APM Weekly July 8 – 12, 2024

Marketplace (PM)

  • College alumni magazines have long been a standby of print journalism. Their cheerful, picture-filled pages are meant to remind readers of what the old campus looks like … what old classmates are up to … and provide a poke to maybe give some money to keep it all going. But during the pandemic, many colleges cut costs by taking their magazines entirely online….at least, for a little bit. Marketplace’s Stephanie Hughes looks at where they are now.

Marketplace Morning Report

  • Tuesday July 9: Marketplace’s David Brancaccio will speak with Charlotte Burrows, Chair of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, about newly implemented guidelines from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission for compliance with the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act.

Marketplace Tech

  • Monday July 8: Marketplace’s Lily Jamali speaks with AP reporter Sarah Parvini on negotiations between Hollywood voice actors and studios/companies looking to use AI.
  • Wednesday July 10: Lily Jamali speaks with Clayton Dalton, emergency physician and writer, about how medical technology ECMO is redefining death.

On Point

  • Monday, July 8: Dr. Anthony Fauci became one of the most recognized public faces of the COVID19 crisis as public health officials struggled to contain the pandemic amid political polarization. His advice, offered from a White House podium, led to death threats. Dr. Fauci speaks with Meghna about the lessons learned from that experience and his long career in public health.
  • Tuesday, July 9: There are many actors and perspectives involved behind the number of migrants crossing the southern U.S. border. One part of the story that is rarely, if ever, heard is that of the smugglers bringing those migrants up to the border. Jason De Leon is a professor of Anthropology at UCLA, where he studies clandestine migration. For his book, Soldiers and Kings: Survival and Hope in the World of Human Smuggling De Leon embedded with smugglers in Honduras working to bring migrants up to the Mexico/US border. He joins Meghna for a conversation that promises to be both “enlightening and frightening”.
  • Friday, July 12: Among the consequential decisions the Supreme Court issued at the end of its last term was one upending a 1984 ruling setting in place the Chevron deference which empowered federal agencies to interpret legislation and impose regulations on businesses to protect the environment, public health, workplace safety, among other national interests. The Supreme Court’s ruling largely hands that power to the courts. What will the consequences of that decision be for the regulations that protect so many Americans?

APM Presents special of the week

Folk Classics Across the Globe from YourClassical

Air Window: Now – September 30, 2024

In this program, we explore classical pieces inspired by folk music from composers and cultures that have often existed on the fringes of the classical canon. You’ll hear three world premieres of folk music recorded live in the Maud Moon Weyerhaeuser Studio at Minnesota Public Radio’s headquarters in St. Paul. The pieces have been recorded by five guest musicians from those cultures who will tell us more about the music in the program.
