Yessss
So incredibly needed in these times! Thank you!
Solid Intro
A much needed Wednesday pick me up. Looking forward to the new episode
Honestly excited!
I'm looking forward to this podcast! I know enough about foreign policy to know I need to know a lot more. On the other podcast, Tommy does a great job of explaining foreign policy in human and understandable ways....it's almost as if he wants listeners to be aware of what's happening in this country and the global repercussions of that and vice versa. I'm confident that will continue and get even better on this one. Pod bless Crooked Media (and Dan!) for caring enough about this country, the world, and everyone in it to help us be more informed and active. And thanks for all y'all have done, are doing, and have yet to do! Sincerely.
