I’ve Always Wondered is a Marketplace series that answers your questions about the world we live in, why the economy works the way it does, and why it all matters. Because if you’re like us, you’ve got a lot of questions about the small, simple, brilliant and ubiquitous things in the world of business. We’re here to answer them for you, in our most popular series that’s generated by you – our audience.
Money can’t buy you happiness, but it can buy a lot of important stuff. Like a car (hello, freedom!), college and travel. Plus, all the necessities, like food, rent and clothes. But you can’t do any of that if you don’t know the basics about personal finance. That’s where we come in. “Financially Inclined” is a show about all the money lessons we wish we learned earlier — the ones that can help us live life on our own terms. Each episode, financial literacy advocate Yanely Espinal talks with some really smart people — experts, influencers and high school students. Together, we break down important money lessons. Consider us your one-stop-shop for financial confidence. This show is created by Marketplace, in collaboration with Next Gen Personal Finance.
Climate change is dire, but it does not have to be world-ending. The solutions are out there, but they can feel removed from our day-to-day lives. “How We Survive’s” “Burning Questions” video series explores the changes we can make, both small and systemic, to help the climate crisis: Does what you wear really matter? What about the food in your fridge? Should climate activists move beyond peaceful protest? Is AI the silver bullet we’ve all been waiting for? Join us as we continue our hunt for solutions.
These videos are here to help you better understand the economy and why it's important.
