And Now The Hard Part

by Foreign Policy
100

The world is a particularly confusing and daunting place these days: Russian bots, North Korean nukes, trade wars and climate emergencies. To understand it better, Foreign Policy and the Brookings Institution are teaming up for an 8-part podcast series. On each episode, host Jonathan Tepperman and a guest from Brookings discuss one of the world’s most vexing problems and trace its origins. And then, the hard part: Tepperman asks the guest to focus on plausible, actionable ways forward. Jonathan Tepperman, Foreign Policy’s editor in chief, hosts the podcast. The guests are some of the smartest and most experienced analysts around—all scholars from the Brookings Institution, including former government and intelligence officials.

    Pease more.
    Not only more episodes, but hour to two hour long episodes would be fantastic.

    Fail
    Only thing worth a star is the attempt And I listened to every episode – a few interesting points and discussions, but not much else to say for it. Like so many Leftover Libtard Launches, it gets aborted. Just like millions of of human lives before they’re even born. Just like over 150,000,000 lives lost to leftist party politics since Karl Marx polluted the world studies of human culture philosophy rights freedom religion — devolved into tyranny communism socialist corruption inefficiency poverty starvation oppression hatred racism … Leftism fails again… At least your “ I Spy “ series is not a total loss. …

    The most important podcast for foreign policy
    What happened guys?! Come back! This is the podcast I feel like I’d been waiting on. Honestly it deserves a Pulitzer for multiple episodes.

    Good topics, biased host
    Interesting themes and intelligent guests. Unfortunately, the host does not check his bias at the door and continually pushes an anti-Trump agenda at the expense of an honest, candid conversation. Disappointing in that regard.

    Not credible
    Socialism. That is clearly the root of the Venezuelan crisis yet they do not order the word once on a podcast about the roots of the crisis. Simply not honest

    Beautiful first episode
    Very in-depth and informed commentary. I also loved the inclusion of audio clips when mentioning historical events.

    Great insight!
    Foreign Policy and Brookings are great organizations. The first episode hit the ground running with Saudi Arabia being the topic point. I can't wait to hear their insight on other issues.
