b'Jonathan Shainin, senior editor at The Caravan.\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\n"Working in an environment that\'s foreign, where you have to kind of think through a lot of things from the ground up...I find it to be really stimulating to have to interrogate the assumptions that you have as an editor about what\'s interesting and what\'s not interesting, what\'s a good story and what\'s a bad story, what\'s the story that\'s been done a million times already. When you get out of a place that is your place, you have to kind of think through some things in a fresh way. And that can be really productive."\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\nShow notes:\\n@jonathanshainin\\nThe Caravan\\nThe Caravan on Longform\\n[8:00] The National\\n[13:00] India: A Million Mutinies Now (V.S.
