  • Fascinating Africa Episode

    I just listened to Santi’s discussion with Judd Devermont. What an awesome discussion. Judd’s deep expertise and Santi’s insightful questions created a rich conversation about US foreign policy in Africa that any Africa or foreign policy wonk would benefit from. I’m definitely going to dive more into this Pod.
