Kimberly Adams promises clear, accessible economic coverage as new Marketplace Morning Report host

Weekdays, millions tune into American Public Media’s Marketplace. It’s touted as “the most widely consumed business and economic news program in the country — in radio or television, commercial or public broadcasting.”

For 13 years on “Marketplace Morning Report,” David Brancaccio kept listeners informed about the latest economic and business news across the nation and abroad.

Now, he’s handing off hosting duties to the current senior Washington correspondent and the co-host/senior editor of the “Make Me Smart” podcast, Kimberly Adams. She’ll lead the program starting June 8 and is promising to engage the audience with the latest headlines on the economy, society, and our democracy.
