Marketplace, a daily half-hour program
about business and finance provides a fresh, new way of reporting
business and finance subjects. Putting a human face on the
global economy, the program illuminates the ways that international
business and finance relate to your daily life. Hosted by
Kai Ryssdal, Marketplace draws on an international group
of contributing reporters, producers, and commentators. In
addition to its 10 U.S.-based news bureaus, Marketplace has
international bureaus in London and Tokyo. |
