Episode Notes
Divorces aren’t usually major news events. But in the case of Bill and Melinda Gates, the state of their union is in the public interest. For the last 20 years, the two have led one of the most influential philanthropic organizations in the world.

Guest: Teddy Schleifer, reporter on money and influence for Recode at Vox.
