Episode 78: A New Russian Dissident: The Young Poet Defying Putin

This week, we have a riveting conversation with Katya V., a young poet and teacher living in Russia who is also pro-Ukraine anti-Putin. Rather than flee for the West, she has decided to stay and protest—and risk imprisonment. It’s a powerful, moving interview. In addition, Ashley and Mike are joined by Bridget Foley, who discusses her profile of Romeo Gigli, perhaps the most-influential fashion designer of the late-80s who lost his label and vanished. Foley tracks him down and tells us what he’s been up to. It’s an episode you won’t want to miss.
