Can customs tech really simplify the import-export process?

Borders may be invisible to most shoppers, but for businesses, they often mean delays, extra costs, and reams of paperwork. And amid Trump’s trade war, global trade is now faster and more complex than ever. Those new pressures have sparked a boom in new "customs tech" companies promising to speed things up. The BBC’s Leanna Byrne reports.

Bipartisan bill would help parents to monitor kids' social media for harmful activity

It’s challenging for parents to get access to their kids’ data to look out for online harms. In Congress, there's a bipartisan push to change that with a bill called Sammy's Law, named after a teen who died of fentanyl poisoning in 2021. He purchased drugs on social media. Marketplace’s Nova Safo spoke with Will Oremus, tech news analysis writer at The Washington Post, who’s been monitoring the bill's progress.

The latest iPad update comes with laptop functionality

Fifteen years ago, then-CEO Steve Jobs unveiled the iPad. His vision was for a lean-back device used mostly to consume content. Now, with the latest iPadOS 26, the device is evolving into something different — and perhaps something more useful. Craig Grannell got early access to iPadOS 26 and wrote about the system's laptop-like qualities in Wired magazine.

Have video games become unaffordable?

Video gaming can be an expensive hobby. Nintendo’s latest Mario Kart game, Mario Kart World, released in June, costs $80, and it’s widely expected that Grand Theft Audio VI, coming out next year, will top $100. So are games becoming unaffordable … or do gamers not know how good they’ve got it? The BBC’s Will Chalk breaks it down.

Bytes: Week in Review — Google antitrust verdict, Trump's crypto stake, and AI angst

The Trump family took their digital token public this week. Plus, artificial intelligence is generating angst in Silicon Valley. But first, Google’s antitrust case over its search business ended this week with a punishment far short of what the government sought. Google could have been forced to sell off its Chrome browser or stop paying Apple and others to make it the default search engine. Instead, a federal judge said all the company has to do is share some of its search data with rivals. Marketplace’s Nova Safo spoke with Natasha Mascarenhas, a reporter at The Information, to discuss all of this and more.

Police departments quietly disable AI-generated report safeguards

Axon, a company that makes policing equipment, developed new software called Draft One that takes recordings from police cameras and uses artificial intelligence to summarize them into incident reports. Many police departments trying out the tool are not disclosing that they're using AI to write reports, according to a Mother Jones investigation. That potentially leaves both prosecutors and defense attorneys in the blind — despite safeguards Axon built into its software to prevent this very scenario, and to remove errors or AI hallucinations. Marketplace’s Nova Safo spoke with investigative journalist Tekendra Parmar who reported the story for Mother Jones.

Excellent Pod

So sad to hear that Ms. Jamali is not a fan of Gin. Our go-to Gin for a Gin Martini (definitely stirred not shake; love 007 but he definitely got it wrong…) is Hendricks. If the Gin is not juniper berry dominant, then it is not preferred, in our humble opinion. Love this podcast!
Please stop with Morgan Stanley ads! They make this podcast unlistenable!

What it says on the title. The Thoughts on the Market podcast ad being vomited on repeat is incredibly annoying, and I really don’t know why Marketplace is regularly promoting a podcast with such a gratingly annoying voice. It’s already made me unsubscribe from Morning Report, and this is next if it keeps up. It’s amazing content once you get past the terrible ads but at a certain point, I can’t handle the constant skipping.
An orphaned podcast in Marketplace family

With a parade of hosts, lackluster stories—some with a 1.5 minute runtime—that didn’t make the flagship program, and three ad blocs (try listening a few episodes back-to-back and you will feel that you’re listening to the same ads over and over with some tiny reporting in between) this podcast is an afterthought among Marketplace leaders and staff. I wonder why I should treat any differently.
