  • No more Dave Clark

    Great show, quick hits, easy listen. Love the data oriented delivery that lacks with most media. Please don’t bother brining in experts from Ticket News to talk about “feelings” “perceptions” and “sentiments’l.” Three minutes wasted saying there is no way to know!

  • Redundant

    In a 7 to 9 minute production, I get the same ad twice, for each product.

    Then I can’t wait for the local business person who is getting screwed by the tariffs story.

    The flower shop owner, the tea importer, and now the coffee shop operator interviews consumes another 2-3 minutes. It’s the same story! We all know small business is getting screwed over by tariffs.

    Morning Report is becoming an “oh woe is me”environment like Make Me Smart.

    I am worried this will exacerbate with bringing Deb... more

    The pprogram has turned more and more opinion over the years and it overshadows the headlines to the detriment of young listeners. Sadly the value is gone and the conclusions harm followers.

  • Please stop with the Thoughts on the Market Ads!

    The reporting content is great once you get to it, but it’s becoming really irksome to have to listen to the same speaking Morgan Stanley’s Thoughts on the Market podcast ad — the speaking voice is incredibly annoying, inconsistent with the strong clear cadence of Marketplace, and most listeners don’t want to have to fast-forward every episode.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Happy 9/25!
Q: How are the various parts of the continent feeling the economic pressures of this war domestically?
African economies are feeling a cost-of-living shock due to higher energy and transportation costs, which affect electricity, food distribution, and basic goods; the path forward involves strengthening refining capacity, diversifying energy sources, and building resilient supply chains.
Prepping for a deluge of labor market data
Q: So what's going on here, Max? Why is there so little trust in government?
Max explains that distrust is not new, has grown across institutions, and is linked to perceived erosion of government capability. He emphasizes that public sentiment reflects a loss of trust in governance and highlights the importance of seeing federal workers as individuals delivering work for the public, which can improve attitudes.
Clearing the way for a Paramount-Warner Bros. merger
Q: What concessions has Paramount agreed to make to help this go through?
Paramount has agreed to behavioral concessions, such as continuing a steady production level of 30 to 32 films per year for five years and increasing US film production spending by about $1.5 billion, along with non-movement on relocating operations out of California and creating an editorial panel to oversee CBS News and CNN within the merged entity.
Even middle-income folks are struggling to pay rent
Q: How should we interpret the mid- or long-term implications for the broader economy?
Rising housing costs and the affordability squeeze reflect broader inflation dynamics and wage trends, suggesting that Americans are experiencing less affordable living costs and that this could influence spending patterns and mobility.
Even middle-income folks are struggling to pay rent
Q: What are some of your key findings about renting in this study?
The number of renters with problems paying rent increased from 2024 to 2025, and while lower-income renters remain most affected, the share of middle-income renters facing these challenges grew the most.
