“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 episode regarding the business aspects of role playing games like Dungeons & Dragons earlier this year.
I wish however there was more content like this because it makes economics relatable… I’ve noticed a pattern recently that Marketplace discusses economics on a macro scale and notes booming business alongside inflation struggles and a very nervous consumer sector. Repetition of topics aside, I really wish Kai would take the time to focus more on the consumer (who is more than likely the person listening to the show) rather than how the Fed seems to think the economy is doing fine. As an aside, if I hear the phrase “soft landing” one more time, I might have an aneurysm!
All in all, this is a really informative podcast and I’m having a good time and learning a lot while I try to stay informed. That said, I wish the topics were a little more understanding of the circumstances most Americans are facing. Definitely worth a listen!”

“This is an NPR show that I wish was a whole half hour longer. I listen to a lot of public radio shows and there are many that I like, but this is the only show about economics that keeps me interested without the use of any absurd theatrics. The production values are beautiful, the stories are...”Read full review »

“If you can't balance a checking account, this program may be for you. If you can, you can probably skip it and do something more productive. This is a glib, lighthearted show that delights in talking about current business events in a superficial manner.”Read full review »
