Overall essential
I can do without the “takes you there” stories and always skip those but Marketplace makes me better informed otherwise.

Show with Potential
Potentially a lot of good kick off the morning data. However the insistence that the core good of this show is about equality and environment is tiring. Both are important pieces of the topic but the topic has a thousand different pieces and these are just two. Now they offer a “crash course” and what is mentioned you will learn? Equality and environment. Either the podcaster or those that sponsor it have a clear agenda to make people see things their way, not get better at Economics.

Great morning show!
The show is a necessary part of day. Out they really had me bought in once I heard a part of the Persona 5 soundtrack during their transition to a new story! Bravo! “Wake up, Get up, Get out there!”

New Host
For the new host, I am open to listening, but he needs practicing interviewing. Really is ruining the listening experience. Please listen better to the guests, stop interrupting them and ask questions that are more pertinent to what they respond from previous questions. Long time listener and career media producer. Will change/update review if I hear improvements.

Too many ads
Every Podcast nowadays is loaded with advertising, totally irrelevant to the show. Enough! Unsubscribing. Sayonara!

Mostly great
A couple issues 1) you sign up for 1, but get 3 podcasts (2 US based, 1 UK) every day. 2) they semi-regularly veer off from economic to news to political discussions, such as a recent money in politics series. Please leave that to regular npr stories.

The show content is great, but it seems like for such a brief show, maybe 40% of it is advertisements for other shows. Really annoying.

Please stop it with Reema’s promos on the out-go’s
I’ll resubscribe in 3 months to see if you’ve stopped putting Reema’s promos in every Marketplace podcast. Once a week I can handle but multiple times a day is too many. I can’t be alone in finding her voice painful in the promos.

Incredible Reporting but...
I’m a Marketplace listener and I took Kai’s push to subscribe to this additional show, but I swear if y’all can’t find a little more diversity for your advertising I am gone. If I hear “HI Y’ALL IM KRISSY CLARK” one more time I think my head is going to implode. I can’t hit that 30 second skip button fast enough.

Ad-Filled and Biased
Wish I could recommend Marketplace, but it’s ad-to-content ratio is ridiculous. It may the appearance of being objective but it is very politically biased. I feel like the show often misses the forest for the trees. I’m constantly frustrated that the show covers so many stories, but none go deep enough to give you a comprehensive take. I’ll stick with the Motley Fool and the WSJ for now.

Tired of the left-leaning opinion woven into every single story. The show is great when you just report the news. But it’s too far gone. Unsubscribe.

Alternative to left leaning flagship program
Daily economic news in a straightforward manner. Finally had to give up on the evening program with its snide comments and left leaning slant. Just started listening via the podcast instead of radio and agree with comments about why three versions on the same podcast.

A lesser program would...
...simply rehash yesterday's news. Come on, you were worried that would be the case, right? Instead, the morning report complements and amplifies the flagship program. If you preferred this one for the brevity, you would not be wrong. But you'd be better off listening to both. Oh yes, and giving them whatever value you assign to outstanding business journalism. I do. It not a donation; they earned it.

Subtly, but clearly politically biased.
Quality of reporting has declined and this show has become more of a water cooler level discussion of what’s going on. Hosts have been getting more and more snarky and cutesie with regard to politicians and officials who differ from leanings. It’s a shame, this used to be decently informative.

Timeliness is a problem
I really like the content (5 stars), but many days the earliest release (of three) doesn’t come until 8:30am or even 9am EST. By that time I’m already at work and don’t have time to listen to podcasts again till afternoon, at which point a “morning report” is irrelevant.

Great, but don’t need all 3
I like the morning podcast. Right length. But, three—US, Markets, International—each morning is too many. Let me select which to download, instead of requiring all three.

I love Morning Report. I used to look forward to listening to it on my morning commute. That podcast is still great but I can't find it with all the other things they're throwing in. Two or three additional ones that aren't of interest. Finally just gave up and unsubscribed.

Robot-Proof Jobs Great Journalism
This podcast plus the evening Marketplace podcast are the only podcasts I listen to regularly (altho I'm adding "Make Me Smart.") David Brancaccio's attention to the issue of automation and jobs is incredibly important. I'm beginning to think that automation has a bigger economic impact on Western economies than globalization. Brancaccio is on the same page and providing essential information about this topic, including some exploration of how our society can mitigate the impact and possibly head off the growth and permanency of a jobless, occupation-less and despairing underclass.

What happened to radio voices?
Content is great, but vocal inflections border on annoying! One or two words are LOUD and the rest of the sentence is almost whispered. Not just the case with one reporter, many reports are like this. Makes it very difficult to listen when driving. What happened to smooth radio voices?

Good podcast, horrible delivery
I love this podcast, but for the past week they have been publishing the full episode and then each individual story. The podcast app doesn't distinguish so we get everything twice. Stop doing that. Have a separate feed for each individual story.

