Josh Hersh of Columbia Journalism Review interviewed Kai Ryssdal, host of “Marketplace,” a leading daily radio show and podcast about the economy, produced by American Public Media, since 2005.

Hersh writes, “He delivers the news—from the bitter latest on our 401(k)s to unexpected interviews about the modern-day resurgence of train robberies—with an affable, direct tone.

“And when he has something he wants listeners to know—as he did all this week, while the policies of the Trump administration sent the stock market, and the global economy, into a tailspin—he’ll just come right out and say it.

“This week on The Kicker, Ryssdal explains what, exactly, just happened with the economy, and why he feels it’s so important for Marketplace to call it like they see it.”
