Not very nuanced. It would be nice to have guest contributors’ viewpoints and opinions challenged, or at least elaborated on. Without that, it sounds like a series of politically-biased talking points strung together for a majority of each episode.

I enjoy listening, as I learn a great deal from each episode. Thank you.

I have tried repeatedly to listen to this over the last year. After 12 months, I have only found one or two episodes that reflected centrist positions that we’re both critical and well thought out. This is a podcast for the “Woke” strategist to feel good about themselves within their own bubble of self reflection.

This podcast is interesting with good topics, but they really need to figure out their audio. It’s so hard to understand anyone due to the poor audio quality that I stop listening to the episode.

Helpful details from Brooks; lots of vague platitudes from the other speaker who even cut Brooks off during his opening remarks to speak—or that was bad podcast editing. Failed to substantiate the ROK alliance value beyond the Korean Peninsula beyond referring to metaphors of past policy documents’ terms of “keystone” alliance and such.

Dear Producer, The speakers are enchanting with their knowledge and eloquent presentations. But in several podcasts the mediator mentions Q&A sessions with the key note individuals. I wast left with a need unfulfilled when these sessions were not included. Is there anyway to include these later on?!? Overall I love the podcast! Keep it coming. Hook Em! 🤘🏽

Given the guests that’ll likely appear on this podcast, it’s hard to imagine future episodes won’t be as insightful or full of wisdom as the first two episodes. Looking forward to it! If you like [one of the like fifty good national security / policy podcasts], I bet you’ll like this one too. Definitely listen to the first episode while you’re at it — should age well, and I particularly enjoyed hearing perspectives on leadership in public office from former agency leaders.