Not as good as it used to be.
This used to be a great nugget of information and a teaser to the stories coming up throughtout all the shows. Now, I skate through it as most of the topics are presented in both Marketplace and/or the Mid-Day report verbatim. It would be better if they would either eliminate it altogether, or break up the Mid Day into two parts so they have a chance to update instead of replay.

Great Summary
I enjoy the Marketplace Morning Report podcasts immensely as they are a great summary of what is happening in the markets. However, the reason I don't give it a higher score is that they are inconsistent as to the time the podcast becomes available. I download several podcasts in the morning(at about the same time, 8 am Eastern, every work day) and take my iPod to with me so I can listen as I review the morning e-mails, etc. It is hit or miss on whether I get this podcast or not.

Another great show from the Marketplace folks!
The Marketplace Morning Report is another fantastic show from American Public Media, showcasing the breaking business and personal finance news stories for the coming day. At just under fifteen minutes long (on NPR in the mornings, the podcast is even shorter than that!), I am always left wanting more. I would love for the Marketplace Morning Report to be as long as Marketplace! 30 minutes would be perfect. I won't knock the Marketplace Morning Report down a star for being too short, though. Like Kai Ryssdal (host of Marketplace and Marketplace Money), Marketplace Morning Report host Scott Jagow has the knack for turning what could be very bland business and personal finance news into stories that anyone would be interested in listening to. He has a perfect combination of knowledge and wit that really helps to keep a person awake on that early morning drive to the office. Unlike Marketplace and Marketplace Money, the Marketplace Morning Report has always been a free podcast. (The other two were previously only available via a paid subscription through Audible.) If you only have 10 minutes to listen to a few money-related stories, check out the Marketplace Morning Report. You probably won't be sorry you did!

A good taste of Marketplace. I am not able to listen at the "right" time to catch Marketplace over the air so this is a good replacement. It would be great if they could put the full broadcast up! I would even contribute to my local station. Honest! :)

