Marketplace (PM)

Week of January 30

  • Kai explains what it means when firms forecast a recession in 2023 — what data do they look at…how do they factor in economic trends and history.

Marketplace Tech

  • Jan 30: The federal government wants to increase the number of public charging stations for electric cars tenfold by the end of the decade. It’s part of the Biden Administration’s a larger plan to decarbonize the transportation sector by the year 2050. We’ll take a look at how rural areas fit into the broader electrification plan.
  • Feb 1: Laid off tech workers who now have to search for other work could face entirely different workplace cultures in the transition. What does it mean for your identity to go from the tech industry with its fridge freebies, art installations and slickly designed conference rooms, to a more traditional work environment? Meghan McCarty Carino takes a look.
  • Feb 2: We’ll speak with journalist and book author Jacob Silverman with a lookback at the crypto ads in the 2022 Super Bowl and given the crypto crashes and scandals of the past 12 months– where those companies are now.

On Point

  • Jan 30: In 1985 scientists raised the alarm. A group of chemicals known as chlorofluorocarbons, or CFCs were destroying the ozone layer – essential for protecting the planet from harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun. Even though CFCs were widely used in everyday products action was swift. Just two years later the world came together to pass the Montreal Protocol, banning CFCs. And now a UN backed report has confirmed that initiative is working. On Point speaks with those involved in that effort and asks if there are lessons from forty years ago in how we could be tackling climate change now.
  • Feb 2: On Point asks what tech platforms and lawmakers could and should be doing to combat the increasing amount of child sexual abuse material being found on line. One child abuse prosecutor we have spoken with calls it ‘an epidemic’.

BBC World Service

  • Program Change: Because this series contains adult themes and strong language, Love Janessa will NOT broadcast in the usual The Documentary (Wednesday) APM broadcast but will be available to interested stations on the BBC Media Partners site as an 8-part series of half-hour episodes.

    Love Janessa– Behind every catfish, there’s a bait. Who is Janessa Brazil? Stolen images of an adult entertainment star are being used to con victims out of thousands of dollars, breaking hearts in the process. Journalist Hannah Ajala embarks on a quest to find Janessa, in this 8-part true crime series. And who is responsible for catfishing scams?
