Marketplace (PM)
- Our new summer self-narrated series debuts—My Analog life—stories from all over the country about how you…. used to do your job.
- It’s like a rigged game of Monopoly. Urban Cipher, a board game created by Afrofuturist and research scientist Lawrence Brown, aims to let players experience firsthand the legacy of redlining. Players who start out in red and yellow neighborhoods (reflecting the “riskier” labels imposed by the federal government in its racist 1930s residential security maps) have a harder time moving around the board and acquiring property than those who start in blue and green neighborhoods (those considered “safer” for investment). Marketplace’s Amy Scott spends a morning with Dr. Brown and a group of Baltimore educators as they play the game.
- July 2: St. Mary’s County, Maryland: Earlier this year, Marketplace looked at the process of organic certification with a visit to the Raaka chocolate factory. Raaka noted that certified organic ingredients generally cost more, which drives up their prices. Marketplace’s Stephanie Hughes takes the next step and visits an organic farm to find out what costs they have that a non-organic farm doesn’t and how that affects final prices.
Marketplace Morning Report
Monday July 1: With only three days to go before the UK’s general election, one of the big election issues is the price of homes. The two main political parties – Labour and the Conservatives – are trying to sell voters on their solutions for Britain’s housing problems. But are these party pledges reassuring people on home affordability? The BBC’s Leanna Byrne reports.
Marketplace Tech
Monday July 1: Is the tech sector truly “back” in San Francisco? What is the city doing to encourage people to return? How have views of tech changed over the last decade? Marketplace’s Lily Jamali is joined by Heather Knight, SF bureau chief of The New York Times, on the streets of SF to discuss the state of the city, and where tech fits in.
Wednesday July 3: On the drive from Silicon Valley to San Francisco, there’s a stretch of the 101 Freeway that is crowded with billboards. Nearly all of them are advertising tech companies, from the old guard to newer players. These billboards tell the story of the state of the industry – who’s in and who’s out, what’s hot and what’s not. Marketplace’s Lily Jamali talks to Shernaz Daver, Operating Partner and CMO at Khosla Ventures about what these billboards say about the state of the tech industry.
On Point
- Monday, July 1: The Port of Baltimore is back in business – 78 days after the Francis Scott Key Bridge was struck by a massive container ship, plunging it into the Patapsco River and blocking the river’s shipping lanes. We find out what it took to re-open one of the nation’s busiest ports in a matter of weeks.
- Tuesday, July 2: Sports have brought people together for generations … but could that be changing? That’s the question Washington Post sports columnist Jerry Brewer is asking. How the promise of sports as a national unifier has buckled under the pressures of grievance and division.
- Wednesday, July 3: There has been a surge in ransomware attacks on healthcare providers, when Change Healthcare acknowledged that it paid $22 million to hackers. We explore why the US healthcare system is especially vulnerable to cyberattacks, what’s at risk, and what it would take to fix it.
- Thursday, July 4: State and federal government is so focused on policymaking and not implementation that it often fails to provide the services its laws intend. Today we revisit Meghna’s conversation with author Jennifer Pahlka about her book, “Recoding America,” in which she outlines why the government doesn’t work and how to fix it. (Rebroadcast)
- Friday, July 5: The world of fine art is full of multimillion dollar one-of-a-kinds and breathtaking masterpieces. But it’s also rife with fraudsters and forgers. What happens when fakes are worth a fortune…and what that says about how we value art. (Rebroadcast)
