Amy Scott is the host of “How We Survive,” Marketplace's climate solutions podcast, and a senior correspondent covering housing, climate and the economy. She is also a frequent guest host of Marketplace programs.
Since 2001, Amy has held many roles at Marketplace and covered many beats, from the culture of Wall Street to education and housing. Her reporting has taken her to every region of the country as well as Egypt, Dubai and Germany. Her 2015 documentary film, “Oyler,” about a Cincinnati public school fighting to break the cycle of poverty in its traditionally urban Appalachian neighborhood, has screened at film festivals internationally and was broadcast on public television in 2016. She's currently at work on a film about a carpenter's mission to transform an abandoned block in west Baltimore into a community of Black women homeowners.
Amy has won several awards for her reporting, including a SABEW Best in Business podcast award in 2023, Gracie awards for outstanding radio series in 2013 and 2014 and an Edward R. Murrow Award for investigative reporting in 2012. Before joining Marketplace, Amy worked as a reporter in Dillingham, Alaska, home to the world’s largest wild sockeye salmon run. These days she's based in Baltimore.
