We'll host a national show with Marketplace Correspondent and Host Kimberly Adams and Michelle Singletary, personal finance columnist for The Washington Post. Kimberly is based in D.C. at the heart of the political decision making around COVID-19, and can discuss the resources at people’s disposal and the impacts on local economies. Alongside Kimberly, Michelle can tackle questions about how to pay your student loans, make your mortgage payments and manage your money in a time like this.
