“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 might be palatable if it was politically balanced but it never is. Even the regular contributors to the show are leftist Kai-sycophants. And while I’m on the subject of Kai and Marketplace, I want to add a postscript about the show “Make Me Smart” that Kai does with Molly Wood. It’s a mini-version of Marketplace with the two hosts acting like lovey-dovey adolescents. I could only listen to it for a few episodes until it “Made Me Dumb.” I’m gone Kai and while I nostalgically miss the “ancient” (much less political format) Marketplace, I am happy to report that the Wondery podcasts are fabulous - I’m never looking back!”
