Sirens, a new podcast from the ladies of Bombshell, dissects the institutions of American power. With their trademark wit and charm, join Loren DeJonge Schulman, Radha Iyengar Plumb, and Erin Simpson as they sound the alarm on technology, governance, and national security issues. (And maybe lure men to their deaths.)

I really enjoy the thorough explanation of implications of administration decisions. This is not a podcast to have playing in the background- rather worth making the time to listen deeply.
These ladies give me hope for this country. Listen to this podcast to get smarter on natsec topics, how to think through complex topics, and best books/shows/movies to watch. Loren, Radha and Erin make this show fun and accessible even for those non-security folks. Also, Erin has the most amazing, buttery radio host voice!!
Thrilled these three national security experts have tagged up to draw upon their experiences and provide no nonsense analysis and perspectives on current events. We need more of this high quality content on the airwaves!
I always loved bombshell even though as someone who is not a national security expert I often couldn’t follow the conversation. So far sirens is everything I loved about bombshell and easier for me to follow.
I was bummed when Bombshell ended. Super suprised and excited when it came back. Coming back with the new Sirens show is exactly what I needed to get through 2025.
