It is now part of my list of trusted sources. Thank you NPR.
I’m usually so bored or uninterested in security. I’m interested in news and politics but I could just never get into security. But I started listening because I wanted more news on Ukraine.
I love this podcast! It makes security so accessible. I always felt on the outs when (mostly) guys talk about security and weapons and defense. But I feel so much more knowledgeable and informed
I look forward to the weekly or update podcasts eagerly. This podcast is truly insightful and authoritative as the contributors are veteran journalists with major beats here and abroad. It's a pleasure to listen to genuine reporting and accurate analysis.
