.
We're going to send you some candy. All that and more coming up on the new season of Millie and Misilian from Marketplace. The show that helps dollars make more sense. Season 10 coming to all your favorite podcast apps on Tuesday, April 14th. And if you don't want to miss it, subscribe to our tipsheet newsletter at Marketplace.org slash Million.

Let me just circle April 14th on my calendar. Huh, weird. Past Ryan already circled April 14th three times in red. Probably because it's also the day before tax day. Already? Oh, well, that's a problem for future Ryan to worry about. Ryan. What? I'll deal with it when the new season drops.
