We sat down with Ryan Rosenthal and A'ndre Gonawela, foreign policy experts and co-hosts of the Burn Bag podcast, to break down what's going on in Russia and Ukraine.
In this episode, we get to the bottom of why the war is happening now, what financial sanctions actually accomplish, and how they think crypto may (or may not) play a role in the conflict. Ryan and A'ndre are the perfect experts to help us make sense of the situation more broadly – and we felt it was important to have a baseline understanding of what's going on as we continue to report on the implications for the crypto space.
Ryan and A'ndre's podcast, the Burn Bag, is all about breaking down complex ideas for a broad audience (sound familiar?). They've been doing amazing reporting on Russia and Ukraine, so be sure to check them out and follow @burnbagpod on
