Marketplace All-in-One

I really like the show and think the journalists are great, but I have a small complaint about being able to hear Nancy Marshall-Ginser’s saliva when she talks. Her voice and reporting are fine and it seems like a silly complaint, but I’ve been a frequent listener for years and find it to be a consistent issue with either the way she talks or the vocal production. It makes listening with headphones so insufferable I find myself skipping her sections at times.

I think my title says it all. Without Kai and his data and informed opinions, this show would definitely be less than!!!

…. Disguised as a “Economics” show! NPR, which is “Never-ending Political Rhetoric” has now taken over the last bastion of news on business, markets and the economy! Taking over Marketplace by insidiously embedding left wing political rhetoric and editorials in their “make me smart” (ironic!) rather than focus on business and the economy! For Gods sake, please stop with this nonsense, stick to markets, leave politics out of it!!!

Love the straight up info and really Main Street check ins! Data for real people.

I just give up, no news here. You stage interviews on the need for energy in the next 2 to 3 years to fuel AI and data farms and then you have an energy expert, who explains that nuclear is the future but we have no nuclear program so we should just spend more money on solar. There was no conversation about the cost of these energies or how solar will provide the needed electricity for data farms at night. Your story had no value if you want to provide information from an economics and market perspective someone on your program has to talk about dollars. What is the cost of energy per kilowatt hour. Hydro, nuclear and coal are the cheapest followed by natural gas, and you guessed it the most expensive and least reliable are solar and wind. This IS the story. You need to find experts and be capable of asking smart questions. 1 star and many tears.
