Russian dissident Alexi Navalny has been located. It's someplace cold and inescapable, but he's able to make some Christmasy jokes, so that's "good." Plus, The Gist has found an interview thought lost, about a 17th Century mathematician who was also, in his way, a little lost. Bernoulli's Fallacy: Statistical Illogic and the Crisis of Modern Science is the book, we talk with its author Aubrey Clayton.

Produced by Joel Patterson and Corey Wara