- Need to cancel a subscription? It may soon get a lot easierHave you got a bunch of subscription services that need to be canceled but are dissuaded by the onerous process? A new proposal by the Federal Trade Commission aims to streamline cancellations by requiring companies to make opting out as easy as opting in. Plus, we chat with Dr. David Kelly, Chief Global Strategist at JPMorgan Asset Management, about the macroeconomic environment as top banking regulators testify in front of Congress. And, how some American streaming giants like Netflix are winning the hearts and minds of people in France.0 comments0
- Top banking regulators to testify on the HillOfficials from numerous government agencies that oversee the banking industry will testify in front of the Senate Banking Committee today. We look at what they’re expected to tell lawmakers about the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and related financial jitters in recent weeks. Plus, protests are continuing in France over president Emmanual Macron’s unpopular pension reforms. And, SVB’s downfall has brought new uncertainty for a variety of businesses, including some winemakers in California.0 comments0
- Marketplace Morning Report Mar 28 · 8m How global powers vie for influence in AfricaFrom the BBC World Service: Vice President Kamala Harris has announced a $100 million conflict prevention package for West Africa at the start of a week-long visit to the continent. We look at how Washington is seeking to counter the growing influence of China and Russia in Africa. Plus, Chinese billionaire Jack Ma is perhaps the most high-profile name in a long list of businessmen to have recently disappeared from public life in China. It’s all linked to President Xi’s crackdown on big tech companies. So why did he reappear at a Chinese school? And, we take a look at the $300 billion ‘modest fashion’ industry.0 comments0
- Economists think that we’ll see a recession AND inflation this yearA new survey from the National Association of Business Economics indicates that economists believe the U.S. economy will have to endure high inflation along with a potential recession this year. Julia Coronado, president of the organization, talks through the data. Plus, Chinese factories are struggling to get back to their pre-lockdown production levels even after restrictions were lifted. And, we talk with WNYC senior reporter Nancy Solomon about how tax breaks intended on bringing jobs to the city of Camden, NJ mostly didn’t boost local employment.0 comments0
- Consumers are now more skeptical of using smaller banksThe recent turmoil in the banking sector has spooked a number of consumers into moving their deposits from smaller financial institutions to larger ones. We look at what’s driving that shift, as well as what it could mean if the trend continues. First Citizens Bancshares, which is based in North Carolina, will acquire a large chunk of the assets of the collapsed Silicon Valley Bank. And, a recent recall of eyedrops issued by a couple of companies raises the question of how a recall affects consumers and businesses.0 comments0
- First Citizens picks up SVB assetsFrom the BBC World Service: It’s Monday, which means there’s another deal in the banking sector. First Citizens BancShares has bought all the loans and deposits of Silicon Valley Bank. Its collapse a few weeks ago triggered a crisis of confidence in the industry, but we’ve seen European banking shares trading higher today. Plus, a strike by two of Germany’s largest unions has brought public transport there to a near standstill. And, it’s 50 years since women were first allowed to work on the trading floors of the London Stock Exchange. We hear from some of the pioneers.0 comments0
- In normal times, central banks just call each other once in a while. Not right now.No, right now, central banks around the world have moved to a second level of coordination. All of the economic jitters have more people around the world turning to U.S. dollars for investment security. That rapid flow of dollars can upset the balance, and so the Federal Reserve has had to step in and manage things more carefully. Meanwhile, there is more banking concern today, this time from Germany with Deutsche Bank. Also, protests in France over pension overhauls reach a fever pitch. And, how long until lab-grown meat hits the grocery store shelves?0 comments0
- Banks are still borrowing emergency funds from the FedBut at least this week they borrowed less than they did last week. That’s a good sign. We look at why the U.S. central bank is making it easier for banks to borrow more money. And, earlier this month, after 10 years of negotiating, countries at the United Nations hammered out a new treaty that has the potential to significantly change how the world’s oceans are governed. The treaty also sets some rules and regulations around trade on the high seas and the use of natural resources.0 comments0
- Marketplace Morning Report Mar 24 · 8m There’s a T. rex on sale in EuropeFrom the BBC World Service: For the first time since 2019, China is hosting its three-day development forum to show the world that it’s back in business. However, the U.S. guest list is pretty short due to growing tensions between the two countries. Plus, the South Korean businessman, Do Kwon, has been charged by U.S. prosecutors with fraud, over a failed cryptocurrency scheme. Plus, a Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton is going on sale for the first time ever in Europe, valued at around $6 million. But there are concerns it could be locked away from public view by a private buyer.0 comments0
- Calls for more banking regulation come from CongressIn the wake of turmoil in the banking system, some in Congress argue the solution is more regulation. Republican Sen. Rick Scott and Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren have unveiled legislation that would add a new watchdog to oversee the Federal Reserve itself. That’s just one part of the conversation happening in Washington about tightening regulation. Plus, will banking system jitters do the Federal Reserve’s job for it? Also, keeping an eye on the housing market, which is starting to show some traces of stabilization after new home sales rose unexpectedly in February. And, how China hopes to boost its population and, by extension, its economy.0 comments0
- Why the Fed decided to raise interest rates yesterdayThe Federal Reserve, after much hand-wringing amongst market watchers, ended up raising interest rates by 0.25% yesterday, signaling the central bank’s emphasis on fighting inflation despite recent instability in the financial sector. We look into what went into Chair Jerome Powell’s calculus on the rate decision. Meanwhile, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen sought to assuage monetary hawks yesterday, saying that the government would not implement a blanket policy of fully insuring bank deposits. And, China’s population is changing as many workers age, but some say the demographic shift isn’t as big of a deal as it’s made out to be.0 comments0
- Rising rates: inflation vs bank balance sheetsFrom the BBC World Service: After the Federal Reserve, it’s the turn of the Bank of England to make a decision on interest rates. Central banks are juggling two major concerns — inflation and stability in the banking sector. Since SVB collapsed, we’ve seen how higher rates affect the value of assets like bond portfolios held by banks. But in the UK, that decision may be clearer because inflation remains stubbornly high — markets are certainly expecting another rise. Meanwhile, there’s a tussle in the European Union over the date to phase out gas-powered and diesel cars. And, what’s it like doing business in Iraq 20 years after the U.S.-led invasion?0 comments0
