ABOUT MAKE ME SMART:
"Make Me Smart” is a podcast about the economy, technology and culture hosted by Kimberly Adams and her Marketplace colleagues. In a time when the world is moving faster than ever, this podcast is where we unpack complex topics, together. Because none of us is as smart as all of us.

Before coming to Marketplace, Adams reported on the political, social and economic upheaval in Egypt following the Arab Spring. While reporting in Cairo, she received awards from the National Association of Black Journalists, the Religion Communicators Council, and the Association for Women in Communication. She was also competitively selected for the International Women’s Media Foundation “Great Lakes” Reporting fellowship to Uganda, where she reported on environmental, economic and LGBT issues. “Make Me Smart” is “a podcast to keep up with, even in quarantine,” Vanity Fair says.
