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?””

“The only saving grace was the recent episode on the marine corps new commandant. It was incredibly refreshing to get a podcast on strategy and intellectual discussion. Most episodes now are just trump bashing with the occasional Chris/Brian fight.”

“Personal attacks against President Trump which are irrelevant and non-probative to the selected issue, reduce the value and analysis of this podcast. I am deselecting this podcast.”
