We’re so used to it by now — people sharing every little detail of their lives online. And when it comes to content about parenting, it’s basically a whole industry. You can find “momfluencers” and family channels for any style of parenting or worldview you can think of, to the point that there’s now a generation of kids who have grown up in the social media eye. And, as you might imagine. not all of them are thrilled about it. Marketplace’s Meghan McCarty Carino spoke to Fortesa Latifi, features reporter for Teen Vogue, who recently dove into this culture and its effects on the children involved.

First to leave was Sheryl Sandberg, the longtime chief operating officer at Facebook and Meta known for her bestselling book about women in leadership “Lean In.” Last summer, she stepped down after 14 years. Then, last month, Susan Wojcicki, the only woman CEO in Big Tech, announced her departure from YouTube, a role she’d served in for nine years after joining Google in its earliest days. They’ve left a void of visible women at the pinnacle of the tech world. It’s a trend columnist Beth Kowitt recently wrote about for Bloomberg News. And she tells Marketplace’s Meghan McCarty Carino the way women leaders in tech are often described gives us a clue about what they face as they rise to the top.

In times of financial turbulence, banks head to the Federal Reserve’s (virtual) discount window for short-term emergency loans. The week after SVB failed, U.S. banks borrowed over $150 billion from the central bank. One listener called in to ask: Why didn't SVB do the same? We'll get into SVB's fruitless attempt to secure rescue funds and answer more of your questions about faux job openings and what really counts as consumer spending. Plus, what should you look for in a personal financial adviser? Here’s everything we talked about today: “What Is the Fed Discount Window and Why Are Banks Using It So Much?” from The Washington Post “How the Last-Ditch Effort to Save Silicon Valley Bank Failed” from The Wall Street Journal “Job Listings Abound, but Many Are Fake” from The Wall Street Journal “Survey: Job Seekers Beware of Ghost Jobs” from Clarify Capital “The Fed monitors job openings for inflation decisions.

Earlier this month, OpenAI released its newest and most powerful chatbot, GPT-4, along with a technical paper summarizing the testing the company did to ensure its product is safe. The testing involved asking the chatbot how to build weapons of mass destruction or to engage in antisemitic attacks. In the cybersecurity world, this testing process is known as red teaming. In it, experts look for vulnerabilities, security gaps and anything that could go wrong before the product launches. Marketplace’s Meghan McCarty Carino spoke to Aviv Ovadya, a researcher at Harvard University’s Berkman Klein Center who was on the red team for GPT-4. He said this kind of testing needs to go further.

Today, women in the United States are paid 22% less than men on average. Twenty years ago, that number looked about the same, despite women's many advancements in education and the workforce. The gender pay gap is stark, stubborn and often misunderstood in its intricacies. On the show today, Elise Gould, senior economist at the Economic Policy Institute, unpacks why the gender pay gap hasn't really budged in the last two decades, what people get wrong about it and what needs to change to finally close it. In the News Fix: One Republican lawmaker is stalling military promotions to keep service members from getting better access to abortion care. His colleagues are not pleased. And, the Senate has started hearings on the failures of SVB and Signature Bank. We’ll discuss the mind-blowing speed of the banks’ meltdowns and the group chat behind it all. Later, one listener tells us about a restaurant subscription they love. And in the spirit of cherry blossom season, this week's answer to the Make Me Smart question comes from Diana Parsell, author of “Eliza Scidmore: The Trailblazing Journalist Behind Washington's Cherry Trees.” Here’s everything we talked about today: It’s Equal Pay Day. The salary gap between men and women isn’t shrinking. from NPR “‘Women's work’ and the gender pay gap: How discrimination, societal norms, and other forces affect women's occupational choices—and their pay” from the Economic Policy Institute “As Women Take Over a Male-Dominated Field, the Pay Drops” from The New York Times “Gender pay gap figures: debunking the myths” from The Guardian “Why do some people get paid more than others?” from Marketplace’s “Million Bazillion” “The Republican senator who is stifling the Pentagon over abortion” from Punchbowl News “Defense chief slams Tuberville's hold on Pentagon nominees over abortion policy” from The Hill “‘It’s a powerful effect': Austin fires back at GOP senator’s blockade of military promotions” from Politico “US Officials Signal New Rules for Banks After SVB, Signature Failures” from Bloomberg “Senate holds its first hearing into SVB and Signature Bank failures” from NBC News The FTC wants to make it easy to cancel subscriptions from The Washington Post Diana Parsell's “Eliza Scidmore: The Trailblazing Journalist Behind Washington’s Cherry Trees” What have you been wrong about lately?

