Dear readers,

I recorded a podcast with Paul Krugman, the Nobel Prize winner and former New York Times columnist who is now killing it on Substack, this past Monday, April 7. We had fun talking about Trump, tariffs, data journalism in general, and a bit about my personal story and approach to political analysis.
