On today’s show, we’re digging into the mailbag to hear our listeners’ thoughts on the economy in 2025. Spoiler: tariffs came up a lot. And, we’ll hear from some of the reporters who helped us make sense of the news this year about what they’ll be keeping an eye on in 2026. Plus, we’ll celebrate a win!
Here’s everything we talked about today:
"Trump shook up global trade this year; some uncertainty may persist in 2026" from Reuters
"Trump tests his 'affordability' message in a midterm battleground district" from NBC News
"This K-shaped economy is reliant on high-income spenders" from Marketplace
"Jerome Powell’s era of consensus at the Fed is over" from CNN Business
"Missouri House advances proposal that could curtail ballot initiatives passing" from STLPR
We love hearing from you. Leave us a voicemail at 508-U-B-SMART or email makemesmart@marketplace.org.
