Listen to the show

From Online to on Your Wall

Got some blank walls in need of a little color? Real Simple's Lesley Alderman gives Kai a tour of the best places to buy art online.

When you’re finally ready to retire that Van Gogh Sunflowers poster, you may want to consider upgrading to something a bit more distinctive, like an original painting, print, or photograph. Don’t worry: You don’t have to be a trust-fund baby or a boho hipster to navigate the world of fine art. A number of websites make it easy, affordable, and low-risk, since you can usually return anything you don’t like.
-- Margot Mifflin, Real Simple magazine (Ellen Silverman)

Marketplace Confessional

"Instead of hyping the "Mad Men" premiere on Sunday, why doesn't Marketplace engage the criticism that this show glamorizes smoking? How can the media give a pass when, no less than big tobacco advertising over the decades, the show supports an addiction that kills nearly a half-million per year, with localities, states, and the federal government picking up the health cost tab long after this show is off the air? Where is the critical coverage that media ethics might suggest should accompany the fawning coverage?"
