  • Biased and activist pod

    Listen to the Foriegn Affairs Interview for global affairs with a neutral and balanced host. This podcast is opinion-driven and advocacy-oriented. Like being in an echo chamber.

    Diana Hutte on Gaza deal and Palestinians was probably the least educational thing I’ve heard and pure garbage

  • Stephen Walt

    Today’s episode was, sadly, a prime example of ideological capture. What happened to intellectual vigor and honesty? Extremely disappointing for a brand, FP, whose journal helped inform many of my thoughts and ideas about the complexity and nuanced nature of foreign policy and global politics during my studies in the 90’s. Ravi, you’ve destroyed the credibility of FP.
