Is the employer also being prosecuted for hiring illegal employees? Are the workers being prosecuted for using false papers and living here illegally? This is the chicken and the egg of broken laws.

I used to love NPR because I felt that they were more bipartisan than most news outlets. Lately it seems that NPR leans heavily left. I’ll be looking for another outlet that does a better job of reporting the news, not newscaster’s opinions.

A brilliant story on water issues that artfully combines down-to-earth personal experience, science, history, and economics both local and national. A tour de force. Waiting for more.

I’ve listened to Marketplace for some time, sporadically on the radio, then a few podcasts, and then this All-In-One feed. I’ve made donations, including automatic monthly ones. But the intensification of the ads lately, culminating with the no-transition mid roll ads on Tech featuring one of Marketplace’s reporters reading copy that repeats “that is a fact” has made me less inclined to listen.

I dunno. I like the attempt at easy breezy. But the words and delivery I’m hearing are maybe what middle schoolers can do.

I have been listening daily for years, love how informative it can be. In the past 18 months a noticeable and noted agenda has crept in in either people or topics the hosts personally disagree with that is counter to the mission of unpacking information, making it accessible to all and allowing the listener to interpret the impact. Recent examples are like Space-X, where Kimberly could not separate the news and information from her personal opinion about Elon Musk (even though it is not Elon running the company, and there are thousands of engineers, scientists and workers that put their efforts into it) and even commentated saying she had unfavorable thoughts celebrating the rocket explosion and saying effectively “that is what you get”. This does nothing to inform listeners, only acts to dog whistle to like minded, or alienate those that are not. Whether they agree or not with a single individual or Their tweets, should be separated from the company and it’s actions/effects. Like it or not, space x is doing more to revolutionize aerospace exploration than has happened in decades. Tesla is responsible for putting more EV’s on the road than all other companies and forcing sticker and the industry to evolve. This is a huge benefit for climate future. Yet there is a noticeable bent Austin’s the company through comments and coverage to discredit the achievements do to the dislike of the individual owning the company. He may be unliked because of his words or tweets, but there are large company CEO’s that get DUI’s, assault charges, embezzling or fraud that get less bad coverage from the show. Cover the companies, not the personalities please!!! Separately, we don’t do enough to cover economic impacts of policy change. Example - The Secure 2.0 act is something that should be being covered often as retirement plans are the largest source of retirement for most Americans (other than their home ownership) and the changes have a huge impact to these plans. It was not applied equally and non profits/government workers are those getting left behind the most because the legislation does not fully apply to them

At least try to tone down the bleeding heart liberalism

Not sure how its happened. Perhaps I was more tolerant before. Molly Wood was an actual tech reporter. Her replacement was not. Maybe the the new one will learn to be. Ryssdall is so amazingly boring though he seems to think he’s funny. He’s just not. I give up. I’m moving on. Bye bye.

Too much opinion. From crazy “I don’t like eggs” to anti trump - who cares he’s not the president. Why. It focus on inflation and the stock market and our retirements? Way too much spin to be valuable.

Ridiculous commentary. To suggest people have left others behind because we do not wear masks every time we step outside or in public is absolutely rich. Were you wearing a mask growing up? Now all of the sudden you are the moral police? Don’t be so stupid. Do not downplay the humanity of others because it doesn’t look how you want it to. I will be good to people, not because you tell me how to, because we are all human like the next. Embarrassing and childlike to be so negative and create such a divide just over masks when people care, but unlike you. Never listening again. Stick to business news not policing others on following your opinions, because you have no real morals or integrity. We will never leave behind our friends, but you want to see what you want to see. Grow up. For example, come to paris, where old lady’s walk with a cane and blow cigarette smoke in your face. You think she is evil? Or maybe she is like many, who live their life without unnecessary qualms, unlike you infants. If you think not wearing a mask is bad, you have many people to be angry at, and to speak behind a screen without actually saying something while in public is disgusting. But what’s funny is you would never get anywhere if you tried. You’re a unwise baby. You lean on your mic like a cane but you are not going anywhere like the women who minds her business. She is wise, you are not. That is the difference. It’s not effective and you don’t know what you really believe in because you have no real thoughts of your own, what you do is complain, and it shows your character. Not masking is not the worst problem in the world, it’s not to hurt others, as you say like an infant who has never had a problem in your life. I lost all my respect for you all. Do better and maybe one day I will listen again. Frankly, I am so appalled, and I do not belong in your space. Good luck.

Everyday I would listen to your segment on NPR at 6:30 Pm EST until I had to travel and I now I have this extremely informative podcast available to listen to whenever! Great unbiased and information oriented podcast!

I specifically tried to load up your podcast today because I did not want to have to hear about this. I can hear both sides on just about any other podcast in the world but I came here for business news.

You thought it was all Bellichick then realize Brady was the gravy all along. Since Molly left it is so hard to listen to; Kai babysitting whoever the replacement is just don’t have any chemistry

Kai and company make daily economic news understandable and easy to digest. They do some in-depth reporting on how changes in economy impact people affected by it. Love the show keep doing a great job

My favorite podcast; I listen every day. Make Me Smart was just the right mix of info and entertainment to get me through the pandemic. Kai and Molly had good on air chemistry and she will be missed. The family knows not to bother me while I’m making dinner if they hear Kai on the radio.

This is where i get my news. Great reporting. I love all the hosts and their different personalities! I’m going to miss Molly Wood!!! She was my fave!!!! I’m glad they amplify the voices of people outside the straight/white/male/able-bodied identity. Also, they speak up about big tech! EXCLAMATION MARK

I’ve just listened to a 30 minute ad for ‘Lithium America’. Shame on marketplace for such trash.

