  • Decent, but far too many ads (>50% of play time)

    Sept 2026: Unsubscribed today after 7 or 8 years of listening. From November 2025: I just finished today’s 8 minute podcast. Approximately 4 minutes and 15 seconds of it was advertisements and that’s not including the necessary fluff and introductory stuff. This podcast is now literally more advertising than it is content, which is sad to see.

  • Boring. Reminds me of the typical NPR show.

    I’m sure the host is trying the best that she can, but host and writer talent makes a difference.

    It is just too boring to listen to. Like someone having a coffee with someone else and casually talking about current events. The kind of conversation that starts with, “Did you hear…”.

  • Truth Finds a Way 👏

    Great to source on American markets that speaks to investors through a critical lens.

    In an age when US media are constantly being corrupted (by crypto•com and other CCP ventures), this podcast still helps listeners find real economic signals without the noise. May their future be long and prosperous 🙏💕

  • Interesting topics, mixed reviews on hosts

    This was my favorite of the Marketplace shows until Stephanie Hughes began hosting. Her vocal affectations are distracting. She toggles between her natural alto and squeaky clarinet. It sounds forced and takes me out of the reporting. Just embrace the alto even if it’s monotone; stop the squeaking. Or bring back a combination of Nova and Meghan—love them.

    Also, I would pay for a subscription to listen to Marketplace shows ad-free. PLEASE.

How attitudes toward AI differ across generations
Q: How can families navigate the tension between AI enthusiasts and skeptics to foster constructive discussions about AI's role in society?

How attitudes toward AI differ across generations
Q: What advice would you give to parents thinking about AI use by their kids, especially regarding how much is too much?