Digital tools like virtual therapy and meditation apps have made mental health care more accessible. But they’ve made data about the people using them more accessible too. That’s what Joanne Kim found while conducting research as an undergraduate student at Duke University. Kim identified 11 data broker firms willing and able to sell highly sensitive mental health data to her. Marketplace’s Meghan McCarty Carino spoke with Justin Sherman, a senior fellow at Duke’s Sanford School of Public Policy who helped oversee the study, about how this data ends up on the market.

The artificial intelligence wars are in full swing, with companies like Microsoft and Google battling it out. Now Mozilla, the developer of the Firefox browser, is entering the fray. Last week, the company announced a new startup focused on developing what it calls “trustworthy” and independent AI, built on open-source software that’s free to the public. As with its other products, which are more focused on transparency and privacy, Mozilla aims to distinguish itself in a crowded AI field as a brand committed to the public interest. Marketplace’s Meghan McCarty Carino spoke to Imo Udom, senior vice president of innovation ecosystems at Mozilla, to learn more.

The Federal Trade Commission is tasked with protecting U.S. consumers from unfair business practices, and in recent years it has set its sights on regulating Big Tech. The new Office of Technology will be at the forefront of such efforts. Marketplace’s Meghan McCarty Carino spoke with Stephanie Nguyen, the FTC’s chief technology officer, who will also be leading the new office. She says the office’s work will be critical when you consider how tech has seeped into every corner of the economy.

The COVID-19 pandemic forced a lot of us to stay at home without the chance to socialize in person. But technology allowed us to stay in touch. Social media platforms helped connect us with the outside world — there was Zoom and Houseparty, and remember Clubhouse? But many Americans still struggle with loneliness, even now as life has somewhat returned to normal. Younger Americans are twice as likely to feel lonely than seniors, according to research from Cigna. Marketplace’s Lily Jamali spoke with Kimberly Adams, senior correspondent at Marketplace and host of American Public Media's series “Call to Mind.” In a recent episode of that show, she explored what role technology plays in people’s lives when they’re struggling with loneliness. And Adams says loneliness is something researchers have been looking into for decades, way before the pandemic.

Following the failures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen told Congress the United States banking system is healthy — for now — but a debt limit breach would throw it back into chaos. One listener asked if the recent banking hubbub might get Congress to finally take action on the debt ceiling. We'll get into it and answer more of your questions about what makes credit unions different from banks and why it's so hard to turn office buildings into apartments. And, what's in a Kai Ryssdal sandwich? Here’s everything we talked about today: “Yellen: Debt limit breach would be ‘devastating’ for banks” from Roll Call “U.S. Treasury says record FDIC cash draw won’t affect debt ceiling ‘X-date'” from Reuters “U.S. government assures on bank deposits, but debt ceiling still looms” from Axios “Credit Unions vs. Banks: Which One Is the Best for You?” from Investopedia “Failed bank fallout could open doors for credit unions. Here’s what to know” from AZ Central “Can empty office space help solve the housing shortage?” from Marketplace “So You Want to Turn an Office Building Into a Home?” from The New York Times “Churches convert to rentals as young people leave the flock” from Marketplace “Why Office-to-Apartment Conversions are Likely a Fringe Trend at Best” from Moody’s Analytics Wax Paper sandwich shop’s website Got a question for the hosts?

What makes a good podcast host? That's a question many of us ask! What gives a Podcast its "hostiness" and makes you want to come back for more again and again?“There's almost nothing about hosting and really by implication producing and that, that quality – I did not coin the term 'hostiness,' that comes from I believe PRX many years ago – but it's, it's this ineffable quality that makes us go 'oh, I love listening to Ira Glass,' or Jad Abumrad of Radio Lab, or Anna Sale, or Brené Brown, or whoever we connect with, and different people obviously connect with different hosts. But what is that makes us connect?”-- Elaine Appleton GrantMy next guest has actually been on this podcast before. She's an award-winning journalist, audio producer, and on-air talent who worked for three NPR affiliates before founding Podcast Allies, LLC in 2019. She hosts the podcast Sound Judgment, a master study in great podcast hosting, and I'm certainly honored to have her here. In fact, you might have heard her review of this podcast read out on a recent show. Her show features today's best hosts, and producers, including Glynn Washington, host of Snap Judgment, John Barth, founding producer of Marketplace, Ann Bogel of What Should I Read Next, and Stephanie Wittels Wachs of Last Day. Her production company, Podcast Allies, develops narrative and conversation podcasts for social impact organizations, such as the Environmental Defense Fund and the American Academy of Pediatrics, so her background in audio is pretty extensive.Her name is Elaine Appleton Grant, and I'm looking forward to getting her take on what she feels makes a good podcast and a great host. With all the interesting people she's interviewed, she's bound to have a very informed opinion.As always, if you have questions for my guest, you're welcome to reach out through the links in the show notes. If you have questions for me, visit www.audiobrandingpodcast.com where you'll find a lot of ways to get in touch. Plus, subscribing to the newsletter will let you know when the new podcasts are available. And if you're getting some value from listening, feel free to spread that around and share it with a friend, along with leaving an honest review. Both those things really help – and I'd love to feature your review on future podcasts. You can leave one either in written or in voice format from the podcast's main page. I would so appreciate that. The Voice of GodAs we start the episode off, the discussion turns straight to podcasting, its storytelling strengths, and the powerful role it plays in audio branding. We talk about her work with John Barth, developer of the famous Moth Radio Hour, and Elaine and I discuss audio trends in everything from television commercials to movie trailers, and how modern audiences have outgrown the classic "voice of God" Hollywood voice-overs. As Elaine puts it, "it's like the end of the newscaster voice." Ways to Get AttentionOur conversation continues with a look at how multi-tasking and our always-on-the-go lifestyle have changed the tone and purpose of advertising. "We're all trying to find ways to get attention," she says. "There are effective ways, there are good ways, there are ways with integrity, and there are ways that you and I might argue are less so." We talk about how this very podcast got its start and the audio trends, both good and not-so-good, that helped inspire its focus on sonic branding. An Ineffable QualityElaine tells us about the start of her podcast Sound Judgment and her search for the true meaning of “hostiness,” a word she borrowed from Jay Bear to describe that perfect chemistry with a host that brings the...

