Marketplace (PM)

Week of February 13

Next week’s shows will be hosted by Meghan McCarty-Carino, Kimberly Adams and Amy Scott.

  • Feb 13: As the anniversary to the start of the war in Ukraine approaches, we’ll look at how Ukraine has deployed technology throughout the war this past year, featuring a conversation with Steven Feldstein, senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in the Democracy, Conflict, and Governance Program.
  • Feb 14: Kimberly will speak with Christie Lindor, a consultant to Fortune 100’s in Bosto about how tech layoffs have hit recruiting and DEI departments particularly hard. It’s an old story that when money gets tight companies pull back on “discretionary” programs that aren’t “mission critical.” There’s also the issue of many of these tech companies calling people back to HQ to some extent, when the spread of tech jobs across the country was shown to be important to more diverse recruiting.
  • Feb 17: Amy Scott speaks with Heather Vogell, reporter at ProPublica, to discuss the controversy over tech company RealPage’s rent algorithm that was accused of artificially boosting rent prices to exorbitant levels, with a look at what’s happened since Vogell and ProPublica released the initial investigation.

On Point

  • Feb 13: The federal government asked the seven states that depend on the Colorado River for water to come up with a plan to reduce their water use by January 31st. All came to an agreement, except California, the largest user. That has increased the possibility of the government stepping in and imposing a plan that none of them want. We speak with negotiators and experts to find out what options the West has, as the Colorado River runs dry.
  • Feb 15: The Biden administration has quietly negotiated a deal with the Netherlands and Japan to restrict exports of chip-making machinery to China. It’s aimed at limiting China’s military developments by cutting access to semiconductors. We look at what’s at stake for China and the US.
  • Feb 16: 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 online. One child abuse prosecutor we have spoken with calls it ‘an epidemic’. (Postponed from 2/2)
