Finally - A Smart and Relevant Perspective on Homeland Security
Homeland Homeroom, provides current, relevant and important information and perspectives on national security in an engaging way. I especially like the fact that the topics discussed include the realworld impacts of what might seem like inane or irrelevant policies, but which have a true impact on our day-to-day lives. And the hosts are both thoughtful and entertaining.