Here’s what to know” from AZ Central “Can empty office space help solve the housing shortage?” from Marketplace “So You Want to Turn an Office Building Into a Home?” from The New York Times “Churches convert to rentals as young people leave the flock” from Marketplace “Why Office-to-Apartment Conversions are Likely a Fringe Trend at Best” from Moody’s Analytics Wax Paper sandwich shop’s website Got a question for the hosts?

Every week it seems the world is stunned by another advance in artificial intelligence, including text-to-image generators like DALL-E and the latest chatbot, GPT-4. What makes these tools impressive is the enormous amount of data they’re trained on, specifically the millions of images and words on the internet. But the process of machine learning relies on a lot of human data labelers. Marketplace’s Meghan McCarty Carino spoke to Sarah Roberts, a professor of information studies and director of the Center for Critical Internet Inquiry at UCLA, about how this work is often overlooked.

We had a great question during one of our Manuscript Academy Welcome Tours: How do you personalize a query if you don't know the date of an agent's #MSWL? Is it still relevant? Will you look silly for bringing up something older? Or are they still relevant for years? Here's how to navigate without a date stamp--and still look well-researched, smart, and like the kind of writer an agent would love to work with.

Almost every service we use on the internet is basically a platform for advertising, especially search engines. Advertisers pay to get their sites at the top of search results, have their businesses show up on digital maps or populate their products at the top of shopping carousel pages. The search engine companies are not only paid, but get data about what users want, which they can then turn around and use to sell more advertising. But how does all this work if, as chat-based artificial intelligence permeates web search, the results become less like a big list and more like a one-on-one conversation? That’s where it looks like Microsoft and Google are headed with their Bing and Bard chatbots. Marketplace’s Meghan McCarty Carino spoke with Garrett Johnson, assistant professor of marketing at Boston University, about how this new approach could really shake up the online ad space.

Are you keeping up with those other two banks that both start with an “S” and failed the same week as Silicon Valley Bank? Silvergate Bank announced March 8 that it was shutting down of its own accord and regulators took over Signature Bank on Sunday. All three of these institutions were known for catering to a specific clientele. For SVB, it was tech startups. For Silvergate and Signature, it was cryptocurrency companies. So what does the collapse of two of the crypto-friendliest banks mean for that industry? Marketplace’s Meghan McCarty Carino talked about it with Laura Shin, a crypto journalist and host of the “Unchained” podcast.

This week's Whaddya Wanna Know Wednesday comes with a bonus News Fix! We'll get into the ripple effects of the Silicon Valley Bank collapse on the U.S. Treasury debt market and on international banks like Credit Suisse. Then, we'll answer your questions about the FDIC insurance limit and the “moral hazard” risk involved in covering all SVB deposits. Here’s everything we talked about today: “Market Stress Snarls Trading in U.S. Treasurys” from The Wall Street Journal “Bank Chaos Clouds Outlook for Markets” from The Wall Street Journal “Swiss Regulators Offer Financial Lifeline to Credit Suisse” from The Wall Street Journal “The FDIC was created exactly for this kind of crisis. Here’s the history” from NPR “Regional banks rush to reassure customers after SVB failure” from Marketplace History and Timeline of Changes to FDIC Coverage Limits from American Deposits “Who’s responsible for paying the failed banks' depositors?” from Marketplace “Experts flag moral hazard risk as U.S. intervenes in SVB crisis” from Reuters “Will the FDIC’s move to cover uninsured deposits set a risky precedent?” from NPR Our March fundraiser ends Friday.
