In the fall of 2008, Marketplace began posting a series of videos called the Marketplace Whiteboard. The videos feature Marketplace Senior Editor Paddy Hirsch explaining difficult financial terms and concepts with simple stick-figure drawings on a whiteboard.

The Marketplace Whiteboard was a staff pick on iTunes for six months from its launch in 2008, and was a Webby honoree in 2009.
