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.
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.
I am a professional in the national security space and work on nuclear issues regularly. This podcast is a wonderful resource and wealth of information on nuclear policy. Keep up the good work!
Life liberty and the pursuit of happiness is built on the foundation of nuclear deterrence’s contribution to national security. This podcat makes accessible the policy features and operational facets of the nuclear security enterprise.
This podcast is great with the diversity of interviews. The nuclear deterrence is the backbone of US National Security, all politicians, academia, and DoD members should listen to learn. Thank you for a great venue to move deterrence forward.
