After her bruising defeat in the US presidential election, Hillary Clinton, one of the most scrutinised women in history, told a St Patrick’s Day event last week she may be “ready to come out of the woods”.

On this week’s podcast we talk to Amy Chozick, a New York Times reporter who has written about Clinton’s career since 2007.

She talks about the real Hillary Clinton as she observed her, the popular misconceptions that hindered Clinton’s pursuit of the presidency, and what kind of future she may have planned.
