- Why so much negativity?
The problem with this pod is that the host routinely adopts a hostile and accusatory position against the UK Defence establishment. The best episodes are when the guests don’t take the host’s bait (eg. Frankopan, Reid), while the worst episodes are when the guests reinforce the host’s negative pitch, turning the pod into a mutual rant (eg. Cornish, King).

Yet another old man whinge-athon. Moan, moan, moan. New series, but same negative pitch. This pod brazenly puts words in the mouths of senior officers/civil servants and then complains about it.
‘School of War’ podcast is a million times better.
Apple Podcasts1Henry de GrosmontUnited Kingdom5 months ago - Do better
The host’s assertion that NATO is a ‘self-serving Alliance’ says it all regarding the quality of this pod.
Apple Podcasts1Henry de GrosmontUnited Kingdoma year ago - Erudition
Please stop putting the word ‘right’ on the end of every other sentence. It’s really annoying self-affirmation, as if the listener automatically has to accept the point being made. And it it quite often hides a glaring over-simplification or generalisation.
