David Brancaccio fell in love with radio as a teenager in Maine reading the news on a local college radio station and his love for broadcast never ended.  

For the last ten years, Brancaccio has hosted the Marketplace Morning Report, the business and personal finance program that airs weekday mornings on public radio stations across the country.  

He’s known for stripping the jargon off business news and bringing economic trends to life, with the stories of real people facing everyday challenges.   

Brancaccio began his business-reporting career at Marketplace as the London bureau chief in 1990 and then hosted the flagship half-hour Marketplace program through the 1990s. He was host and senior editor of public television’s news show NOW on PBS before returning to Marketplace in 2010.

He has earned some of the highest honors in broadcast journalism, including a Peabody, an Emmy, and the Walter Cronkite Award.  

MPR News host Angela Davis talks with David Brancaccio about his journalism career, the economy and his surprising connection to Minnesota.
