Solid sources and telling
Feb 4
I really enjoy the perspectives of actual business owners, and the use of out of the way places to bring anecdotes or even full stories like the one in Crossville. Thoughtful, resourceful, thorough reporting.
Focus

Thank you Kai and marketplace for not only continuing today’s planed show but taking the time to explain why. In a reactionary news cycle with an inflammatory CEO, it is calming to hear marketplace is business as usual. Kudos.
Even-handed
Jan 2
Long time listener, and I appreciate how the program bends over backwards to avoid politics. It must, of course, include policies that are advocated or implemented by political actors. But the folks you interview—especially business owners—are wide-ranging and generally focus on their circumstances. Good job!
Surface Level Lib Propoganda
Jan 23
Used to listen when I was younger. Listening again now after having put in over fifteen years in the debt capital markets deploying around $15bn in credit. This show is surface level propaganda for “international” trade and their owners. No concern for quality of human life. Typical libs with no concern for those near your (there’s an infamous heat map for this). Let in the world to the States and ignore all the crimes against Americans. Hey babe wake up… Trump is still your president. And your little pets to change demographics and voting blocks are all getting deported.
