Showrunner comments
One CA just got 3d at the People’s Choice Awards for best Gov Podcast.
Congratulations to the team for their hard work finding and interviewing people who give insight into working overseas with a partner nation’s people on foreign policy issues.
Our goal is to provide an insider view of current events that, I hope, inspire generations to join the effort, travel the world and help build the international community through person-to-person contacts.
