Alex Schroeder

"Marketplace Morning Report" Producer

SHORT BIO

Alex is a producer for the “Marketplace Morning Report.” He's based in Queens, New York.

Alex joined Marketplace in 2020, working as MMR's digital producer. After a little over a year, he became the show's overnight producer, getting up far before the crack of dawn to put together the day's newscasts with the host and team. Now, he works daylight hours, preparing interviews for the following morning and producing long-term specials and series.

Before Marketplace, Alex worked on several national public radio shows produced out of WBUR in Boston. He was both a radio and digital producer with “On Point,” “Here & Now” and “Only a Game.” Alex also worked at The Boston Globe after graduating from Tufts University.

Alex's interests outside of work tend to fall into one of two categories: film or soccer. (Come on Arsenal!) He’s always looking for ways to cover the economics of entertainment and sports on the “Marketplace Morning Report.”
