Bettina Luescher (Former Chief Spokesperson of the UN World Food Programme and News Anchor at CNN International)

In this episode, we hear from Bettina Luescher. Bettina was the chief spokesperson of the United Nations World Food Programme.

We talk about the people she has met in that role - sometimes the world leaders, sometimes the world's poorest. We also talk about her work as the first German news anchor at the CNN international, where Bettina delivered the news to 180 million viewers around the world.

And we find out what drove Bettina to apply for a Fulbright scholarship, and about the unusual encounter that put her on the track for CNN.
