The Story Behind News Items

In this special episode, host John Ellis explains how he developed the newsletter that forms the basis of the podcast, and how it evolved – from its start as a 2016 campaign newsletter for employees at Fox Business; to a morning newsletter for The Wall Street Journal CEO Council; to an independent newsletter published on Substack; to of course, a podcast. John also answers some of the questions he gets most frequently from readers and listeners, including how many people work on the newsletter (one), what time he starts at, and what sources he reads.
