Who is as ready for the NFL Draft as we here at LGM? No one! Scott, Rob, and I sat down last night to hash through a bunch of the issues in the draft, including the state of the quarterbacks. We also more or less went through the first half of the first round, considered trade options, and I think made fun of the Broncos. At least I hope we did. Draft starts tonight, we will have a thread on it.

Last week Cheryl and I had the opportunity to speak with Kathleen McInnis, Senior Fellow in the International Security Program and Director of the Smart Women, Smart Power Initiative at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. We talked about the Russia-Ukraine War, the glacial progress towards an aid agreement in the US House of Representatives, the 75th anniversary of the founding of the NATO alliance, and finally Kathleen’s work engaging with and promoting the work of women in the field of national security. Give it a listen!

The Oral History of the Blogosphere series is back! Scott and I had the good fortune to sit down with Laura McKenna of Apt. 11D. We talked the (sometimes pourous) boundaries of the academic, political, and mommy blogospheres, the process of learning how to write for a non-academic audience, the opportunities that participating in the Golden Age of the Blogosphere could open up, and of course how we all made friends along the way. And make sure to check out Laura’s substack!

On the latest LGM podcast I had the good fortune to sit down with Aidan Dodson, author of the Windfall Battleships: Agincourt, Canada, Erin, Eagle and the Balkan and Latin-American Arms Races. We talk through the Navalism of the first two decades of the twentieth century, which helped generate a procurement environment in which a country like Chile could contemplate the acquisition of large, modern capital ships. We then work through the histories of the four vessels, finishing with a short discussion of Dodson’s next project, a book on the Royal Navy’s Hawkins class cruisers.

For our latest podcast, we talked to Pamela Riney-Kehrberg from Iowa State University about her recent book When a Dream Dies: Agriculture, Iowa, and the Farm Crisis of the 1980s. This was a wide-ranging conversation that explored, among other things, the connections between the farm crisis and the manufacturing crisis of the same time, the culture of individualism among farmers that made it very difficult for them to accept help, how terrible the Carter administration was for both farmers and workers, and how this influenced the growth of far-right politics that have transformed Iowa over the past decade. And of course we also talked about the details of the farm crisis, why it happened, and whether it ever really ended (spoiler alert: it did not). It’s a great book and you should read it.
