Marketplace Anniversary Reception

Come eat, drink and be merry with some of the cast and crew of Marketplace as public radio’s business program soon celebrates a significant birthday!  2014 marks twenty five years since Marketplace first broke the mold by throwing off the journalistic tradition of dull and ponderous economic and business news.  Marketplace reported not just from Wall Street but about Wall Street.  Marketplace covered not just the numbers, but the narrative behind those numbers and how they affect our daily lives. So what’s next?  Come raise a glass of champagne, enjoy a dessert and find out what’s ahead.
