  • Great variety of topics and perspectives...

    I admit that I happened upon this pod by chance on a search, but I thought it was so nicely done that I soon wound up listening to several more episodes. Interesting and timely topics relevant to Europe and the transatlantic relationship;, interesting guests; and, most importantly, a variety of thoughtful perspectives, many of which are not adequately fleshed out in other sources. Hope you guys keep up the good work.
