- More Cringe Foreign Policy
I listened to the episode “US Should Unlock Allied Cooperation”. It was full of platitudes, circular logic and stating obvious from former Biden Admin officials. The Biden FP was a huge failure so even having these guests is questionable. The Trump Admin rightly sees the Europeans as having weak militaries, economies and leadership. As a result, a more focused approach by these “Allies” is a superior approach. The guests want more European help in Asia when the Europeans were unable to provide h... more

United Statesa month ago - Poor sound quality
Pretty good content, but you really need to work on the audio. Whenever you have a guest with any bit of an accent, it’s very hard to understand them. The accent will always be hard, but I feel like it is just as much tinny sound quality. Fiona Hill’s audio was particularly bad. I had to slow to .75 to understand her.
Apple Podcasts4Dino-16United States4 months ago - Good info with a big ol’ slant to the left
Been listening for quite a while. It’s become pretty apparent how far left these two are. Under Biden this podcast was positive, even praising of a presidency that was such an obvious failure. Day 1 of the Trump presidency these two are so over the top arrogant about how badly Trump is doing. I’m not actually claiming he is or isn’t but having listened for such a long time I’m not sure they even realize how slanted they are toward the Democratic Party. It’s your typical leftist coverage that we ... more
Apple Podcasts2Wheels1274United States6 months ago - Timely and good selection of guests
I’m a long-time listener and subscriber and the content of this podcast is consistently on point. My one complaint is that the hosts tend to ask long-winded questions of their guests. It seems that they are struggling to understand what question they want to ask and to decide the various ways to ask it. They could improve the podcast by advance planning. Stop elaborating and explaining and ask a simple question.
