Every day, theres a new story glossing over record inflation, energy prices skyrocketing, and consumer debt at all time highs. This propaganda podcast has become a total joke. They sound like Reagan republicans, only caring about the stock market and corporate profits. As someone who’s been...Read full review »

Marketplace is a podcast that excels on multiple fronts. I enjoy the reporting, the interviews, and the conversational style of its host. Thank you for making the days business news entertaining!

illegal immigration suppresses wages for actual hardworking Americans because companies would rather hire cheaper undocumented labor than pay competitive wages. The fact that they frame this as “helping with inflation” is disgusting. These people are not journalist, they are propagandists pushing...Read full review »

They used to be a good source of financial and market news. Now they report on almost nothing but climate. And it is not anything newsworthy in the area just the same stories basically being aired again and again. If they leaned anymore to one side they would fall over.

I’ve been listening for years and I like the variety of topics and views. Lately I feel like the coverage of the general economy is very partisan, and sometimes I wonder if the Biden admin signs you checks. For example saying that the influx of immigrants has helped bring down inflation. Yes wage...Read full review »

I can only suppose that Kai said that ugly thing about Krispy Kreme doughnuts because his taste buds were somehow shot off while he was in the Navy. There is nothing quite as good as a Krispy Kreme doughnut, especially when they are hot. Kai, I’m sorry you don’t appreciate good things. 😉

Kai and the Marketplace gang have made me savvy about economics and so much more. It’s gray to have the podcast when I miss the show.
Gayleg57 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/01/24
My favorite “the sky is falling podcast”. No matter how good the economic news is they always find a downside to highlight. Now that the economy is so great they have pivoted away to highlighting the national debt to scare people. I guess Public Radio has learned a thing or two from Fox News,...Read full review »

First, I’ve been a fan and listener since my daughter was a senior in high school and I would listen on XM, while waiting in the parking lot for her, 12 years ago. And I’m not going anywhere. But explain how you can repeatedly say that holiday spending is up 3% when inflation for the year was...Read full review »

Even though I am 12 years old and live in Japan, the host of this podcast teaches me economics in a very understandable way. I recommend this podcast to anyone who wants to learn about economics.

I have enjoyed this show during commutes after teaching, then stirring up dinners for children, now keeping up with podcasts at my leisure. Love, love love the format, the explanation, the emphasis, the education. Thank you and keep it up, gold stars all around!!

I've been listening to Kai for 10+ years along with my oldest son who used to sit in the high chair at our table at six months old and listen to him on the radio in San Francisco. Kai understands people and how they think and explains financial matters in a way that makes it easily...Read full review »

I’m in the financial industry but I still enjoy listening to Marketplace every day. This is the most accessible podcast for those wanting to better understand the economy and markets.
AlphaRhoGamma via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/10/23
All the while the corrupt mainstream, government controlled media ignores the Biden Crime Family. This is a garbage leftist, George Soros funded podcast. Keep spreading the global warming lie.
Zamalama69 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/08/23
I listen to this show through my local NPR station on my commute home. I’ll start with the good and then go through what Kai and his team need to work on. Kai is a captivating host and makes the economic news of the week digestible and even fun sometimes. For example, I enjoyed especially the...Read full review »

This is the one podcast I make a point to listen to every day. Love the way they tell micro stories that tie into a macro perspective.

I am listening for 4-5 years. Initially it sounded like another podcast. But within a month I realized the true value of it. We live in a socio-economic world. Economics always influences our daily life. The program gives you a unique perspective. Needless to say Kai is very witty and...Read full review »

Just saw his picture on the app, totally not what I imagined in mind! This program has earned me serious money. The episode about bitcoin when it was at $300, glad I jumped in!

When you call people like me “homophobes” and “transphobes” by us merely disagreeing with companies (Anheuser-Busch, Target) broadcasting lifestyles unacceptable to us, you alienate over half of the US population. Unsubscribe ✅.

I happily listen to this podcasts everyday. Keep up the great work!!!!!!

I enjoy the content and appreciate the depth with which they cover topics. I hate, Hate, HATE the lengthy, annoying and unnecessary musical interludes and transitions. They are way too long, just wasting time for no good reason.

Fantastic show. Well produced, well written, and great subject matter. If looking for another daily news show, this is a good one to add to the circulation.

I never write reviews, but I just finished listening to, “what’s at the heart of the debt limit debate.” Today’s show seemed like a mouthpiece for the Biden administration. Did the administration give talking points for the entire show and tell you to lay the groundwork for unilaterally raising...Read full review »

Great mix of economic stories.
Judson K via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/17/23
Why is it so difficult to report news, especially economic news, right down the middle? Kai, or his script writers, need to take an objective look at the tone they set. Keep the progressive dog whistles out of the program. He must think his delivery is so smooth that nobody notices.
Ein_Bier_Bitte via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/11/23
I’ve been listening for many years. I enjoyed the humor and Kai’s perfect radio voice for my daily dose of economic news. Sadly, I now feel that I must tune out for what I see as a heavy bias to the left. I want facts so that I can come to my own conclusions. Help me understand both sides of the...Read full review »

Marketplace helps me go to sleep. It’s well made and interesting to hear.

Spends so long mid-show on daily movements of stock when weekly or monthly trends would more often than not be more informative.
Dc20009GFS via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/09/23
While the show has always had a cancerous underbelly of politics to it, during the past few years it has metastasized into stage-four. This is a business / finance show, not a politics’ show. The person to blame is Kai as he has embraced the change to a politics-centric show. Notwithstanding, it...Read full review »

I did not know that it would be possible to wokify a financial podcast. But this one has accomplished it. It seems that in every episode, they find a way to weasel in some sort of agenda-based puff piece, rather than just focusing on the financial news topics that are relevant and what I had...Read full review »

Kai does an amazing job. The podcasts are always interesting and varied; they’re insightful and also go into a lot of detail, but always very up-to-date with a good and strong economic focus.
