  • Love Andrew

    Love this podcast — I have listened to and read Andrew for years. Brilliant, with much heart. And I’m a former democrat, a flinty yankee centrist. Ease up with the arguing though — gets to be too strident

    Enjoy this podcast but Andrew talks way too much. I wish he would listen to his guests and not interrupt them so much and allow them to talk more.

Shadi Hamid On US Power And The New NSS

George Packer On Our Post-Liberal World

Growing up in Washington surrounded by intelligence figures sparked a fascination with espionage.
