  • Good content overshadowed by poor production

    I’m sure there’s a lot of great content, speakers, and discussions in these podcasts, but it’s hard to tell because maybe 1 in 4 is actually listenable. So much poor audio production, so many levels being too low, may actually listening to this podcast difficult. With all of the resources Hudson has, it’s ridiculous how horrible it is at ensuring a consistent listening experience. If you’re going to offer podcasts, at least put some effort into making it match expected audio performance.

  • Highly politicised strategic analysis

    This is podcast is one part serious geopolitical, military and strategic analysis and discussion, one part trump campaign rally. The inability to separate the banality of Fox News style political propaganda from objective analysis seriously detracts from the many excellent speakers and guests. Some are so biased that their constant overt political statements both undermines the objectivity of their conclusions and policy recommendations and degrades their credibility as experts within their resp... more

  • Episode 462 China prepares for war

    Great presentation

    Congress, Biden, and the American citizens need to wake up from the DEI, ESG and culture war diversions and confront the true existential threats to our freedoms.

    Thanks to the Hudson Institute for your efforts.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Taiwan’s National Mobilization Against the China Threat
Q: What are the three top legislative priorities for strengthening Taiwan's national resilience?
Secure a multi-year defense budget, pass laws to protect critical infrastructure and enable storage of essential supplies, and develop a playbook for countering legal warfare and cross-border influence operations to raise the cost of coercive actions.
Taiwan’s National Mobilization Against the China Threat
Q: What does the whole-of-society national mobilization mean in practice?
It means democratizing defense across society, teaching civilians practical skills (first aid, evacuation, sustaining food and energy, and open-source intelligence), and building five layers of resilience from professional military to civil institutions, with a focus on how to act during warfare.
A Conversation on US Communications Law
Q: Okay. Why should a law student take a communications law course?
Because communications law touches almost every other area of law—entertainment, privacy, First Amendment, antitrust, IP—and because the field is highly dynamic, offering opportunities to lead in evolving areas like privacy and internet regulation more readily than more static fields.
Japan’s Role in the Indo-Pacific: A Conversation with Shigeru Kitamura, Former National Security Adviser of Japan

Japan’s Role in the Indo-Pacific: A Conversation with Shigeru Kitamura, Former National Security Adviser of Japan
