  • Trash podcast

    If you like leftist pseudo science you will love this. The one I’m listening to is equating Hitler to Lincoln.

    Zero stars.

    Unfortunately the sound quality doesn’t match the content quality.

  • A Wasted Opportunity on a Timely Topic

    This is a very complex topic, and I appreciate the author’s attempt to distill it into a 25-minute excerpt. Like the scholars cited in the research, Robinson’s work should be given a prominent place in mid- and senior-level PME.

    The interviewer did a poor job of eliciting detailed answers. In fact, she sounded by turns bored or patronizing, and was either out of her depth or so inattentive that she bungled Robinson’s full name at the end. Not nearly the best episode I’ve heard, but I will check... more

  • Get an interviewer who can speak ...

    ... the host has a bizarre accent that sounds like Peter Sellers as "Dr. Strangelove" but to make it worse makes awful, weird grunting sounds. He also interrupts as does not give the interviewee enough time to speak. Great books, great topics but the host makes the podcast unlistenable.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Chiara Libiseller, "Reconceptualizing War: The Rise and Fall of Fashionable Concepts in Strategic Studies" (Oxford UP, 2026)
Q: Could you please start us off by introducing yourself a little bit and tell us why you decided to write this book?
Chiara Libiseller explains that she is a lecturer at King's College London, started as a PhD student in War Studies, and wrote Reconceptualizing War to analyze why fashionable terms emerge in strategic studies and how they influence both research and policy.
Silvia Danielak, "Peace Infrastructures: How UN Peace Operations Build Roads, Bridges, and Solar Farms in the Pursuit of Sustainability" (MIT Press, 2026)
Q: Could you start us off, please, by introducing yourself a little bit and telling us why you decided to write this book?
I'm Silvia Danielak, an assistant professor at George Mason University, and I wrote Peace Infrastructures because I kept encountering infrastructures—the roads, bases, energy systems—within peace operations and found they were treated as background rather than central to peace.
Wil Haygood, "The War within a War: The Black Struggle in Vietnam and at Home" (Knopf, 2026)
Q: Why did you choose to tell this story through a set of distinct characters, including nurses, officers, and a journalist?
The characters knit together a panoramic, intimate portrait of the era, showing how diverse Black experiences—frontline, support roles, and civilian observers—intersected with the civil rights struggle and cultural shifts, making the war feel personal and historically embedded.
Are We Entering An Arms Race in Outer Space?
Q: Why is there tension between the Space Force's rhetoric of multilateralism and the push for dominance?
There is a perceptible tension between advocating cooperative, transparent behavior in space and pursuing dominance that could provoke other nations to escalate; the guest argues this tension could undermine long-term stability and public support if not balanced with norms and rules.
Are We Entering An Arms Race in Outer Space?
Q: What is the historical approach to space superiority and how is it evolving under current U.S. policy?
The Space Force has shifted from a posture of broad leadership to openly treating space as a warfighting domain with a goal of space superiority, emphasizing ability to control the domain while restricting adversaries' access and capabilities; this shift is accompanied by debates over multilateralism and the need for guardrails to prevent an unbounded arms race.
