Marketplace All-in-One - Steve Burns beyond “Blue’s Clues”

Steve Burns didn’t set out to become a children’s TV icon. He moved to New York with only a duffle bag full of clothes, $300 in his pocket, and a dream to become an actor. When Steve got hired to host “Blue’s Clues” from 1996 to 2002, he found himself disoriented by fame and uncertain of his career trajectory. Reema talks with Steve about finding meaning outside of work, feeling like an imposter in a role he never expected, and how he redefined his money values … when he escaped to the forest. 


Have you ever struggled with imposter syndrome in a new job? We want to hear about it, so give us a call at 347-RING-TIU or send us an email at uncomfortable@marketplace.org.


And you can check out Reema’s interview on Steve’s podcast, “Alive with Steve Burns” here.

WSJ What’s News - Judge Orders U.S. to Pay Back $130 Billion of Tariffs

A.M. Edition for Mar. 5. The Trump administration is on the hook for billions in tariff refunds. WSJ global economics correspondent Tom Fairless says that provides some relief for the more than 2,000 companies who are looking to claw back money they’ve paid in duties. Plus, China cuts its economic growth forecast as it preps for an era of slower expansion. And Europe ups its support for the U.S. war on Iran but many countries remain critical. WSJ’s Max Colchester and Austin Ramzy explain why the strikes on Iran have divided U.S. allies and adversaries equally. Luke Vargas hosts.

What A Day - Can Talarico Turn Texas Blue?

Three states – North Carolina, Arkansas, and Texas – held primaries Tuesday. The turnout was massive, but so were the stakes, with the balance of power in Congress being decided this year. Texas held the spotlight with record campaign spending during the lead-up and a notable U.S. Senate primary upset by Texas Democratic State Representative James Talarico over Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett. The contentious Senate race between Republican incumbent John Cornyn and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton was so tight it triggered a runoff. NOTUS Congressional Reporter Daniella Diaz joins us to sort out what it all means.

And in headlines, the Senate votes against a War Powers Resolution, the House Oversight Committee subpoenas Attorney General Pam Bondi over her handling of the Epstein files, and RFK Jr. picks a fight with Massachusetts about sweet drinks at Dunkin’.

What Next | Daily News and Analysis - Can Iranians Rise Up? He Already Tried

As recent demonstrations showed, a sizable segment of the Iranian people already opposes the regime. But when President Trump told them to “take over your government,” it seems unlikely he considered how the regime responded to those protests, or other movements for a more open Iranian society.


Guest:  Kian Tajbakhsh, visiting assistant professor at New York University, lecturer at Columbia University, who works on the Committee on Global Thought and in the School of International and Public Affairs.
