American Public Media has named Kimberly Adams host of Marketplace Morning Report.
In April, APM announced that David Brancaccio would move into a new role as special correspondent after 13 years hosting the program.
“David is leaving behind an amazing team that I’m thrilled to join in helping folks start their mornings with a better understanding of how the global economy affects their personal lives,” Adams said in a press release.
“In an era of rapid technological change and economic news that can leave people with whiplash, I’m excited and honored to usher in this new moment for Marketplace and our listeners,” she added.
Adams is Marketplace’s senior Washington correspondent and host and senior editor of the podcast Make Me Smart. She also hosted APM’s Call to Mind program.
“We are thrilled about this next chapter for the Morning Report, and our audience should be too. Kimberly has distinguished herself as a ground-breaking, multiplatform correspondent and host who has built an unwavering connection with our audience,” said Neal Scarbrough, VP and GM of Marketplace, in the release.
Adams moves into the role June 8.
