1. Why can't I hear the audio streams?

Our streaming audio requires that you have Real Media's RealPlayer installed on your computer. You can download a free version of the RealPlayer for PC or Mac at www.real.com. or download the MP3 of the entire show on the rundown or story pages for that show.

2. Does Marketplace have a podcast?

We offer free podcasts for all Marketplace programs. Learn more.

3. I heard a story recently but I can't find it on your site. Where is it?

It's here! If you know the date a story aired, you can find it using our archive pages. If you don't know the date a story aired, your best bet is to search for it using the Search box in the upper right corner of the site. Another way to find a story is by using our site's "Browse By" menus, which allow you to find stories by topic (e.g. "Commentary" or "Sustainability"), segment, reporter, or date.

4. I heard a song between stories on Marketplace. What was it?

A list of all of the songs played in a given show appears on the rundown and story pages for that date.

5. Who picks the music for Marketplace?

That would be the director of that day's show.

6. What radio stations broadcast Marketplace?

Click to find the current lists of radio stations where you can hear Marketplace, the Marketplace Morning Report and Marketplace Money.

7. I heard a story that I really agree/disagree with. How can I send you my opinion?

We want to hear from you! Please use our comment form to tell us about the stories you loved, stories you hated, or stories that made you think.

8. How can I submit a commentary to Marketplace?

You can send your piece to commentary@marketplace.org. Pieces should be no more than 350 words in length, have a clear economic or business theme or angle, and should be written in a conversational style. Please allow 3-4 weeks for a response.

9. I hear Marketplace on my NPR station. Can you get a message to Sylvia Poggioli for me?

While Marketplace is broadcast on NPR stations, we are produced in Los Angeles and syndicated nationwide by American Public Media, which is separate from National Public Radio. So we won't be much help in reaching Ms. Poggioli... or any other NPR correspondents.

10. What is American Public Media?

American Public Media is one of the nation's premier public radio producers, producing the Marketplace shows, American Radio Works, The Splendid Table, A Prairie Home Companion, Weekend America, and many other programs for public radio.
