Tariff pain and retaliation

They’re here: President Donald Trump’s 25% tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico begin today, as well as an additional 10% tax on goods from China. In this episode, we hear from business owners who are caught in the middle of trade policy chaos and explain why Texas is likely to suffer in particular. Plus, Forest Service layoffs devastate rural western mountain towns, and small warehouses are in demand but hard to come by.

Bird flu spreads its wings

As bird flu proliferates across U.S. farms, infecting chickens, cows and even humans, some public health experts worry that that funding to deal with it has been inadequate. Above all, they say we need stronger incentives for farmers and farmworkers to test for and report cases of the virus. Plus, the manufacturing sector’s outlook remains mixed, two-thirds of Americans say they have been victims of a financial scam and what could happen if we removed government spending from GDP calculations.

Will Hollywood’s behind-the-scenes workers stay?

In the past decade, filming outside of Los Angeles has become a cost-effective option for many major studios. And lower housing costs are driving many lighting techs, grips and gaffers to follow. With roughly 13,000 homes lost in January’s wildfires, staying in LA will be even harder for those workers. Also on the show, the rising cost of utilities and a second act for frozen foods.

Hope or fear?

Capital goods orders picked up in January — that’s stuff businesses buy that’ll last a while, like tools and equipment. Is it a sign business owners have money to spend? Or, have tariffs fears and economic uncertainty spooked them into buying things before it’s too late? Also in this episode: Unemployment claims tick up (and that’s not even counting laid-off federal workers), architects stress fire resilience in rebuilding and used car prices rise.

The GDP equation

The second Trump administration has made spending cuts a priority — already, the president has enacted a funding freeze and laid off thousands of federal workers. Reduced government spending will have major ripple effects, though, like shrinking the nation’s GDP. Also in this episode: Trump’s move toward Russia threatens longstanding relationships with European allies and Instacart forecasts a growth slowdown.

A housing reality check

Home Depot, which makes most of its money from renovations, said small projects are driving its sales. That suggests homeowners are staying put — maybe improving the home they have while waiting for a clearer picture of the economy. Meanwhile, home prices just keep rising, although market volatility has cooled off. Also in this episode: When Canadian energy tariffs take effect, New Englanders will pay up and consumer confidence drops amid inflation anxiety.

Who’s in the consumer-spending driver’s seat?

The top 10% of earners account for half of all consumer spending in the U.S., a new study shows. In other words, if the goods and services Americans buy in a year were a pie, those with the highest incomes have been shelling out for a massive slice. Where does that leave everyone else? Also in this episode: Investors and the AI industry await Nvidia’s earnings report this week and tariffs threaten a complex auto manufacturing supply chain.

Tumbling economic sentiment — especially for Dems

American consumers agree: High prices aren’t going anywhere. All that stress about inflation, and throw in the impact of tariffs, heightens uncertainty, which translates into negative economic sentiment. But the severity of concern varies between Republicans and Democrats — a lot. Also in this episode: Private data can’t replace government data, oil tankers “go dark” and though the travel industry enjoyed healthy growth last year, new Trump policies could affect the upward trend.

Informative show with valuable reporting on all aspects of the economy

Marketplace and its sibling shows from APM are an invaluable resource to listeners. They offer thorough coverage of the American and world economy, have explainers that are both timely and don’t insult your intelligence and a bench of wonderful reporters that have continued to hone their skills over the years. This includes hosts such as Kai Ryssdal and David Brancaccio who are very insightful while keeping it fresh, funny and upbeat, even in the face of difficult times (I started listening prior to the 2008-2009 financial crisis. Highly recommended.
Excellent Program

I’ve listened to this show for years and love it for my economic news. However since Trump 2.0, Kai Ryssdal has become insufferable to listen to always bashing Trump and making this show more political than economics. Unfortunately I’m going to be unfollowing and trying to find an unbiased economics podcast.

I’m a longtime listener of this podcast but am done with it. The political bias has gotten worse and I am done dealing with it. They take shots at the Trump administration all the time. I’m done. I just want an unbiased daily report and have found other alternatives. Why did you have to mess this podcast up? It’s not difficult.
