#450: On the First Friday of each month, we roll out a bonus episode that\u2019s totally different from what we usually produce.\nThese bonus episodes are special, unique, and \u2013 we hope \u2013 round out a fuller, more multifaceted picture of what we think about.\nToday, I\u2019m introducing you to a business and economics correspondent from Moscow who I\u2019m honored to call a close friend. Her name is Andrea Palasciano. She\u2019s covered business stories from Paris, Marseilles, Rome and Moscow. She\u2019s fluent in Italian, German, Spanish, French, English and Russian. She\u2019s covered stories ranging from diamond mining in Siberia to sleep deprivation.\nShe\u2019s close friends with Evan Gershkovich, the 31-year-old Wall Street Journal reporter who\u2019s currently in a Russian prison. Today is his 100th day behind bars.\nAndrea and I were both Knight-Bagehot Fellows and bonded during our year of immersing ourselves into deeply\xa0understanding how to tell better stories about business and economics. She joins me in this special episode to talk about the stories she\u2019s covered, the sabbatical experience, and why it\u2019s critical to understand how a bond works (!!).\nEnjoy!\nFor more information, visit the show notes at https://affordanything.com/episode450\nLearn more about your ad choices.
