“There is a lack of coverage on the subject and this show helps fill that gap. Unfortunately, the hosts’ aren’t great speakers and their equipment makes it difficult to listen for a whole podcast.”

“And most importantly, accurate! Speculation is a huge aspect of irregular warfare but from everything I’ve seen with my own 2 eyes, these talks are the highest quality of information you will come across. Find any subject in here and have a listen. You won’t be disappointed”

“LOVE this podcast! I walk away from each episode with several new research ideas and more insight into how practitioners think about irregular warfare. I’ve assigned episodes on my course syllabi and they’re always a big hit with the students.”

“Very high signal to noise in the fifty or so episodes I’ve listed to so far. Excellent moderators, real practitioners with real experience not your usual talking heads doing the podcast circuit reliving past glories.
I’d recommend anyone who even tangentially involved with these topics to give...”Read full review »

“The 20 year retrospective episode was a brutally honest and incisive analysis of the the last 4 decades plus of US and Allies military intervention and activities. It highlights the faults in both the political and military spectrum, the failures to learn from experience, and inability to hold to...”Read full review »

“I knew little of this area beyond what is on the news. This article is a good overview of the situation. Also of note is that there are factions that would prefer to keep the fighting going because of the money that comes in to the area from NGOs and other sources because of the on going conflict.”

“Why should we listen to you when you have been wrong about everything for the past 30 years? All these types of podcasts say the same thing about building alliances, deploy all over the world etc. but we have been doing that for decades and we are worse off today than we were in the 90’s. This is...”Read full review »

As it evolves, would be great to drop in occasional direct reference to doctrine, or at least in notes. That way we can deep dive the concept afterwards....”Read full review »
