Marketplace


Marketplace (PM)

Week of November 14

  • Kai talks with Lindsay McCormick, CEO of Bite Toothpaste Bits about packaging for retail vs eCommerce.
  • The United States is experiencing an extreme shortage of transformers. Not the robots that turn into cars — the kind that are essential to the electrical grid, from connecting city streetlights to powering your city. It’s gotten so bad that public power and cooperative utilities recently sent a letter to Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm emphasizing the crisis and asking the Department of Energy to use funding from the new climate law to boost U.S. production of smaller transformers. Marketplace’s Andy Uhler reports.

Marketplace Tech

Kimberly hosts all week.

  • Nov 14: Kimberly Adams speaks with Jennifer Abruzzo, General Counsel for the National Labor Relations Board, on the NLRB’s stance on workplace surveillance tech—and how the NLRB could soon crack down on employers that abuse worker privacy.
  • Nov 15: A conversation about how the use of social media platforms and other online spaces played out in the midterm elections — and what the growing use of and reliance on online spaces means for the future of democracy and civil dialogue.
  • Nov 16: Kimberly speaks with Dustin Loup of the National Broadband Mapping Coalition to talk about the FCC’s first national broadband map update release, which is slated to happen later this month.
  • Nov 17: A host feature from reporter Amy Scott (excerpted from of our Marketplace podcast How We Survive,) about how insurers use technology to calculate the risk of doing business in areas that are increasingly susceptible to hurricanes and other climate disasters.

On Point

  • Nov 14: In a world where we emphasize productivity and even celebrate busyness, is constant fatigue inevitable, or can we learn and practice meaningful rest? Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith joins Meghna with some advice on how to be better rested.
  • Nov 16: Political pundits often cast the electorate as increasingly polarized but in the midterms, voters from New Hampshire, to Georgia, to Arizona split their tickets, voting for candidates from different parties in national and local races. On Point looks into what’s driving this and what it tells us about what voters are looking for in candidates. Anthony Brooks hosts.
  • Nov 17: When COVID struck in 2020 and employers started laying off workers, women were particularly affected to the degree that it became known as the “she-cession.” Harvard Professor, Claudia Goldin, has taken a closer look at what happened and tells Meghna that the real divide is less about gender than it is about education and that women took on more caregiving as, inn aggregate, they held on to their jobs.
