.@emily_kinslow is superstar. She was instrumental for the Planet Money Record Label — she's the CEO, CFO, and CTO of the label. She was a huge part of the success for our live event. She made stray ideas come true. 💔 for our team. some lucky place will get to work w/ her next.
@emily_kinslow launched several ambitious series for @planetmoney and The Indicator. She tackles whatever it takes to help your wild ideas come to fruition. Need to get some vinyls pressed for your fledgling record company? She figured that out, and did it all with good humor.

Earnest Jackson, the lead singer of the Inflation song, makes a sixth of a cent for each stream. The song recently hit 1 million listens on Spotify. You do the math.
(Just kidding, we do it all for you, and more.)

The Marketplace Production Team doesn't *just make everything you hear on Marketplace sound better...they actually make much of what you hear on our shows. #WeMakeMarketplace
We’ve heard from a lot of listeners who want to know how they can support us. That means a lot!
Sharing our tweets always helps. You can also contact APM, but please do so respectfully — the people reading your emails are not the ones fighting our effort. americanpublicmedia.org/cont…

As we head into day 1 of our NLRB hearing, we want to share some more love for our Media Production team. #WeMakeMarketplace

Our allotted time for negotiation is running out. Since APMG is still trying to exclude our Media Production colleagues from our union, we’re headed to a hearing with the NLRB tomorrow.
