In Conversation With Zanny Minton Beddoes, Editor-in-Chief of The Economist

from Ruthie's Table 4 · host iHeartPodcasts

Zanny Minton Beddoes and I have different professions, and different workplaces. As editor-in-chief of The Economist, hers is in the newsroom mine is the kitchen. But we have much in common, sharing a message of honesty - me with ingredients, Zanny with words.  And we both have time limits - in the case of this conversation, just 20 minutes which we recorded live onstage at the Google Zeitgeist conference. In this brief time, we explored her work and life through the lens of food. And what a life it is.
