Marketplace fans, it’s time for mourning: David Brancaccio is leaving the show.
I’m not a business junkie, but I’m a huge Marketplace fan. I was thinking the other day that I couldn’t think of another media outlet that was more consistently surprising, engaging, and intelligent. You can learn more in a half hour of Marketplace than you can in two hours of All Things Considered.
It looks like the so-so David Brown will replace Brancaccio. My dream replacement: the brilliant Steve Inskeep. (Mainly because I don’t often get to hear Steve at his main job, host of weekend All Things Considered.)
