Hyperfixed

Hyperfixed is the show context that routes Jed Kronfeld’s listener question into There’s no business like dough business. The episode identifies Alex Goldman as its host and says Planet Money receives the Wetzel’s Pretzels question through Hyperfixed.

Its role in the wiki is as a question-discovery source rather than the main economics authority. The ordinary observation - three Wetzel’s Pretzels locations in one station complex - becomes a reported economics case once Planet Money traces it through Wetzel’s Pretzels, John Fisher, and Ricky Alam.
