This podcast has quickly become my go-to source for thoughtful, in-depth Middle East news and analysis . Joe strikes a perfect balance between journalistic integrity and engaging storytelling, breaking down complex issues with clarity and nuance. Each episode delivers well-researched content in a very intelligent tone. Highly recommended for anyone who values quality journalism and wants to better understand the Middle East world.
I think this podcast will be on of the greatest podcasts that discuss foreign affairs, political history, middle eastern politics in a storytelling way which is on the best way to express and describe the moments that happened behind closed doors. Hands off to Joe and his team for amazing job and research. Keep the music down a bit please ;)
This podcast has a wonderful flow through the world of diplomacy with a deep dive into the humanitarian side of the actors. Joe asks the right questions, you can feel his qualities shine as a host. It also clarifies certain actors and events which give us an honest perspective of what was happening behind closed doors. I look forward to more, thank you, Joe!
In a time where I’m jaded of listening to the news, any news, The Diplomat caught me off guard with a refreshing and stimulating take on events! It doesn’t just give you the news from an entirely different perspective, it actually stimulates your thinking rather than tell you what to think! So happy I found this!