I just had to stop subscribing to this podcast because Molley Woods stupid comments and whiny voice just get on my nerves. This is unfortunate because I otherwise enjoyed the programming.

If I could only have one podcast stream it would be this consolidated Marketplace stream. I listen to every episode daily. I enjoy the topics, the hosts, the sources and even the music.

Great topics but too giggly and not always very accurate. They don’t hesitate to make things up as filler while talking simultaneously...”wheee-e-e!”

Who is the host? What show am I going to get? Can’t listen to it all, can’t figure out which show is which. Help please!!

Your app never seems to load the episodes and is constantly buffering. I do not have this problem with any other podcast, only Marketplace. Please fix this problem. It has been happening for quite some time.

There is the excellent writing, interesting approaches, cool delivery of the news and… the best music.

Kia is what’s wrong with news. Uncomfortable tackling difficult uncomfortable subjects. Molly loves to take them head on … and with humor too

I refer to the people that view the world as if from space as ‘space aliens’ in that their concerns are devorced from the real world (eg dogecoin, et al). I love to hear what the elite think, so insight is worthwhile.

I rely on marketplace all in one for a good chunk of my podcast listening. One awful thing about the all-in-one is that it includes one podcast between two people , K aaaa K, who ordinarily, by themselves, are serious, intelligent, powerful reporters. But put them together and they begin their podcast with several minutes of junk, a waste of the listeners’ time, as they talk about what they are drinking and other idiotic“Stuff” someone at PBS needs to tell them to cut that out

Good content about the economy until the politics get thrown in. Kai and molly are clearly left leaning Californians who don’t know that good journalists should report the facts and let the listeners form their own opinions. More facts, less opinions please.

This show has the best soundtrack of any shows on my lists

Love all the marketplace shows.

Love the podcast content and hosts, thank you. A couple of hosts have annoying voices ugh only reason had to cut one star

You guys make my day EVERY DAY. Thank you and keep it comin!

I enjoy every podcast y’all put together, keep up the good work. To Molly/Kimberly on the make me smart Friday edition, try a Negroni Spagliato for your afternoon cocktail! A light, easy version of the Negroni. Bubbles make everything better. Stirred, not shaken. Otherwise, I particularly enjoy any focus on real estate related news. Thanks!

Tune in for your daily dose of white shaming and how “systemic racism” is responsible for everything you have and have accomplished if you’re white. A good show that has become little more than BLM apologist outlet at best.

While self admittedly possibly drunk on tequila, host’s implies to audience that mail in voting and absentee voting are equivalent, (they are not), and completely ignores fraudulent voting issues since it may disfavor her political opposition. Either too ignorant to be a host or just blatantly dishonest.

I love all the marketplaces, and now I have them all in one feed. I love it! Thank you for every wonderful, thoughtful, insightful pieces on all your marketplace shows ☺️

This show would be great without the flippancy of Molly Wood.

To quote some often abused cliches from the various iterations of Marketplace: “stay in your lane”, social progress is “not in your wheelhouse”. It doesn’t help to “Make Me Smart” if the hosts are constantly trying to inject morsels of righteousness and indignation into my head space. How ‘bout sticking to your stated business model instead of diverting into off-topic detours that don’t give your listeners what they came for? You could always start another podcast to cover the other stuff that you can’t seem to stop blurting out

Just happened upon this as I was browsing for something new to listen to on my Covid Walks and I was not disappointed. I listened to the one on pay in big tech and the related discussion on action needed to bring readily available minority tech professionals into these companies. Yes! Talent is ready - go and find them where they are; expand your resources; cast a much larger net! And don’t forget women on breaks for raising children - they too are ready! Thanks for this informative discussion!

The stories and banter are factual with and appropriate injection of humor.

Finally, after years of sitting in the car after my commute has technically ended to finish up the daily, a podcast to keep me as informed as the local APM broadcast.

There are lots of great business podcasts, but if you only have time to listen to one, the original end-of-day Marketplace is the best. If you have more time, Tech, Morning, BBC/Int’l as well as Make Me Smart go deeper on certain topics

You’re spending all your time looking for the scariest stories. How bout something upbeat? How bout finding the scientists who know this was already here in January. I didn’t get tested but I know I had it. It’s nonsense.

Excellent. Listen daily.

I’ve been listening for years, first time writing a review. Keep up the good work guys.

A more forthright news show centered on the economy. Very informative about the day’s business and economic news without being preachy one way or another. Also includes so many explainers to lay-people about complex ideas.

Kai’s unchecked arrogance and self importance have grown to the point I can’t listen any more. After I submit this, this podcast will be deleted from my library. Bring back factual news without any spin, left or right.

I listen to every daily report + Make me smart + Corner Office!! Always informative, always interesting!!

I’ve been subscribed to marketplace all in one for many years, but starting a few weeks ago now they’re suddenly using a lot of unnecessary offensive cursewords that are very low class. It has gone from something generally interesting to now a lot of “f-bombs” and other swearing that makes it no longer suitable for family listening. What a pity.

I enjoyed the interview and exploring we can access learning opportunities. I feel the interviewer challenged the CEO in a thoughtful manner.

The content is great and very informative. Kia & Molly present the info in a fun and entertaining way. The only downfall is all the ads....3 minutes of ads per 8-minute episode???? Ridiculous. I wish donors to Marketplace could get ad-free podcast episodes instead of a silly pencil pack. Marketplace producers—-please take note: You would have many more financial contributors if you offered an incentive people actually find useful (plus you wouldn’t even have to pay shipping!). The overload of ads has caused me to not listen much anymore & the 400+ downloaded episodes are just sucking up my iCloud storage space 👎
