United Kingdom4 months ago - A thoughtful perspective on the United States
This excellent podcast takes a nuanced look at the United States "from the inside out." Adam Smith is thoroughly knowledgeable about American history and current affairs and does a great job of placing American events in a global perspective. He discusses various topics with a mix of American and international experts, avoiding cliches and adding new information to even the most frequently discussed topics. His guests are well chosen and highly informed. I recommend it.

United States6 months ago - Among the best
One of the most stimulating, thoughtful, intelligent podcasts on current issues & thought available. A significant benefit of podcasting is the opportunity to hear from intelligent people who previously would have remained relatively anonymous in academia. This pod is a good example of the democratisation of access to expertise provided by podcasting.
