  • A fan but…

    … I’d enjoy this podcast much more if Andrew could ask shorter, single idea questions and interrupt his guests a little less. Take a leaf out of Tyler Cowen’s book?

    Decent podcast. But you’re insane to ask us to subscribe without first being able to listen to at least a few full-length episodes.

  • 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

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Zaid Jilani On How The Dems Can Win
Q: How do Democrats break out of the current political status quo?
They need to acknowledge the flaws in their policies and engage in constructive internal disagreement to create a new vision for the party.
Zaid Jilani On How The Dems Can Win
Q: What is the key economic message you think the Democrats need to be making?
Democrats need to focus on affordability as the main issue for middle-class families and understand that the concentration of corporate power is driving up costs.
Shadi Hamid On US Power And The New NSS
Q: How did you respond to Obama's approach to foreign policy in the Middle East?
I felt betrayed by Obama because he promised to prioritize small-D democracy but ultimately failed to enact meaningful changes.
Shadi Hamid On US Power And The New NSS
Q: Tell me, if you were to say one thing about your childhood, that made it different, what would that be?
My childhood was a very mixed identity childhood; I am American, Muslim, Arab, and those different identities were always at play.
George Packer On Our Post-Liberal World
Q: Why did you decide to become a journalist?
George Packer describes his decision as a circuitous route involving a Peace Corps stint in West Africa, where he grappled with personal and professional identity, eventually leading him to journalism after writing a book about that experience.