- LA educators continue strike, aided by high demand for jobsEducators, teachers and other employees at the Los Angeles Unified School District are continuing their strike for higher pay. We look into how broader labor trends are helping demonstrators on the ground make their case. And, we talk with Boston College Law School professor Patricia McCoy about how the government’s recent actions to calm anxiety in the financial sector are adding to the so-called “moral hazard”.0 comments0
- As states pass pay transparency laws, is their impact clear?Eight states thus far have passed laws to boost pay transparency in job listings, aiming to grant applicants more information in a competitive job market. We look at the experience of New York City after implementing its own rule. Chris Farrell explains how to make the most of federal deposit insurance — and how someone can get more than $250,000 in the bank insured. And, Google yesterday released Bard, its competitor to Microsoft’s AI chatbot, ChatGPT.0 comments0
- Marketplace Morning Report Mar 22 · 10m How Ramadan drives a multi-billion dollar date industryFrom the BBC World Service: As the Islamic holy month of Ramadan gets underway, we look at the significance of dates and the multi-billion dollar business of supplying those breaking their fasts. Plus, Ukraine gets a $15bn boost from the International Monetary Fund, and we hear about the class action launched in Indonesia by parents whose children died or were injured by contaminated cough syrup.0 comments0
- Home sales rebound after a year of decline, but uncertainty loomsThe latest data on U.S. home sales showed a huge rebound of 14.5% in February, reversing a trend of decline that lasted more than a year. That said, the market is still fraught with uncertainty, especially amid the recent jitters in the global financial sector. We talk to Guy LeBas of Janney Montgomery Scott about Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen’s recent announcement that the government would insure the balance of deposits at smaller banks. And, prior to the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, both institutions received favorable credit ratings from firms like Moody’s, prompting questions about what ratings are actually useful for.0 comments0
- Loans could become harder to get as financial sector reelsAmid the continued fallout from the failure of two mid-sized U.S. banks and the acquisition of Credit Suisse, financial institutions are likely to start applying greater scrutiny to the loans they give out. We look at what could move banks’ calculus in that direction…and who would be most affected. Another consequence of the recent turmoil in the financial sector has been lower oil prices, which have seen one of their biggest slumps in recent years. And, a fact-check of claims — often made by prominent Republicans — that so-called “woke investing” caused the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank with Washington Post reporter Julian Mark.0 comments0
- Sri Lanka: Is $3 billion enough to save the economy?From the BBC World Service: Sri Lanka has been battling economic breakdown for nearly a year. A foreign reserve crisis toppled the country’s president and led to shortages and soaring inflation. Now a $3 billion rescue package has been agreed upon with the International Monetary Fund. We ask if it’s enough and find out what reforms the nation will have to implement to keep the cash flowing. Plus, investors holding Credit Suisse debt lost everything in the rescue deal with UBS. We hear from one of them on how it’s affected confidence in the market. And, with another warning on climate collapse from the UN, we ask what Lego — one of the biggest toymakers in the world — is doing to cut emissions.0 comments0
- The Fed has a will-they-won’t-they dilemma with next rate decisionThe Federal Reserve’s top committee that sets interest rate targets is due to meet in the middle of this week, where it suddenly has a lot more to consider amid global unease about the banking system. Economist Julia Coronado explains what Jerome Powell and co. may be thinking. Meanwhile over the weekend, the Fed announced it’s coordinating with other world central banks to make sure there are enough dollars in the financial system. In Europe, stock markets took a hammering after the acquisition of Credit Suisse. And, a look at how holders of federal housing vouchers in Texas are facing difficulties finding a place to live.0 comments0
- Deja vu? Another weekend of bank turmoilIt’s been a tough couple of weeks for the global banking sector — the embattled lender Credit Suisse was purchased by fellow Swiss rival UBS for a motley sum of around $3 billion. University of Michigan professor Erik Gordon explains what that means amid the wider unease about the financial sector. Meanwhile, the Fed was one a group of the world’s central banks that came up with system to ensure banks have cash if they need it. And, a look into what’s happened to Signature Bank since it was acquired by federal regulators little over a week ago.0 comments0
- Marketplace Morning Report Mar 20 · 10m A shotgun wedding for UBS and Credit SuisseFrom the BBC World Service: Just another manic Monday in the banking sector after UBS agrees a $3 billion deal to buy beleaguered Credit Suisse. But who loses out, and has it restored confidence in banks? Chinese President Xi Jinping is due to visit Russia this week, which may impact the latter’s fortunes in Ukraine. Plus, on the 20th anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, we travel to Baghdad’s central market and speak to traders about the country’s dollar crisis.0 comments0
- Inside Ireland’s shrewd St. Patrick’s day diplomacyIt’s St. Patrick’s Day, meaning people around the world will be wearing green and celebrating Irish culture — even those who don’t have roots there. But according to the BBC’s Leanna Byrne, it’s also a big day for Irish diplomacy and business, as the country uses its widely-recognized national day to foster economic ties around the world. And, we spoke with Yale’s Steven Kelly about the limits of comparing the now-defunct Silicon Valley Bank with the rest of the financial system.0 comments0
- Banks are leaning on each other for cash amid turbulenceThis past week, banks have been ramping up their cash borrowing at record rates to shore up reserves in the wake of recent bank failures. We look at who’s been lending smaller institutions money, including the Federal Reserve and larger banks, and why it matters. New academic research on America’s banking sector has found that the real value of the industry is less than it looks on paper because of rising interest rates. And, a trip to Louisiana, where residents of a former “Black Wall Street” community are raising questions about how the construction of a highway has damaged the area’s economic welfare.0 comments0
- Uproar in France as pension reform is pushed through parliamentFrom the BBC World Service: There have been protests inside and outside the French parliament as President Emmanuel Macron invoked special constitutional powers to pass his contentious pensions bill, which he said is needed to ensure the system does not go bust. BBC Paris Correspondent Hugh Schofield was watching proceedings unfold in the French capital. Plus, today is St Patrick’s Day, so how does Ireland make the most of this opportunity when it comes to trade? Marketplace’s Leanna Bryne’s been finding out.0 comments0
