A note from our executive producer
Marketplace co-host Wendy Mesley on a shoot in Toronto
The Marketplace gang is getting ready to take a short break during the holidays. We've been busy during the summer and into the fall, researching stories, setting up shoots, travelling and interviewing, and most recently, editing the first two shows of the season - which are almost done. This production team never ceases to amaze me. Each story offers something new, and goes where Marketplace has never gone before.

We also learned Marketplace is getting new show graphics and animation, so our show "opening" will have a different look than it has in the past. This new look is in line with the rest of the CBC News shows, which were all redone in late summer. Different font, slightly different colours. Curious to hear how you like them. After that, starting January 4th, things go into high gear.
