  • Good, but…

    The show is good, but the music is terribly depressing. I wish they’d stop playing it during every, single transition. Please reconsider the extremely depressing tune that forces me to fast forward through the podcast. Kindly consider your listeners over who paid for that disturbing tune.

    The show is excellent, but the music is terribly depressing; I wish they’d just drop it and do the transitions without it.

  • Review on Why Germany Broke Defense Taboos

    For those interested in US/Europe military-security relations, this podcast in English is fantastic. In this discussion about German defense, the best experts move at a fast clip giving balanced updates.

    But, I encourage these experts to move past describing the gaps to describing the solutions being pursued. The whole podcast, in fact, could be dedicated to the overall process of Europe taking on its own military strengths to be less dependent on the US.
