Program Overview
Each week on Marketplace Money, host Tess Vigeland looks at the week's major national and international stories that will impact the average listener's wallet. Now produced by the Marketplace production team, Vigeland expands on Marketplace Money's legacy of smart topics, expert advice, and current information. During the hour-long program, Vigeland and her guests help listeners map out the course to financial well-being, offering advice on topics like how to pay for college and whether to buy or lease a car as well as the individual impact of national stories like the mutual fund scandal. Host and Staff Bios
Tess Vigeland, Host
A graduate of the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill., Vigeland is a familiar voice to Marketplace and Marketplace Money listeners. She is a longtime public radio veteran, both as a reporter and host. Vigeland served as host of Marketplace Morning Report for three and a half years and as substitute host on Marketplace. Prior to joining the team at Marketplace, Vigeland reported and anchored for Oregon Public Broadcasting radio and television in Portland and at WBUR radio in Boston. She has covered numerous national and international stories, including the Northern Ireland peace talks in Belfast, the New England mob trials and the separate but tandem scandals around former U.S. Senator Bob Packwood and figure skater Tonya Harding. Vigeland has earned numerous awards in her reporting career, including five Associated Press awards and three from the Society of Professional Journalists. For her coverage of the Packwood scandal, she received a Corporation for Public Broadcasting Silver Award.
Chris Farrell, Economics Editor
Chris brings more than 25 years of experience in economics and personal finance journalism to Sound Money, now Marketplace Money. In addition to his central role on the show, he serves as the personal finance expert on Marketplace Morning Report. He's also contributing editor at Business Week magazine. He hosts public television's personal finance program Right on the Money and is the author of the show's companion book Right on the Money: Taking Control of Your Personal Finances. Chris' newest book, Deflation: What Happens When Prices Fall, was just published by HarperBusiness. He's also a journalist with American RadioWorks and a graduate of Stanford and The London School of Economics.
