Reviews

4.8 out of 5 stars from 29 ratings
  • Could be educational but guests are often biased and host makes no attempt to maintain neutrality.

    This review has been building as I let the first few episodes with blatant biases slide. The trend has unfortunately continued. Instead of being a resource to provide insight and education, this podcast is an echo chamber.

  • Insightful and relevant.

    I’m a doctoral student just venturing into the strategic nuclear domain, after a career in military SOF. The range of content is proving extremely useful in orienting me to these topics, and adding context to my studies. The length is perfect for a daily commute or lunch break - it’s easily digestible. Excellent range of topics, and I’m very excited to see what future episodes will feature.
