Hi there, I'm Lalei Arikoglu, and this podcast is brought to you by Wilderness, a conservation-driven

hospitality company that offers intimate wildlife encounters in extraordinary remote landscapes.

Last year, I embarked on two separate solo adventures with Wilderness, one to Botswana and the other

to Namibia, where the expert guides delivered a truly once-in-a-lifetime

experience. I promise you, whatever you watch and see before you go won't prepare you for the thrill

fashion over and over again.

Your favorite designers, expertly authenticated.

Yeah, eBay.

Things people love.

I'm Dorothy Wickendon.

My colleague, Jill Lippur, is a professor of history at Harvard,

as well as a staff writer at The New Yorker,

I am sure a lot of people are very surprised to learn that you supported raising the minimum wage
