About Marketplace Money

Cash, dough, loot, moolah, bread, bank, bucks. Whatever you call it, money is important to us. Very important. For better or for worse, it's a factor in every major decision we make — marriage/divorce; renting/buying; birth/adoption; sickness/health; education/work; vacation/retirement.
What else is personal finance but a fancy term for your money? How you make it. Make more of it. How and where you spend it. Whether you save it. Why you love it. Hate it. Argue about it with your spouse or kids or parents. Control it. Give it away. Or understand it. Really understand it.
That's where the new Marketplace Money from Marketplace Productions comes in. We'll add Marketplace's style, accessible delivery and talented reporters and editors. We'll bring Marketplace's expertise in business and economics coverage home to listeners on the weekend by looking at the way the week's major national and international stories will hit your wallet. We'll maintain Marketplace Money's legacy of smart topics, expert advice, and current information. The new Marketplace Money will still help you figure out how to pay for your kid's college; explain what the mutual fund scandals mean to you; and help you decide whether to buy or lease a car. But we'll also try to plumb more elusive subjects — the myriad ways money affects us, not just financially but emotionally.
We won't nag. We won't make you feel guilty. We will offer essential, current, and credible information in a way that's compelling, conversational and accessible. And we'll have fun. It's money, after all, that lets us snorkel in the Cayman Islands, drink a good bottle of wine, or spoil the ones we love.
The result? A personal finance program that takes an intelligent, interesting and informed look at the effect money has on us and, in turn, what affects our money. And in the process, educates listeners about money to help them take control of their financial lives.
