  • Good but…

    It’s good but the first segment with news from the region is a kinda silly rehearsed headlines conversation that feels a bit juvenile so I just skip that…

  • Keep it csis style

    Listened to my first episode today and didn’t unfollow only as phone was in the shed while working outside. Luckily I got through the first flippant 10 min, because the remainder was quite useful.

  • I Love This Show!

    I love everything about this show! Genius from start to finish, consistently. The talent, the analysis, the extremely important subject space that it fills, but not least of all, I love the format. More CSIS shows could benefit from this show’s excellent example. ——— “Pacific Airwaves” also gets 5 stars! Ms. Lee is clearly very talented, and this is highly needed content that should be permanent, not ephemeral.

    Sound is poor. Can’t tell what is being said. Are you recording over phones? Disappointing.
