This week’s episode of our New York City special is something of a departure from our normal service, in that it’s much more about storytelling than menswear. You can blame Aleks for this; the chance to quiz Air Mail deputy editor and New York Times bestselling author Michael Hainey on his extraordinary career was just too much to handle.

So, in this conversation Aleks explores Hainey’s career, gets his take on ‘finding your voice’, and hears Hainey’s thoughts on why the best journalists write up what they see, rather than what they think. The pair also chat through Hainey’s cathartic experience in writing his extraordinary memoire, After Visiting Friends.
