Good discussions but unengaging

“I’ve enjoyed most of the WOTR podcast series and other national security podcasts, but I’ve found the Net Assessment quality has fallen off over the past year. It does bring in new or different articles that I may miss or pass over, so there’s value to listening.
What I’m missing, or noticing, is that I never find myself more interested in the subject or background after the podcast. I haven’t had my curiosity sparked or gain a new or different insight. I get that from some of the Horns of a Dilemma episodes. I don’t get a good discussion that I’m used to with Lawfare, in the sense that it’s not a discussion. I feel like the hosts all end up talking past each other, even when they do debate. I don’t need to hear about what think-tanks are thinking, they already have a bevy of their own podcasts. At a basic level it’s not a high-level thoughtful discussion that I’m getting a peek into.
I think the series would benefit from having a NatSec “celebrity” guest or WOTR writer come on that Zach, Chris, and Melanie could talk about the article/book/series in more detail. That live discussion would be a lot more to work with than three people reading the same article and asking “what did the author mean by that?””

“Podcast episodes are very insightful, but the latest episode on the National Defense Strategy was a bit too much of an earful, stress-inducing with the raised voices and the fast-paced talking. Also, the interruptions and the speaking-before-thinking resulting in lots of pauses and “um’s” and...”Read full review »

“Listened to a couple of podcasts before it became apparent that this group likes very much likes to nit pick and armchair quarterback every little thing. It’s exhausting and not enlightening at all. If you like to hear people get off on their own opinions, you’re in the right place.”
