- Helpful but inaudible overview
I agree with previous reviews that the guests are great and grounded in data, but that’s a moot point when they’re so hard to hear. Please do audio checks.

Apple Podcasts4JanMasarykUnited Statesa month ago - Biased much?
I don’t think that Andrea and her cohost could be any more biased toward a particular political persuasion—even if it’s covered with a candy coating of “but wouldn’t you say…” or “yes, but what about our European partners’ concerns” to maintain a modicum of neutrality.
That being said, the guest speakers were several episodes were excellent in that they grounded the conversation with less ideology and more facts.
TL;DR - ignore the moderators, listen to the guest speakers, and pinch your nose... more
Apple Podcasts1BluelabeldrinkerUnited States2 months ago - 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
Apple Podcasts2Jim from Silicon ValleyUnited States3 months 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.
