You can watch that conversation with Padma Lakshmi along with this one with Wagner Mora or any of our recent conversations on our YouTube channel.

Just search for at NPR wildcard.

Today's episode was produced by Annabelle Edwards and Summer Tomod.

It was edited by Dave Blanchard, mastered by Becky Brown.

Wildcard's executive producer is Yolanda Sanguini, and our theme music is by Ramteen Arabloui.

Reach out to us, why don't ya, at wildcard at npr.org.

We'll shuffle the deck and be back with more next week.

Talk to you then.

Are you good at forgiveness?

I'm Rachel Martin, and this is Wildcard, the show where cards control the conversation.

Each week, my guest answers questions about their life, questions pulled from a deck of cards.

They're allowed to skip one question and to flip one back on me.

My guest this week is Melinda French-Gates.

Melinda French-Gates has lived through some very high-profile turning points.

including ending her marriage to Bill Gates and starting her own separate philanthropic work.

She wrote beautifully about all of it in a memoir that was published last year called The Next Day, Transitions, Change, and Moving Forward.

And it is my great pleasure to welcome Melinda French-Gates to Wildcard.

Hi.

Hi.

Thanks for having me, Rachel.
