Marketplace


Marketplace (PM)

Week of February 6

  • Kai talks to Meredith Bagby about her book, The New Guys: The Historic Class of Astronauts that Broke Barriers and Changed the Face of Space Travel.
  • Directors, producers and actors have gotten used to an unappreciated boon from the streaming world: Unlike linear TV, your work lives on a platform well past the last episode’s air date, possibly forever. But recent cost-cutting moves from streaming platforms like HBO Max and Showtime have led entire shows to be “disappeared” from the platform. Marketplace’s Matt Levin reports.

Marketplace Tech

Meghan McCarty Carino hosts all week.

  • Feb 6: We’ll feature a 2022 lookback AND look forward on the state of the companies that advertised during last year’s Super Bowl – among the most high profile being FTX. We’ll bring on Jacob Silverman, book author and journalist for a conversation about companies in the ecosystem, and we’ll get a visceral sense of how much has changed in just a year.
  • Feb 7: A story about how 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?
  • Feb 8: We’ll have Marketplace’s Stephanie Hughes on the show, talking about how school districts are grappling with the rise of Chat GPT as students use the AI tool to write papers, craft quiz answers, and more.

On Point

  • Feb 6: One in five Americans live in multigenerational households — grandparents with grandchildren, adult children with their parents. That’s a remarkable change from a few generations ago. We explore why more and more Americans live in multigenerational housing.
  • Feb 7: The Taliban promised they would honor Afghan women’s rights. Instead, they have banned women from universities, even required covering the faces of female mannequins. We find out what life is like for Afghan women now.
  • Feb 8: Florida governor Ron DeSantis has made changes to public education a cornerstone of his policy agenda. We investigate how legislation is changing classrooms, featuring an in-depth interview with a Florida school superintendent.
