Thank you for sharing these incredible conversations. I was particularly affected by your conversation on Africa and Ukrainians in dialogue . It’s so important to see our commonalities and understand our differences.

Thank you for sharing this incredible news and heartfelt but often heartbreaking story from Ukraine and their battle against fascism

If you love democracy this podcast is a must.
Frank Debuke via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/05/23
I can see where valid criticism of any government makes sense. But it’s so clear that Tarrell has such a deep hate of Jews in how he presents information, using the term apartheid against Israel while conveniently ignoring the fact that Israel has 1.8 million Arab citizens with equal rights, with...Read full review »

Looks at current events from the perspective of the oppressed, and allows listeners to hear about the latest in foreign policy and geopolitics from a new perspective. Fantastic guests.

I absolutely love this podcast. Terrell and his guests are addressing issues within NatSec that are almost never discussed amongst experts in a public conversation. I feel like I’m chatting with my professional friends when I listen. If you’re not into it yet, get into it, because this is the...Read full review »

Love the new format of the show and really gets to the heart of examining what’s going on in Ukraine (and beyond). Interesting guests and SMEs, well worth tuning in.

I’m picky about my podcasts and this one makes the cut. A pleasure to listen to.
jsvuniquenickname via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/11/22
Without this excellent independent journalism we in America would have to rely on the CNN and NY Times of it all - and that would be very unfortunate. Thank you for content and context.

This perspective is so missing, yet so necessary. I glad that I bumped into your podcast one day. Many blessings on you.

Wonderful podcast! Really enjoyed the latest interview with the lady politician. (Amongst others) . Thanks for the great reporting!

A fresh and inciteful point of view from someone who cares and some very very good guests. The music is good too!

I didn’t like it
Webb2727 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/22/22
This is my source of what’s happening on the ground and a source for how I get to know the people of Ukraine and their plight. Don’t we need this kind of information about the world around us? I say Yes!

Love you podcasts, thank you
dom_i_n_i_c via Apple Podcasts · Switzerland · 03/20/22
I’ve worked in Global Trade for a decade and I’ve traveled + lived internationally. I truly appreciate getting these real-time authentic views from knowledgeable people outside of America with a Black lens integrated into the conversation. Keep going and stay safe!
Warrengr333 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/02/22
So often we hear from ‘international experts’ who view the world from a limited white western world view. The host, currently living in Ukraine has a policy to bring on journalists/activists/diplomats/academics indigenous to the region under discussion. Currently it’s a good way to understand...Read full review »

This is a great podcast always providing unique perspectives on international events you can’t get anywhere else

We need more podcasters like Terrell. During this conflict, I am hungry for non white, non Western coverage and points of view. Kudos, Black Diplomats.
Golfkim@50 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/27/22
I have been listening to this podcast ever since it’s inception but it has never been more important. The timeliness of T being in Ukraine, and so knowledgeable about the people and the politics. We are so lucky to have him.
RoRoRiverside via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/23/22
Terrell Starr is doing truly important work cutting through the sensationalist headlines to bring a fresh perspective borne of his lived experience. His solidarity and his ability along with his guests to break down Russian colonialism is the vanguard of East European analysis and reportage.
SoundersTroutGuy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/22/22
The world is changing and it’s way past time for some new perspectives. It’s so good to hear Terrell’s much needed voice in the U.S. foreign policy arena.
CDEinWDC via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/15/22
The production is a bit low tech, but the content is tremendously interesting. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
Huldena via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/12/22
It’s rare to find such a cross sectional perspective on matters related to the Baltic states. Loved the episode in regards how these matters relate to Germany!!
NormallyQuiet via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/01/22
I've learned a little the few times I've listened. Largely it's inaccurate and very biased towards pro-war and imperial United States foreign policy. I don't reccomend subscribing or listening.Read full review »

Coverage that is difficult to find elsewhere both in terms of content and perspective
Lucas Brooks via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/26/22
It’s powerful that Terrell actually gives platform to the voices that are actually living under the issues that we have the privilege to only read about in the mainstream press. Highly insightful podcast and I’ve learned a tremendous amount. A must listen.

Great insights from a unique perspective
Jhig67 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/16/22
Thoughtful and informative foreign policy discussions, with a variety of compelling guests.
Adh1626 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/13/22
Go-to podcast to learn about all things relating to international politics.

3 of my favorite people on your podcast?!? OK!
huckleberry79 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/02/22
Love this show for the great variety of American and international voices and perspectives on America and our role and actions in the world.

Good to have the show back and really looking forward to more interesting and varied shows over the coming months. Patrick
Lily spa via Apple Podcasts · Ireland · 12/14/21
This show is easily the most interesting foreign policy show I have listened to. I’m always learning something new from the guests and Terrell is a warm, engaging interviewer to listen along with.
Moocow14 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/21/21
So insightful and interesting! One of the best foreign policy podcasts out there
KaraZielinski via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/17/21
Starr brings entirely new perspectives to parts of the world I know fairly well and parts of the world I don’t know at all. Anyone even slightly interested in Blackness in the world and decentralizing white American perspectives should be subscribed to this.
UBGPCU2011 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/11/21
This podcast provides unseen perspectives from black diplomats, foreign policy experts, and activists. I am a proud Patreon supporter. This type of foreign policy analysis is not available anywhere else. Please keep up the great work.
TwinCitiesEater via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/07/21
Engaging, insightful, graciously principled, authentically informed viewpoints and fascinating conversations. I studied in Russia years ago, and continue to follow news and culture of the region. This podcast is so wonderful, I really value Mr. Starr’s intelligent, balanced efforts to investigate...Read full review »

I love this show because foreign affairs is outrageously dominated by white men. In a world that is majority Black and Brown - this is really problematic but Black Diplomats is a wonderful antidote. Listen!
Tigre467998 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/25/21
I just started listening 2 weeks ago and have already listened to about 10 episodes now. Black Diplomats is quickly becoming one of my favorite podcasts. I highly recommend it.
HANKTHETANK1982 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 04/20/21
Black Diplomat is an exceptional podcast whose radical approach towards understanding how foreign policy is central toward black liberation. Terrell is a visionary for starting this intellectual space because it is long overdue.
Madswan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/17/21
Grateful for Terrell Starr for educating me for many years and now with this podcast! Starr and the guests show a level of world and self-awareness that is rare and MUCH NEEDED! I’m always excited to listen and sometimes listen a second time to each show.
Harvard Lawless via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/16/21
I learned of this podcast after seeing the host on network news. I walk away from this podcast with a lot of insights of national and international matters. I appreciate all of intellectual discussions and perspectives. This podcasts aids in my political engagement and understanding of complex...Read full review »

I came to this podcast after Terrell did his interview on Pod Save the World, right as I was looking to add more perspectives to my list of podcasts as we move to a post-Trump presidency world. I’m a 26 year old white guy who became politically conscious when Trump was elected (now considering...Read full review »
