@kimberlyadams.bsky.social I just declined facial recognition through TSA. Thank you for the recommendation! I had always been too intimidated and thought I would cause a scene. It was easy and speedy! Going to do this every time moving forward! #makemesmart

@marketplaceapm I get that it’s summer, so this may not be a fair assessment, but I’m giving #makemesmart through the end of the month to find its new vibe. It hasn’t yet. I hope you’ll be iterating to get the show back on track after Kai’s departure. I miss the two strong takes. This is why […]

@kimberlyadams.bsky.social and @kairyssdal.bsky.social may not be doing #MakeMeSmart together anymore, but sometimes, just sometimes, they hit "send" on the socials at exactly the same moment and I can pretend.

What is their goal here? Let the bottom fallout and the 1% can buy things up on the cheap? I don’t understand how (I didn’t understand before so maybe I cannot) the GOP expects to be elected after damaging the federal government so purposefully. #MakeMeSmart

Listened to @kairyssdal.bsky.social's last #MakeMeSmart episode (as main host). Bittersweet. I've listened since it's inception with him & @mollywood.co! I'm excited to see the new iteration with @kimberlyadams.bsky.social & her new co-host!

Props to @kimberlyadams.bsky.social on #MakeMeSmart yesterday. Your make me smile was spot on. @booker.senate.gov overtaking a record held by a member of Congress arguing against the rights of African Americans is one of the few things that have made me smile recently too.

The problem with running the government like a business - Marketplace And, where the government really can learn from the private sector.

Very insightful discussion on why running a government like a business does not necessarily work. In this pod from Make Me Smart @kimberlyadams.bsky.social and Samantha Fields take a deep dive with Philip Joyce.

@kimberlyadams.bsky.social I listened to the Friday episode of #MakeMeSmart and both you & @kairyssdal.bsky.social evoked my spirit animals with your commentary. You the numbers person and Kai the grouchy one 😂.
I just had to say that I ❤️ the show!

@kimberlyadams.bsky.social @kairyssdal.bsky.social I just listened to yesterday’s #MakeMeSmart and had thoughts, as one does.

On “low information voters,” I tend to think of them as “high propaganda voters” instead because they’re getting a ton of information; it’s just not real information.

Wow! A great episode of #MakeMeSmart by @novasafo.bsky.social & @kairyssdal.bsky.social. Listening to Marketplace for years and didn't know Nova's history.

It was so valuable to hear their protective of the damage this admin has done to the US standing in the world pertaining to Zalinsky's visit.

@kairyssdal.bsky.social @marketplace.org I was wondering if it was time to do a refresher on #Marketplace or #MakeMeSmart or the #MarketplaceMorningReport about the various contributing elements / pathways to #Stagflation ?

I would LOVE a #MakeMeSmart deep dive on this. There’s a lot of chatter on Bsky that as the minority party Dems can do a lot more. I wonder how true that is. I know it’s not exactly Econ stuff, but I trust you all more than most!

Should we be worried about bird flu? - Marketplace One epidemiologist said chaos at health agencies has left scientists "flying in the dark."

This entire pod is very informative but at 16:10, the comments about federal workers and moving functions out of the Gov to the private sector are 100% on point. The private sector is rarely a cheaper option for Gov functions.

It’s important to look at what the numbers ARE and not make the numbers fit the story you want to tell

A campus sign said, ‘Tell us something good.’ Students delivered. “I woke up on my first alarm,” said one student in the viral video. “I just pet a dog,” said another.

Thanks, @kairyssdal.bsky.social and @kimberlyadams.bsky.social and @marketplace.org for bringing this to my attention. #MakeMeSmart #oneGoodThing

I’m a fan of the pod. One time they answered a question I had about carbon capture tech on the show. @marketplace.org has been one of my lifelines for high-quality journalism since 2008. #makemesmart #wonksforever
