The Diplomat used to be a fantastic podcast, filled with nonpartisan and nuanced insights that assisted my understanding of the region. I recently returned to the diplomat and found it to be just the opposite. What a shame
Katie and Ankit are excellent and run a tight ship, deeply appreciate their insights here. Quick humor, depth and coverage, and just competent discussion of what's going on. Thanks.
The show makes little attempt to hide its ideological biases, espousing the same weak, apologetic, globalist strategies that have emboldened adversaries like Russia before its invasion of Ukraine and the PRC as it seeks to coerce its neighbors throughout the Indo-Pacific Region.
Excellent overview. So good to hear an Asian rather than Western focus on what these events mean. Keep up the good work 👍
Great topics & interesting guests.
Rude though to keep cutting off an interview partner like that (May 28th).
Just do a better editing job and don’t waste time on remarks about yourself and the show if you are so worried about time.
Key themes from listener reviews, highlighting what works and what could be improved about the show.
