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 show and date on which 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 use the Search box in the upper right corner of the site. Another way to find a story is by using the topic pull-down menus in the box in the upper right column of most pages -- labeled "Find past stories by.... They enable you fo find stories by Place, Topic/Segment -- such as as "commentaries" or "sustainability" -- or by date, or reporter.
4. I heard a song between stories on Marketplace. What was it?
A list of the songs played in a given show appears on the rundown page for that show and on the story pages for that date.
5. Who picks the music for Marketplace?
That would be the director of that day's show.
6. Which radio stations broadcast Marketplace's shows?
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! So much so that we give you a couple of options. You can use our Contact page to e-mail us about the stories you loved, you hated, or which made you think. Or, at the end of most of our stories and commentaries there is a comment box you can use to post your thoughts.
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.

Marketplace Confessional
It's probably too late to do anything about it, but I want my word back. That word is "camp." The story about shopping camp at a Louisville Mall was the last straw. I should have spoken up earlier when band and football practices started to be called camps. Then sending kids to sit inside in front of a computer screen for several hours was called technology camp. But now we have passed the point of no return. I want my word back. Camp to me means outdoors, nature, and burning wood. . . . "
