Economic Beliefs vs. Reality
Date: Sept. 12, 2024
Time: 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. CT
Location: Virtual
The national economy is a top issue going into the November elections, but campaign statements and news narratives about the health of our economy can differ from regional and personal experiences. Add to that misinformation, disinformation and voter targeting, and it’s become increasingly difficult to parse perception from reality — and to understand the consequences of proposed policies.
Join Marketplace host and Washington correspondent Kimberly Adams and senior reporter Matt Levin for a discussion about what research tells us about our economic beliefs and how those beliefs align with reality. We’ll also discuss disinformation and misinformation in this election cycle — how to spot it, fight it and talk to family members and friends about it.

Party of One: The Economics of Being Single
Date: Sept. 23, 2024
Time: 6:30 p.m.
Location: Holiday Theater – Denver, Colorado
In the United States, almost half of adults are single. And many of them aren’t looking to couple up, either. Even those who have partners are likely to find themselves alone in their later years, especially women. But this demographic reality collides with American culture, as well as current economic policies and conditions — from homeownership and taxes to investment and retirement planning. Kimberly Adams, Marketplace’s senior Washington correspondent and co-host of the “Make Me Smart” podcast, hosts a panel discussion on the economics of being single and how to prepare financially for different stages of life.
